The new Roosevelt school is an exact replica o tho Franklin high school building. It was pointed out by tho school direc tors that the specifications and plans of the Franklin school were used nt n saving over what new ones would have cost. Tho now building will be of 124 rooms and will ho built to accommodate 1200 pupils. Not only will tho new school absorb tho former pu pils of James John high school in at. Johns, but it will likewise ac commodate the surplus from Jef ferson high school mid many from Lincoln high, who will fer ry across at St. Johns from tho west aide of tho river. The en rollment iu James John high school this .year was 400. Jeffer son high school, built to accom modate 1200 pupils, had an at tendance of more than 2000, and it is expected that the entire building will be used to capacity nt its opening. The side walls for tho structure which is of brick construction arc already in and every effort will ho put forth to got tho bund ing finished in time for the open ing day of school. September oth. The grounds contain lfi acres. Fivo acres are taken up by the school building. The 10-acre tract adjoining tho building will he fitted up for an athletic field representing the largest level recreation ground in use by any of the Portland high schools. The new high seiiool building is not located on a paved street and an effort is being made to have the street paved as soon as possible. The figures at the school offices show that there are more than 20 of Portland's school buildings which are not on paved streets, which are said to be a decided disadvantage iu reaching the buildings with any kind of lire machines in case of lire. Tho new Uoosovolt building taking thu place of the James John high school as it does, will not incrcnao tho number of high school buildings iu the city. There arc live of the classicnl high schools, the two polytechnic, schools and the high school of commerce, bringing the total number up to eight.

Ivanhoo 23tf Roosevelt Monument On Tuesday forenoon the David Campbell and the Uoosovolt com mittees mot to discuss tho loca tions o the monuments proposed to soon he dedicated to Campbell nnd Roosevelt, respectively. In asmuch as tho site at 19th and Washington had been chosen by tho Campbell committee months ago, there was strong objection by tho committee to releasing the site for use by tho Koosevclt com mittee. Several sites for tho Koosevclt statue were suggested by those present, among them Mt Tabor, a place on tho Colum bia Highway, Sollwood I'ark and tho park block, tho place selected at first. After a thorough dis cussion Dr. Cou, the donor of tho statue, was asked to state his choice of tho sites, Ho stated that tho site at lUtli and Wash ington npppealcd to him most strongly, hut as the claim of the Campbell committee was prior to any other ho was willing to ac cept that of tho I'ark IMoek pro vided certain shade trees whiqh wore and would continue to be a menace to tho statue could bo re moved. On assurance to Dr. Coo that this could bo done, it was de cided to locate the Roosovelt statue opposite thu hadd school at Jefferson street.
