THE MOKKESG OREGONIAN, MOOTAY, FEBRUARY 27, 190o. DISCUSS' THE SITE East Side High-School Question Causes Controversy. AiUMEROUS DIFFERENT VIEWS Some Counsel Abandonment of the Ground Now Owned, While Oth ers Favor Building of New Structure on Property. While the matter of a site for the new East Side High School will not come up for definite action for at least 60 days. J a preliminary discussion will undoubtedly arise at the meeting of the Board of Education tonight. While the taxpayers have voted to bond the district in order to secure funds for the construction of this building, the bonds have not yet been issued and the work of the board tonight will probably consist chiefly in the arrangements for the floating of these bonds. As one member of the board expressed himself, until the bonds are Issued and the funds secured there Is' not much need to worry about a site. Still the matter of a site has even now developed antag onism, and the suggestion that the va cant block at East Thirteenth and East Washington streets, adjoining the old Central School and owned by the district, be utilized has found many supporters and antagonists. Favors Present Site. A large number of taxpayers favor the building of the High School on the prop erty now owned by the district at East Thirteenth and Washington streets on the grounds that there is more than a J sufficient space for it; that It is centrally located and that It would avoid the ne cessity of an expenditure for property. Dr. S. E. Josephi, in favoring this site, said: "The new High School building certain ly ought to be built on the property now owned, that Is, at East Thirteenth and Washington streets. I notice that ob jections have been raised to this site, but they have all simmered down to one of any seriousness. That is. that the close proximity of the new building to the pres ent Hawthorne Grammar School would materially Increase the danger of fire. J cannot see the reason of this objection since there would be at least the width of Washington street, were it extended between the two blocks, and that alone is 60 feet. There would be no greater danger of fire there than that -which ex ists between any of our business blocks, and. in fact, no really greater danger than that which exists in the other school buildings. "Many arguments are to be presented in favor of this site. It Is most centrally located and can be readied from all parts of the city by street-car line. Another great argument is that it hardly scorns advisable to purchase another block when there is one now owned by the district and vacant The proposed site is an ideal one and we shall certainly make a tight for its acceptance." Fenton Favors Site Also. W. D. Fenton is also strongly In favor of this site. He said: "1 think this location is the nearest con tra! point geographically in East Port land and is the most accessible to all car lines. It is ample in size, and when the building is completed there would be an, abundance of space between it and the old Central School. "There would cer tainly be 100 feet clear between the build ings. Under such conditions there would he no more danger from Are than that which exists with the Portland High Schol building. If the interests of the city and the people are to be served it docs not soem advisable to even consider an other site when we have such a ono avail able. "There is everything to be said in favor of this site and nothing against it. To my mind the question is not debatable And we shall certainly insist that this site be selected." Wittenberg Heads Opposition. H. Wittenberg, a momber of the board, is one of the leaders in the opposition to this site. "We do not want to make a mistake in the matter of such a large building; neither should we be asked to make such a mistake. To my mind the selection of the proposed site would be a very great mistake. In the erection of this building we must take into consideration not only present needs, but the future of the city as well, and I do not think it is to the Interest of either the city or the district to place wo buildings la such close prox imity as would occur if the new High school is built on the proposed site. "I am unalterably opposed to this site for many reasons. Chief of these is the extreme danger of fire with two buildings so close together. With the number of pupils which would be in attendance at ex? m scnoois mis menace wouia be a serious one and should not be overlooked. Danger From Disease. H "Then, again, should some contagious disease break out in one school the other must necessarily be closed as wolL Again. the High School will contain what might be called older pupils, and with the younger boys and girls from the Grammar School In practically the same playground. there would necessarily be a large amount of the usual nagging which occurs under such conditions. "I do not believe In bunching public buildings, and 3 think the new one ought to be In a prominent place by itself. To serure this an additional tax of one-fourth f a mill will be more than sufficient, and to a taxpayer paying on $1000 it would mean but 25 cents. This certainly would be no hardship, and it would provide for a High School which would be rendered as safe against dangers as possible and provide a sufficiently large playground for generations to come. The matter of playground Is apparently overlooked bv tbose who favor the block adjacent to the Hawthorne School, but this is a most im portant matter. To build the High School n the proposed site would simply mean aoing away with the playground now thTC. Will Vote Against It. " I am not in favor of placing the two buildings together and will vote against H t me outer end. Of course. If out voted ! will have to accept the situation. bJt I will be on record for all time as 'iing one of thoac who protested against ma King such a mistake. As I say, I shall fight against the ac ccptance of this site for the new build :ng. and shall ask the citizens to thor oughly consider and discuss the matter before taking final action." With such views on both sides of the question, the selection of a site is cer tain to be marked with much contro t ersy. The following letter has been addressed by the Taxpayers' league to the directors of District Xo. J, in connection with the proposed construction of the High School building: Portland, Feb. 25. To the Board of School Director of School Dlrtrict Xo. 1.

