The fame of the Scotia, which burned in Bristol Channel this month and was beached at Sully, lay In the
fact that she carried the Scottish national antarctic expedition to the South Polar regions under the comman
of Dr. William S. Bruce, where she carried out some valuable work in co-operation with the English expedi
tion under Captain Scott, and German and Swedish expeditions. Following the ill-fated voyage ol the Titanic
the Scotia was used to carry out ice observations, meteorology and oceanography in the North Atlantic ocean.

KOK HIGH SCHOOL
Editor Tho News:
I respectfully ask space In your
columns to express my jdpas re
garding tho building of a high school,
bollevlng that a free discussion of
this matter shall be of benefit to
the entire community.
Various opinions are held by
those concerned most In this subject,
but there are numerous points upon
which all are agreed. Roseburg
must have an up-to-date new high
school and she must see to It that
it Is frjrady for UBe whon school
opens in September. The people of
Roseburg and vicinity feel the need
of a modern high school with ail
the equipment and conveniences pos
sible. The community should pro
vide a building amid surroundings
which would cause our sons anH
daughters to take pride In the fact
that 'It was their storehouse of
those things, the acquirement of
which fitted them to successfully
combat the world. Since all work
and no play is unpopular generally,
ample- play grounds are a very neces
sary requirement in selecting a loca
tion. All Borts of athletic sports are
Increasing In favor with both sexes
and If we fall to provide for this
feature of school life we Bhall be
called all kinds of ugly names by
this and future, generations of vig
orous youth. If any one holds the
opinion that the boys and girls of
Roseburg, of high school age, dis
like base ball, basket ball, tennis
and numerous other field sports,
just make a few inquiries; then you
can judge how great Is the neces
sity for adqeuate space in which to
enjoy these recreative sports.
Many of the high school students
' today will attend the Agricultural
College at Corvallls later. Tho time
to implant this Idea of making two
blades of grass grow where but one
formerly grew Ib during the high
school age, or even earlier If pos-
. School gadens have proven
successful all over the country, espe
cially around Portland, and by no
means should a site be chosen
whore there Is not sufficient ground
for extensive school gardens. '
Now If you agree with me con
cerning the above, how can the peo
pie of this vicinity build a $75,000
school building upon the site of tbe
Lane school and provide sufficient
space for gardens and athletics? The
only objection that I have ever heard
to larger school grounds has been
the additional cost for some. This
objection must now drop, for today
I am reliably Informed that a lead
ing citizen offers a tract of four
acres, within fifteen minutes walk
of the postofflce, admirably situat
ed for high school purposes, free of
cost to the people of this district
Mr. A. J. Bellows 1b the man will
ing to donate so liberally toward
the plan of a modern high school
with plenty of outdoor room. Mr.
Bellows owns quite a tract of tand
on the west side and Is willing that
the four acres best suited for the
purpose be selected. Any man who

has the slightest Imagination can
perceive, after viewing this property,
how easily this ground can be used
in making the new high school a
place of beauty.
If we accept this generous offer,
the Lane school Bite could be sold
and the proceeds used In additional
conveniences tor the new school or
tbe property could be retained for
graded school, although there are
many who do not think the location
suitable for school use,
Our city is growing and if the
great things which we are looking
forward to are realized It is neces
sary that those interested in school
matters select a site for the new
school where students may be freo'
of the disturbances so frequent In )
city streets. A school located on the
best adapted four acres of the Bel
lows tract would have all the beauty
and charm of college grounds and
yet be easily accessible to every one
In tho district.
I hope that this matter will have
the consideration of all those who
are to vote on the new school, and
that a free discussion of the matter
will ensue. If there are bettor lo
cations to be had or as good at low
er rates we should be apprised of
the facts In the matter. (
Very respectfully,
FOSTER BUTNER. j
