' The Medford school system during the years of its existence has been under the ad- ministration of many boards of education, but it has enjoyed the direction of none that has been more progressive, more business-like, or that has functioned more smoothly and efficiently than the one which directs its destiny at the present time. This board has been faced with the problem of caring for a school system that has grown twenty- five percent in two years. Taking the high school alone the average daily attendance within the past twelve months has increased 111 over that of the same time one year ago. The board has met the situation in a very able manner and has enjoyed the whole hearted support of the community in doing it. -. Probably the outstanding achievements requiring mention are the completion of two units of a thoroughly modern high school at a cost of Y5185,000, a manual arts building, and the establishment of a junior high school.
