MedfOrd School Windows
Are Reported Nailed Shut

Medford Sun: When you women
see the dreadful results of poor air
and imperfect ventilation in your
schools why do you allow it? Why
don't you go out with hatchets and
break down every window in every
school house in Medrord?"
This was the militant appeal made
by DR.. Bertha Stuart of the Univers-
ity of Oregon at the close OF her lee
ture on open air schools at the public
library yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Stuart had just returned from
another visit to the high school and
she was boiling with Indignation at
the conditions she found there.
when | entered the corridor the
air was sitting. teacher informed
me in a whisper that he realized it
was hot, but there was no way OF
getting fresh air for the windows
were nailed down.
Think of that! Windows nailed
down in your high school in this city.
1t was the same in the assembly
room ! asked If we couldn't open
the win lows. The teacher complied
and soon we had something like a
healthful and living atmosphere
there. The result was miraculous. |
had twice the interest that | had the
day before. The girls and boys were
alert and alive, and feel sure re-
tanned something that was said"
There is nothing freaksh in this
idea. The fresh air school Is an es-
tablished fact in Portland and other
cities. The idea started in Boston
for tubercular children. Results were
marvellous, Not only did the children
improve in health, but they learned
twice as much as before in half the
time. So the school authorities ar
gued IL open air schools were good
for sick children why not for the
well AS a result every large city in
the United States almost has one or
more open air schools.
But won't the children take
cold?' ! am asked. No. In an open
air school in Portland 40 children
went through the winter without
cold. In hot air school there were
sc colds among 40 children.
"Of course the students can't sit
in an outdoor atmosphere all day.
They must exercise and move about.

Klamath Falls DebaterS
Defeat Ashland Team

debate the winner of another of the
districts that comprise the State High
School Debating League. And If
this second debate is won by the To-
cal team it will be eligible for COM
petition in the final contest for the
championship of the state.
The debate last night was charac-
terized by careful preparation on the
part of both teams and the work done
by the local team and the visitors
evidenced careful study and much
preparation. Perhaps the best fea-
ture of the debate was the evident
fact that the students had done their
own thinking and speaking and were
not merely declaiming speeches writ
ten for them by others.
The klamath county high school
team was well balanced and was su-
perior to its opponents in argument,
rebuttal and delivery. Miss Fern
Wood presented the most convincing
speech for the local high school, but
she shared her honors with William
Magelstein, whose forcible presenta-
tion of his division of the argument
did much to win victory for the local
school. Forrest Peil had the diff
cult task of making the Introductory
remarks and outlinging the subject.
In this he did well, but his most eff
fective speech was made in rebuttal
during the last few minutes of the
debate.
Although on the popular side of
the question, the Ashland team
seemed to fail in that the arguments
were not driven home with such ST
fectiveness as were those advanced
by the local team. Billy Briggs of
Ashland made the most pleasing and
at the same time the most convincing
statement for his side of the case.
and had he not made the error of
trying to speak after the bell had
told him that his time had expired
he would have materially enhanced
the chances of his team to win"
Rev. E. o. Richards, formerly Of
Ashland and now pastor of the NJ. e..
church at Klamath Falls, presided at
the debate.
Miss Mcknight OF the local high
school faculty, the debating coach.
accompanied the team to Klamath
Falls.

The Ashland high school debating
team which went TO klamath Falls
Thursday noon to debate the high
school team at that place Friday
night met with defeat. The klamath
Falls Northwestern, whose publisher
was one of the judges, gives an ex-
tended report OF the debate, from
which are taken the following eX-
tracts
The Klamath county high school
last night won the championship of
the southern Oregon division of the
Oregon High School Debating League
by defeating the debating team from
the Ashland high school. The de-
bate was held at Houston's Opera
House. The question was, Resolved,
That the policy of California, as ex-
pressed in the anti-alien land law,
should be adopted in Oregon" The
klamath county high school upheld
the negative of the question. The
decision of the judges was unanimous
for the local team. The klamath
team was composed of Miss Fern
Wood, William Hagelstein and For
rest Peil. The Ashland team was
composed of Walter Carpenter, Billy
Briggs and ]. Withrow. The judges
were Professor Joseph Shafer of the
University of regon, Attorney Her.

The accepted plan is for 20 minutes
of study and 1len recreation. Tho
schools in Medford at present dry up
the chidren's eyes, warp their shoul-
ders and bake their brains. No won
der they learn little and are fit sub
jects for anemia, catarrh and colds,
No wonder they fall asleep at their
desks The open air school room has
100 per cent department. The chill
dren are too full OF interest and
health and mental alertness to mis-,

"Out to Win"
Dry Campaign

The "Out to Win" campaign. which
already has begun in Portland and
vicinity, is rapidly spreading all over
Oregon with vigor and unanimity
among its workers that promises we'll
for its elimination in the fall. This
campaign has enrolled as workers
many who expect to bring things to
pass for the betterment of the state
by abolishing saloons within it's bor-
ders.
The fact that our citizens being
overfed by technicalites rolled up in
court decisions will be only an added
factor to assist in the closing of
these schools for drunkards. More
over, it is causing many to declare
that the voice of the plain people
shall not be silenced forever
DR.. Mccullough of Medford, one
of the prime promoters in the work
for better citizenship in that city
where a signal victory at the polls
was brought about last week, will
speak at the armory Tuesday even
ing. He will supplement the work
by Mrs. Booker.
Everyone is invited to attend this
important rally, where plans and
projects will be ufnolded.