MEN ARE YOUNG AT SIXTY Speaker Believes There Is No Clash Between Science and Religion if Each Is Properly Under stood by Men. "Science and Religion" was the topic of Dr. G. C. Cressey before the People's Forum last night In introducing his subject. Dr. Cressey took occasion to re ply to the recent statements of Dr. Will iam Osier regarding the age when men ceased to be useful. The speaker said In this connection: . "The utterances of Dr. Osier regarding the lifetime of man's usefulness are to tally false, and his ideas are not scien tific from any modern point of view. Nowadays people are youngor than ever at 50 and 60 and keep their youth. In all the walks of life the greatest accomplish ments are Invariably due to men beyond the age of limitation as laid down by Dr. Osier. "Mose of the greatest achievements In the military arts in ancient and modern times have been accomplished by men of advanced years. Old Man Forms German Empire. "'The greatest political formation of the 19th century, the German Empire, was effected with the brains of men beyond the age of 60. Longfellow, when 70 years of age, wrote poetry equal to any of his earlier productions. In the ranks of phil osophy wc find James Martineau, when more than SO years old, writing three mammoth philosophical works, which rank with any of the 19th century." a. roceeding to his main subject, Dr. Cressey said in part: "There is no reconciliation between Sci ence and Religion simply because there Is no necessity for It. Both are parts of one harmonious whole, and both are facts. The discord arises only from unwarrant ed inferences and theories which the the ologian advocates concerning science and the scientist concerning" religion. "The Invisible is by all means the most real in the universe. Science leads to the unseen: Its theories concerning the origin of things and the constitution of things are purely metaphysical. The scientific spirit may and often does pervade phil osophy, theology and all branches of knowledge, but science proper ends with the systematized facts of the material world, and the establishment of certain uniform processes so far as observed. These are called 'laws,' but they are pow erless of themselves alone as a legal statute without men behind It. Religious Theory Most Consistent. "The theories of the universe based on the facts of religion arc more consistent, more free from contradictions, and more Inclusive than those based on the facts of physical science. Materialism seeks to explain the world and humanity by ignor ing all the greatest facts in human ex perience. "The atomic theory, even the nebular hypothesis, end in contradictions, which. If found in religious philosophy, would be laughed to scorn. Any explanation of the world which makes the deepest and most ahidlnir of human sentiments mere illu sion of superstition, but Ignores the whole gamut of values which universal human ity assigns to Its experiences may well be rejected almost without argument They issue logically in the blackest pes simism. "Theology, philosophy, science are all kindred, and find their harmony and unity In the tranccendant yet practical thought of the imminent God." Following the address, the usual discus sion was held on the subject matter by the members of the Forum. LEADER HAS QJJIT. (Continued from First Page.) rcct primary law is to apply in the coming city contest "The need of the hour is for clean, earnest, loyal Republicans to get to gether, cast out the boodlers and ro'tnrs. nut ud hich-class men for city offices on a platform of law-en-forcomcnt and endeavor to retrieve the name of the Republican party of Port land and Oregon from the shame brought upon it by the men who have had the party's honors." Amos Is Uncomplimentary. I. II. Amos, chairman of the Prohibi tion State Central Committee, .said: "I doubt If Mr. Matthews' retirement has much effect I do not know the man well enough to know if his statement can be depended upon, but my inference is that anyone connected with the Repub lican machine can hardly be depended upon under any circumstance?. As to a now leader, the politicians arc feeling the pulse of the people. I don't know pf any first-class man who wants the job just now, not, at least, before the grand Jury and the courts get through their good work. There arc lots of substantial cit izens In this town, but thoy have sat like wooden men fn the conventions when Matthews was in control. Men like A. L. Mills and W. M. Iadd arc regarded as among our best citizens, but they arc no better and no worse than Mr. Matthews." John Bain, of the Municipal. Association, gave the following: "1 doubt if it will have any serious effect upon the city cloctiou. I have no personal acquaintance with Mr. Matthews." Political Dodge, He Says. Councilman A. F. Flegel said: "It looks to me like a political dodge. They have got to do some skirmishing now. It's Impossible to get out and stay in at the same time. I doubt if it has any effect upon the city election, for a ood, strong man on an independent ticket is almost inire to win I believe. As to a now leader, I would not be surprised at W. B. Ayer. for he has been back of the throne all the time, and If Matthews is out there will still be Ayer. He is regarded as hav ing as much Influence with Matthews as anyone. In the city." "I believe that Mr. Matthews can be taken at his word. There n plenty of ears No impurity in Pears' Soap. Economical to use. It wears out only for your comfort and cleanliness.
