NEW GYMNASIUM TO '
OPEN ON OCTOBER 1:
EQUIPMENT MODERN
Oregon City Ranks Well With
Schools of State in
Athletic Work
Although not quite ready lor occu
pancy, the new gymnasium at the Ore
gon City high school is to be finished
on schedule time and the students who
stare to school thi3 coming Monday
will, by October 1, be using the new
gym and manual training rooms.
The new building, built at a cost of
$32,000, is rapidly nearing completion.
It will give Oregon City one of tho
most modern physical education struc
tures in the state.
The building will house the physi
cal education department and,, th1?
manuel training school. The work
rooms, finishing and drawing rooms
will be in the basement, while the
main floor is occupied by the gymna
sium Floor is Spacious
The building- itself measures 42 hy
100 feet, while the gym floor, ecu
structed of hard maple, isi 42 by 74. At
each end of the gym. are ba'conies,
which will seat approximately 400
people. The shower rooms, and lock
er room are in the basement, stair
ways connecting with the upper floor.
Here also are the offices for the gym
instructors and manual training d
partment.
Luther A. King, who for the past
four years has instructed at the loea
nigh echool, will have charge of thf
physical education and manual train
ing work. More time will this year
be devoted to physical training, am:
intermural athletics will have a large
place in the program. With the add
ed equipment, it will be possible to
provide more games and more diver
sified interests for the students, mi.
King plans to alvide the boys into
three groups, ea,ch group receiving
regular physical training work under
personal instruction once a week. The
other physical training work will con
sist of games ana athletics, conducted
upon a system where all can lake part
and enter into the competition.
"We will in the new building," said
Mr. King, "have excellent equipment.
The Installation of handball courts is
planned, as this form if . athfetics
furnishes exercise and recreation for
a large number, and can as readily be
indulged in by but one or two boys.
For our outdoor athletics, we are
handicapped by the lack of an ade
quate field. Last year baseball arid
football were practically an impossi
bility, and although we may make an
attempt to train a team, all of our
games will have to be piayed away
from home."
Apparatus to be Bought
Some $3,000 is available for the pur
chase of equipment for the new build
ing. A large portion of this will be
spent in the purchase of lockers, but
sufficient apparatus for all practical
purposes will be installed
For the manual training department
which is to be in the basement of tha
new building, there is considerable
equipment on hand. Tools, benches,
and a woodworking lathe are at pres
ent stored in the high school build
ing and will be set up as Hoon as the
new structure is ready for occnjsncy.
The addition of a band saw ti tho
equipment is planned.
Since the passage of the state law.
requiring 100 minutes of physical
training a week from every student
in the high schools, this department
has taken added importance, and th.-j
addition of new equipment has be
come necessary. The Oregon City

work being conducted in thisi field, is
conceeded to rank among the best in
the state.
i
Learning Co-Operation
School children need object lessons and experiences
in the idea of community co-operation, so that they shall
form the habit of taking hold and helping in public
causes.
It is for instance a very useful thing When children
give an entertainment or raise money otherwise, to buy
pictures and statuary to beautify their school rooms, far
better than if the same were given to them. Thus they
see that great improvements can be effected if people
take hold and work together. When they undertake
such enterprises, every child should be taught that he
or she must co-operate in some way, or else one will be
a kind of slacker.
School children ought always to have certain com
munity enterprises that they are carrying on for the good,
of their home city. Making some contribution to home
town progress should become one of the habits of their
life. During the war, they got this idea by selling war
saving stamps, canvassing for liberty bonds, etc. In
many towns they get it now by helping pick up street
litter, by setting out trees on the streets and public parks,
and by assisting to remove rubbish, etc.
They should be made to feel that they must do j
. r .i u .1 -. er . .1 . .1 I
sometning to turtner ail tne community errorts mat tne
older folks are promoting. If a Clean Up Day is being
held, every child should be coached to do something him
self to remove ugly objects and- make a report to the
school of what he did.
Children should be encouraged to study for them- j
selves into the conditions of the city, and to report the
things that they think their home town needs. Some of
their suggestions will be practical and things that the
children can take hold and do themselves. If thev are
encouraged .thus to formulate and carry out plans for I
public improvement as a regular part of their duties as
growing citizens, the habit of co-operation ought to be
come a permanent tendency that will make them good
civic workers when they grow up.

