GROWTH OF HIGH SCHOOLS.

News dispatches tell of gradua

There are high school . athletic
teams, high school debating
teams, high school baccalaur
eates, if we may so speak of the
end-year sermons, and the high
school valedictories. Also there
are plans for many new high
schools and for extension of
courses to three and four vears.
All this again brings to mind
the rapid growth in Oregon of
high school work. Nearly sixty
such schools are graduating four-
year classes, and some 150 others
are teachingpreliminary courses.
Ten years ago Oregon had only
five high schools at Portland, are three "schools.
Washington, Benton and Curry
and Benton will have sucli a
high school course regularly es
tablished next year with the com
pletion of its new high school
building. Lane County leads
with six high schools, and Yam
hill and.Multnomah follow with
five each, although Multnomah
is first, of course, in number of
four-year schools.
This surprising growth of the
high school idea is one of ihe
notable activities in Oregon. In
ascribing the causes of the move
ment, Professor Lewis R. Alder
man, of the department of edu
cation, University of Oregon, for
merly County School Superin
tendent of Yamhill, writes the
Oregonian:
"I ascribe this wonderful
awakening to these causes: First
abolition by the State University
of the preparatory grades ; second
increase by population from the
Middle States where they are ac
customed to high "schools; third,
activity of teachers' clubs led by
the State Superintendent; fourth
the general upbuilding of the
state."
It is certain that high schools
are multiplying faster than popu
lation, which means that the
number of pupils are increasing
faster than inhabitants. In Port
land, for example, there was one
high school seventeen years ago,
with 350 students and a' school
census of 14,310.' This year there
