Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-12-01
What is the Matter With the Medford
Schools?


Medford Sun: The financial re-
port of the Medford schools present.
ed to the county court shows that it
costs $44.39 to send a pupil to the
Ashland schools, while it costs $5O.62
to send a pupil to the Medford
schools.
Other conditions being the same,
the per capita cost should decrease
with the increase in numbers. Yet
there are 1892 scholars in the Ash
land schools and 1918 in the Med
ford schools.
Moreover, the Ashland schools are
superior in many ways to the Med
ford schools. This is particularly no
ticeable in the high school. Ashland
has a better building, has a large
athletic field, which Medford has
none, and is better equipped.
Why is this? Is it poor manage
ment, lack of funds, excessive
growth? What is it?
The Medford school board, we are
informed, are without funds There
is sinking fund to meet. They are
asking for new tax system which
will, by bringing all property under
the school levy, increase the funds
while it decreases the rate.
One thing is certain-good schools
cannot be maintained without money.
Another thing is certain-there is
nothing in the long run so expensive
for community as poor schools.
People with children to educate are
not going to remain in place where
the schools are below grade if they
can help it. From every point of
view, educational, social, commercial
it is imperative that Medford have
as efficient and satisfactory a school
system as any city of it's size in the
state.

Let Your Children Play All They
Want To


Want To.
In the December Woman's Home
Companion DR.. Roger H. bennett, a
New York physician who is expert in
the care and treatment of children,
writes an article entitled How to
Make Babies Better" Following is
an extract in which DR.. bennett
gives his ideas of exercise for chill
dren:
ut seems to be the practice Of
some mothers to suppress their chill
dren in their play, with the idea that
it is for their good. | cannot under
stand why this suppression is so pop
ular, because believe that through
cut childhood there are few excep-
tions to the rule that a child should
be allowed to be as active as he
wishes. Not long ago / asked a moth
er whose child did not seem to be in
the best of health if she was very
active in her play The mother re-
piled that her child was very lively
indeed but that she was not allowed
to run when she was out of doors
for fear of getting overheated, there
was so much danger of her catching
cold afterward. This is not at all
unusual, for | meet this suppression
almost every day. Such mothers
should learn that their children are
far more apt to catch cold when
they do not get the proper amount
of exercise than when they are al
lowed to run and play all they like.
Let your children be as lively as they
wish and play to their hearts con-
tent. If they are not naturally ac-
tive, encourage in, them a fondness
for games. Most of us have caught
the spirit of the fresh air treatment,
and 1t would be well II we could
learn that exercise is just as impor-
tant."

Are Farmers More Careful of Their
Stock Than of Their Families?

The current issue of Farm and
Fireside contains a department .enti-
tied THE Experience Bazaar" This
is an open market for the exchange
of experiences where readers give and
gather the fruits of their experience
The following is a contribution to
this department on the subject of
better babies:
Il am very much interested in this
movement for better babies. l think
it is a good idea to go back and be-
gin with the fathers and mothers.
Talk with our farmers and see how
careful they are in breeding their
best stock. Do they take their choic-
est young heifer or mare and turn
her loose, or do they separate her,
leaving her quiet and cared for until
she shall bring forth her young?
"In the home it is different. The
wife is not cared for in the same
scientific way. She is expected while
bearing children to continue her
usual duties as wife. Can we have
healthy, happy mothers and whole
some babies under such conditions
[ once heard a physician say, Surely
man has fallen lower than the
beasts, and the testimony of thou
sands of women shows this to be
true. What is the result? Mothers
worn out and unable to care for their
children.
Women have been taught they
must submit, and men that they have
a right to demand. Is it not time
that such teaching should stop and
that women should secure their hus-
bands protection?
''If this thought were presented to
men and women in the right way it
seems to me they would be ready to
act on it,"

Jackson County Not One-Crop
Country.

Jackson County Not a One-Crop
Country.
Portland Journal: Southern Ore
gon is not one-crop country. Jack
son county will have an exhibit at
the Chicago land show under the di-
rection of D. M. Lowe of Ashland
that will demonstrate this. From
one farm he will exhibit 204 differ
ent valuable products.
j. T. Parton of Eagle Point has
demonstrated that 10S bushels of
corn can be raised to the acre, and
he is shipping out hogs by the car
load, fattened on that corn. A few
years ago Medford was bringing in
practically all hog meat from San
Francisco and the east.
R. w. Eldon of Seven Oaks, Jack
son county, has recently sent in two
carloads of fat hogs finished off on
Jackson county corn.
Last spring o. H. Harris leased IL
acres of land from a real estate firm
and put in potatoes and onions.
From two, and a half acres Of
onions he shipped out over 1000
sacks of marketable product. From
the remainder of the ground he Sc
cured 800 sacks of good potatoes.
The land is situated about two and
a half miles from Medford and there
is more land in Jackson county wait
ing for the application of labor and
capital.
On the east side of the river is a
little railroad depot and some cars
on the side track that still have the
wording Astoria & Columbia River"
along their Sides This line extends
to Butte Falls, 35 miles in north
east direction, and is considered as
part of the Hill system by the Med
ford people. 1t has been held with
out development for two years.
The fruit grower of Medford and
Jackson county is an important ele-
ment of the community, but it has
been demonstrated that the hog is a
peach" too, when it comes to drop
ping $40 gold pieces into farmers
bank account. There will be more
corn and more hogs shipped out of
Jackson county in 1914 than in any
10 years previously, is the prediction
of those in a position to know. Corn
land that can show over 100 bushels
to the acre is not going to be entirely
devoted to prunes and pears and ap-
pies, with hogs bringing $24 each in
the Portland and San Francisco mar
kets.
Dairying is becoming a real indus
try, too. Some cream is being
shipped out, and the butter in Med
ford no longer comes from California
and Missouri