Gardner Still Gone; ' iBank Installs 500
Man Hunt is Waning
MCNEIL'S ISLAND, Wash., Sept. 17
Search for Roy Gardner, escaped
convict on McNeil's island was virtu
ally abandoned ' today when Warden
Thomas Maloney recalled the 40 pris
on guards who have been picketing
and patrolling the interior of the .is
land. Special agents of the Northern Pa
cific railroad are rtill working on tho
theory that the escaped bandit is hid
ing here, but Warden Maloney appar
ently has given up hope of capturing
Gardner at least by the tactics which
afer 12 days, have resulted in complete
failure.
All the warden will say, however, is
that Gardner "might have escaped" to
the mainland during the heavy . fog
that has blanketed this vicinity during
the last two days It is recalled, in
this connection, that the days follow
ing his escape, Gardner might havij
taken advantage if a fog also.
Maloney js still maintaining his wa
ter patrol. Twenty-five guards in 15
rowboats are keeping watch around
the shores of the island.
In the meantime agents of the
Southern Pacific railroad are looking
for Gardner in Oregon and California.
New Deposit Boxes
Five hundred new safety deposit
boxes have been installed by the Ban'
of Oregon City. The bank now has
more than 1200 safety deposit boxes,
which are safeguarded by two large
vaults.
The increased demand for jvault
boxes has made the addition neces
sary, says Percy Caufield, cashier ot
the bank. The local institution now
has one of the largest and most mo
dern safety deposit systems In tho
state. The vaults are equipped with
registering time locks, customer-.'
rooms and numerous other conven
iences and safety devices. A com
plete register is kept, by means' of a
time clock, of all entries and exists
to and from "the vault.

, Motion Picture Production
, The "movies," unknown a quarter of
a century ago, now rank as the fifth
great industry of the United States,
with prospect of growing greater all
the time
When we think of "entering the
movies" we immediately think of act
ing but chances of earning a livelihood
in this line are constantly growing
more slim, while there are a hundred
branches of occupation required in
the producing of moving picture which
offer good salaries; pleasant, intellect
ual work; and chance of rapid rise
for one of real ability.
In most of these positions advance
ment comes form some ordinary posi-
tion where one has a chance to show
talent, which is eagerly sought for and
readily utilized as the uses which can
be made of it are so various.
Women's help and viewpoint and
suggestions are as greatly needed in
the motion picture industry as man s
and salaries are generally equal.
The business department demands
the usual stenographers, office girl3,
and book-keepers. There is the read
ing, judging, editing, re-writing, cor
recting, naming etc of each play. This
is done by literary people receiving a
hundred or several hundred dollars a
week. The director is a very important
person and might as well be a woman
as a man, altho there are few women
directors to date. A good director is
hard to find but it is not impossible to
learn to be a director. It is to
learned by working with a director
as assistant. Directors may make a
thousand dollars a week.
The person who chooses the cast is
an important person whose judgement
must be excellent. This is a native gift
and may be performed by man or wo- j
man or, as one is, a young girl. '
The choosing of the rooms, the mak-
ng the scenery, the backgrounds, etc,
s a business of itself and requires
skill in "interior decorating, manag
ing the carpentry end of it, as well as
lookine after the scenery, it Is also
skilled work and well paid.
After the pictures are taken they
re cut, arranged and rearranged and
worked over by people whose judge
ment is trained for it. It is generally
edited and named at the last by very
high paid workers.
Among the motion picture workers
are all grades from the unskilled man
ual workers, to the experienced and
tested ones who draw princely sal
aries. The pay envelope depends en
tirely upon one's ability. One beauty
of this business is that one gets a
chance in it to show his ability and it
is soon detected and appreciated for
motion picture workers are always
looking for something new and ad
vanced. Training in nearly all branches of
this work comes from the work itself
and highly paid workers have served
an apprenticeship which fitted them
for the work they are doing.
As to the moral side of It it is like
any other business; but being away
from home and among young workers
perhaps the atmosphere Js a little
more lax than in many communities.
However there is no reason why an
earnest, determined girt may not pre
serve the highes character.
