READING COURSE FOSTERED
by PARENT.TEACHERS ASSN

The Parent-Teachers association
is fostering reading course for the
grammar school students Of the CITY,
in the third to eighth grades inclu-
siye. and is offering certificates OF
reward to every student who reads
the prescribed list OF books.
The fact that large number OF
grammar school pupils are deficient
in reading caused the association to
take this way of encouraging them
to do more work along this line, en-
deavoring to help the children be-
come better readers by offering the
inducement of the certificates.
Twenty lists of ten books each
have been made out by the librarian
and any scholar is given a choice
OF several lists, from which to Sc
lect a reading course. The books
selected by the librarian are of the
very highest grade, which promises
knowledge of real literature to all
children who undertake the course.
AS an additional impetus to the
movement, the school board has
agreed to give five credits to each
student who finishes reading a list
of ten books during the school year
This should prove valuable to the
student, as the additional credits
help out at any time and might
mean that pupils without sufficient
credits otherwise woud be enabled
to enter the next grade.
Every pupil should put forth an
extra effort to obtain this certifi'
cate and the credits which 1t will
bring, by spending few hours Of
leisure time in reading good books

Ousted Night Policeman in Quandiy
As to Nature OF the Complaints
~ Which Caused His Removal; Lam
kin Out of Town.

One of the most puzzled and hurt
men in the city today is Webster
Wertz night police officer, who was
released from the police force
through orders of Mayor C. B. Lam
kin Monday night.
In a statement made this morn

but that he met with no success.
"I was informed a week ago" said
Wertz, "that my resignation from
the force would be acceptable. This
I declined to sign, as had no rea-
son for so doing. went to Mayor
Lamkin and asked him the reasons
for the resignation. He told me that
pressure had been brought 70 bear
from outside sources, and that he
had become tired of receiving the
continued complaints. AS to my work
Mayor Lamkin stated that IT was in
no way criticized and that as far as
he knew there were no Complaints

performed my duties as NIGHT off,

derstand the order. could not get
any satisfaction from the mayor"
Wertz has been a member Of the
police force for more than a year
and from all accounts has performed
his duties in a very satisfactory
manner. Men who have occasion tc
be out long after a majority of c'ti'
zens have retired for the night, have
always seen Wertz on duty. Rall
road men, those who return from
various dances, and hunters Leaving
the city at an early hour, have al
noticed this, and have commented a
various times upon his presence.
Every effort was made today tt
reach Mayor Lamkin in order that
in all justice statement might b
made by both sides, but the mayo

ing. and did not return to Ashlan'

Morning; Highwaymen Attempt to
Run Bluff on Owner; Auto Is Re-

pie returning from the dance at the
fairgrounds, confiscated one OF the
machines, relieved the occupants OF
all cash, watches and jewelry took
their victims to Gold Hill, and
turned them loose to make their way
back to Medford as best they could.
The hold-up was staged by trio
of bandits, who stopped the ma
chimes near the fairgrounds. One
man contributed $120, while the rest
donated less literally. Those in the
three cars were loaded into one ma
chine, a Buick, which was driven by
one of the robbers. When all were
allowed to leave the car at Gold Hill.
the highwaymen continued in the
direction of Grants Pass.
Following the departure of the
machine, the victims started to walk
back towards Medford. A machine
was seen approaching from the
north, and was tagged, One of the
party recognized the machine as his,
the one that had been stolen. The
bandits stepped on it," and disap-
! peared. The machine was found
later in Medford, where 1t had been
abandoned.
Within short time after the
hold-up, special deputies were sta
toned along the highway in various
parts OF the county. Those who re-
turned to Ashland at late hour
were stopped by the officers. and
questioned as to whether or not they
had seen the Buick, it not being
known at the time which direction
had been taken by the bandits In
their escape.

A Notable Gift
Spaulding Japanese Prints Are
Given to Boston

A collection Of 5000 japanese color
prints, which long has been acknowl-
edged as the finest in private hands
that Of William S. Spaulding and his
brother, John T. Spaulding-has just
been given by the two collectors to the
Musuem Of Fine Arts. Boston. In the
announcement contained in the last
bulletin from the museum the writer
TX. To says:
Through the generosity which has
inspired this gift and earlier gifts,
chiefly from DR.. William Sturgis Bjge-
low and DR.. Denman w. Ross, the
museum will hereafter possess a rep
resentation Of this interesting and his
torical branch of Japanese art, prob
ably excelling in artistic value the sum
Of all other similar collections"
A brief account of the inception and
growth OF this great collection also is
given. ut was at the conclusion of a
tour through Japan, in the year 1909
that the Messrs. Spaulding first became
keenly interested in Japanese prints.
In the brief time that remained before
they were to sail for home no attempt
to form collection could be made.
Nevertheless, fine single print by
Hiroshige YVES acquired--the nucleus
of the future great collection.
From that time the enthusiasm Of
