Deplores School Conditions.

E L Thurston. superintendent of
schools, said that one-third of the
classes now in Washington schools are
too large, building has been delayed after
appropriations had been made. and books
and supplies have been tied up by
traffic jams
-All these things we can stand If
certain other vital requirements are
met" the superintendent said.
The teacher problem is vital to the
child Here. as elsewhere. we now
have a situation that is humiliating,
Embarrassing, impossible and intoler-
able, where a teacher who enters the
schools at basic salary OF $500 or $500
sees the children she instructs go out
and get salaries of 81. 600 and s1,2e0.
what is there to induce a teacher
to spend four years in high school and
two extra years in normal school when
pupil may take two years at a business
school and make twice as much as the
teacher who has spent many more years
in preparation for her work?
Thus the teacher problem has be-
come not merely one of keeping those
I'VE have, but of getting new ones"

Great Demand for
Manganese May Be
Supplied Locally
(By A. Il. Kellogg)

The extraordinary demand for man
ganese in the manufacture of open
hearth steel and the curtailment of
available foreign resources, has led
to a crisis, which southern Oregon
can possibly relieve. The imports of
ferro-manganese from England have
declined from an average of 1871
tons monthly in 1916 to 2717 tons,
while our domestic output during the
same period showed an insignificant
increase from 1S,462 to 21,941 tons
per month to meet our needs of 2S,-
600 tons per month.
The shortage at the end og 1916
was so serious in the United States
that the alloy committee of the coun-
ell of national defense issued a warn
ing to the steel makers to adopt every
possible means to recover manganese
by the remelting of Stag, and the sub
stitution of apiegeleisen as far as
practicable also was suggested. This
unexpected development brought up
the question of means to meet the
emergency. 1t is generally under
stood and accepted that metalurgical-
]y there is no satisfactory substitute
for manganese in the manufacture of
steel. Both ferro-manganese and
spiegeleisen contain much carbon.
Were lower manganese alloys avail
able, having a low carbon content,
they would probably be as satisfac.
tory as the present ones, and could
be much used.
A solution OF the problem, which
holds out some hope, is the conver-
sion Of our immense deposits Of valu-
able iron ores in southern Oregon
into low-carbon manganese-iron al
10y. Blast furnace reduction does not
meet the requirements. The electric
furnace may solve the problem. With

ganese or substitute are doing a
patriotic service to their country just
now.
Manganese of a high grade appears
in small seams in the Gold Hill iron
deposits, less than one mile from the
depot, which consists of large dixie
of limonite, hematite, and magnetic;
in the Chisholm mine, in the Mead
ows district, these seams are observed
in large copper and gold bearing
dixie; and again they appear quite ex-
tensive in the Waldo district, below
the Josephine county caves; there
it consists of rhodonite and rhodo-
chrosite, forming viens in quartzite.
II does not seem possible that these
small seams are deposits of economic
Importance. But possibly where man
ganese appears in our extensive iron
dikes in these rich seams, surely the
entire mass must contain a small per
cent of manganese in sufficient guam
titles to produce a carbon man.
ganese-iron alloy. / am basing my
theory on the fact that all the CHINA
bar dikes in this region carry low
percent of quicksilver in the entire
mass, which is invariably impregnat-
ed with small seams of the metal as
saying as high as so per cent native
quicksilver Recent tests of the Gold
Hill iron deposits have bourne out
my theory, and it would seem to offer
an opportunity for helping to provide
an increase of desirable manganese
ore from number of relatively low
grade deposits in this region. 1t is
easy to determine eXperimentally with
large average sample from any par
ticular deposit precisely what amount
of merchantable manganese could be
recovered to form a low-grade iron
alloy from such deposit.
But the problem of securing large
supply of manganese in this region
TO supply the deficiency is being solv-
ed by the uncovering of extensive
deposits of this metal adjoining our
iron deposits. The most promising
Of these deposits have been recently
uncovered and developed in the Lake
creek district east of Medford. The
Manganese Metal company, Tacoma
concern, which has recently erected
a large reduction plant on their Lake
creek property, has made its initial
shipment of 80 tons of manganese
concentrates, and that tonnage will be
increased rapidly from now on, judg-
ing by arrangements to enlarge their
output. The success of the Tacoma
people will be the means of further
advancing the Lake creek district and
the numerous properties throughout
this region.

High School Notes
(By Dave WHITLEY

The talk last Wednesday morning
was made by Rev. Brett of the Con-
gregational church on the subject of
Wealth and Commonwealth" He
presented the English view of the
present war and their attitude in the
past wars in very interesting way.
The senior play, "Charley's Aunt" ,"
promises to be lively one. Practice
has begun and will be pushed hard.
Many of the typewriting students
have made their credit in typewriting.
A test is given every Thursday at
noon.
A rehearsal of "Bulbul," the opera
to be given, was had in the Chautau-
qua building last Friday morning.
The opera will be staged about two
weeks after the senior play.
Professor Briscoe made an appeal
for cooperation in the proposed
thrift stamp and books for soldiers
drives to the student body last Thurs
day morning. Ten teams to work on
the thrift stamp drive will be taken
from the senior high.
The physics class has planned a
social meeting for some time in the
near future. We will play the vic
trola, look at pictures and have a
high old time in general, and Incl
dentally department grades will not
suffer therefrom.
A senior class meeting was called
Friday afternoon for the purpose of
securing the number of invitations
wanted by the members.
Ten teams of two members each
were selected from the student body
by Mayor Lamkin to solicit in the
present thrift stamp campaign. The
students are especially fitted to do
this work as it is taken up in con-
nection with the English classes some
time ago. Most of the teams met
with decided success.