Armory to Be Dedicated
Friday Afternoon, Feb. z

cert by the First Band, Coast Artil-
lery Reserve, and guard mount by
the local company This is a most
interesting military spectacle and on
the spacious drill floor the boys will
be able to execute the difficult cere-
mony in fine shape. II will be full
dress affair and the boys will present
a decidedly fine appearance. From
nine until midnight there will be
dancing with music by the military
band. The full details of the dance
have not yet been completed and
will be announced at later date.
Colonel Creed G. Hammond spent
Sunday in Ashland with Captain
Spencer and together they laid tenta-
tive plans for the dedication of the
new building. Colonel Hammond
was shown over the building and he
was especially pleased with the
amount of work done thus far by
members Of the company and stated
that the state would not be slow in
meeting the boys half way in their
efforts at furnishing the building
In fact he stated that they would
furnish dollar for dollar up to seven
hundred dollars for them. This is
most pleasing to those in charge of
the armory as it will relieve them

DORONER'S JURY FINDS VERDICT
TO THAT EFFECT FRIDAY.
ACCUSED MAN 76 YEARS OF AGE
Crime Was Committed in Osborn
Cabin on Sucker Creek Last Tues
day-Alexander Was Mean When
in PoOrhouse Last Winter.

The responsibility for the killing
of John Norling and Curtis Master
son, the miners who were found dead
IN the Osborn cagin on Sucker creek,
Josephine county, Wednesday, is
placed upon William Alexander, the
76-year-old prospector, by the cor
oner's jury that was impanelled
Thursday at Grants Pass and that
went out to the death cabin to view
the remains.
Alexander Tried to Escape.
1t is the belief at Holland from
the findings that have thus far been
made that Alexander tried to escape
by crossing the divide, but finding
the snow too deep was forced to re-
turn to the Holland district. He was
taken at Holland by Deputy Sheriff
Trefethen. From statements made
by Alexander it would appear that
there had been some trouble, al
though he does not state the exact
nature. From the fact, however,
that 'Norling was undressed and in
bed, the findings would indicate that
no serious immediate trouble had
been anticipated. Masterson was
fully dressed and Alexander says
that just prior to and during the
shooting "Masterson was jumping
around" probably to evade the shots
or to get the gun. Alexander's re-
volver is a 32-calibre six-shooter of
the English bulldog" variety.
The affair has especial interest in
Jackson county from the fact that
two of the parties concerned in the
tragedy were well known in this
county. Norling was formerly leader
of the Jacksonville band and well
known both there and in Medford
William Alexander, held for the muir
der, was an inmate of the county

ABOUT 13O BOYS WE'RE PRESENT
AT MEETING.

Inspiring Talks and Music Together
With Interesting Anecdotes and
Good Supper, Combined 10 Make
Evening Eventful One.

The gathering of Ashland bows at
the dining room in Eilks Temple Fri
day evening may prove historic. 1t
is the launching of the first Boys Vo-
cational Club in southern Oregon. il
not in the state or on the Pacific
coast. That the movement wilP
spread to all Elks lodges throughout
the United States is the sincere wSsI
and belief of many, and if so it VIII
be an enduring monument to Ash
land Lodge No. 944 and to Professor
Vining
The club, which is along the lines
of Professor Winnings work with the
Y. NJ. c. A. of the east, is very dear
to his heart and he is of course es-
pecially interested in the boys of the
west and particularly those of Ash
land.
1t is doubtful if a single boy pres
ent Friday evening fully realized the
amount of work Professor Vining wRs
was taking upon himself in organ
izing this club. 1t means not only
that he will be the principal lecturer
and leader of the club, but that he
will be the friend and counsellor of
every boy in the club.
The committee in cnarge, as well
as Professor Vining. were both
pleased and surprised with the turn
out to the meeting, about 1870 boys
being present despite the heavy wind
and threatened rain.
The meeting was called to order
by Prof. Vining, who explained
briefly the objects and aims of the
club.

half of Ashland Lodge No. 944. Is.

In Gold Hill?

According to the Gold Hill News.
Manager Vance OF the Home Tefe-
phone Company is out in an inter
view in which he states that the rev
enue from the Gold Hill exchange is
only 1929 per month. The latest
phone book from there gives 10

the Gold Hill people are getting
phone service much cheaper than
Ashland. as the minimum for this
city Is $3.50 per month.
