That the present Shattuck School building will be made into a commer cial high school as soon as the new Shattuck School is finished and occu pied was .indicated by members of the bchool Board yesterday during a dis cussion of mean for expanding the work of the night schools. "It is high time that our publio schools competed in the field of the business colleges," declared Dr. Som mer. "There Is absolutely no reason why we cannot establish the best com mercial business school in Portland. "I s.m told by the school architect that, by an expenditure of 15000 or J6000, we can remodel the present Shattuck building bo as to fit it ad mirably for a eommercial high school Immediately that it is available we should conduct commercial and busi ness studies. In order to accommodate persons of all ages and of all walks of life we could operate the classes from 9 A. M. until 6 P. M. and from 7:30 until 9 P. M," "I am much in favor of the exten sion of the night school system," said Dr, Alan Welch Smith, the new Board member. "Many compliments are heard every day for the night schools. The fellow, already established in life, who is ambitious enough to want to study some more ought to be provided for by the public. Many go to work before getting the advantages of a high schoo," education, but later on they discover that they want such practical work as bookkeeping an. shorthand, and they should be encouraged." Beginning October 1!, night schools will be conducted until April 30. Last year 4S00 attended the night schools a against 1500 the year pre vious, v .

BOY HELD TRESPASSER DRIVER DEEBACH CENSURED FOR SPEEDWAY TRAGEDY. Jury Finds Victim Had No Business In Pits, but Machine Han, Upon Them at Dangerous Speed. Walter McKay, who was killed dur ing the automobile races at the Rose City speeday last Sunday, was a tres passer in the repair pits, according to the verdict of the Coroner's Jury yes terday. The Jury further found that 11, p. Deebach, the driver of the car that struck the boy, entered the pit at a dangerous and reckless speed. The jurors were R. L. Macken, T. C. Bowen, B, A. Baynard, Frank Slick, Ed M. Martina and Victor Olsen. Testimony showed that McKay was standing in the repair pit, where only the police, special officers, race officials and the mechanicians were allowed. The witnesses- said Deebach evident ly was trying hard to gain second place in the nearly finished race and dashed Into the pit for repairs at a speed estimated at from 16 to 30 miles an hour. The boy was caught between Deebach's machine and anotner ma chine standing in the pit. Tntimonv showed that the police and the race officials had repeatedly warned the spectators out of the pit. Waltiir Giffard. automooue eauor oi The Oregonian, told of his view of the accident from the timers' stand, where he was officiating as a timer. He said that Deebach was going at such a rate of speed when he entered the pits that he probably could not have stopped at the pit assigned to him. McKay, he said, had been warned out and should not have been in the pits at all. Other witnesses stories were bud- stantially the same.

Adv. - If a comprehensive working plan sub mitted to the School Board yesterday bv Superintendent Alderman is ulti mately adopted, Portland will have con tinuous schools along the lines of the German system. Two plans were offered, one calling for practically continuous school of 48 weeks and the other for 200 days of school as now in vogue, witn certain modifications calculated to provide greater efficiency. Under the first plan the entire year would be divided Into-four terms of 68, 53, 65 and 60 days, respectively, be ginning September 14 and ending August 20, 1915. This would Include 48 weeks of school out of a possible 52 and would virtually make the pres ent separate Summer school programme a definite part cf the regular school system. It would permit each teacher to take a vacation whenever they might eleot and allow the parents the right to draw their children for a vacation at any time that suited their convenience. The schedule school work would be dis tinctly divided between the four terms, having .-. tjtal of 231 Bohool days. "Under this system we could arrive at a fuller utilization of the expensive school buildings and we would not need so many rooms to accommodate the entire lot of pupils," said Superintend ent Alderman yesterday in support of his recommendation. "This system can be administered during the coming year at slight, if any, increase over the ex pense of the present system. "The recommendation appeals to me strongly, but 'we must -ememoer tnat it HusrKests a decided innovation, and I think we should weigh It carefully before we adopt it," said plrector Som mer. The other Directors agreed with Dr. Sommer and the matter was deferred. Director Plummer, in supporting the general Idea, quoted om the district superintendent of the Now York schools, who said that continuous schools would have to be adopted be fore long. The other plan suggests a modifica tion of the present school calendar, whereby all of the holiday are marked o that the teachers will not be paid for services en certain days which they did not work. At present they are hired for ten months, irrespective of how many days they work. Under this calendar the first term will have 98 days of work and four hol idays and the second term 95 days of work and five holidays, making 300 week days during the two terms. If this two-term rystem Is adopted in place of the suggested four-term con tinuous school system, the Fall term of school .will open September 14, the date already set for the opening, ttnd close June 20 instead of August 20, as suggested under the continuous school plan.

NOMINATIONS IN JTJVENILB) ELEC TION CLOSB NEXT WEDNESDAY. Fourteen Candidates New Are la Field. All Hustling; for Votes Many More Are Expected During Week. At the request of many keenly in terested boys and girls of several of the public schools who yet have not had time to decide upon candidates for Junior government offices, the nomina tions will not be closed tomorrow, as previously announced, but will be kept open until Wednesday of next week. By that time all schools, fraternal or ganizations, business houses and clubs must have their candidates entered. There now are 14 candidates in the field, including three girls, and all are out electioneering energetically, hop ing to pile up a goodly number of votes for a running start ahead of the late comers. The 40 ballot boxes, scattered through the down-town district and in the suburbs, are centers of interest, with excited boys and girls hovering about them, much engrossed in "poli tics." Votes are one cent each, and the candidates are garnering in small change from relatives and friends. Many of them have Juvenile "cam paign managers," and are out combing the city for stray pennies, nickels, dimes and Quarters. The money will be used to help meet the annual pay ment due on the mortgaged News boys' Home at First and Hall streets. The Junior government has been closely allied with the Newsboys' Home, both having been organised three years ago. The clubhouse has been the seat of the juvenile government, and the wholesome influences of both organiza tions have done a great deal to lessen juvenile gambling, stealing and other vices. Candidates and their friends may vote when they like and as often as they have pennies. The election will close on Saturday, July II- BRIDGE .CASE COMING UP Legality of Bond Issue for Interstate Viaduct to Be Settled. The interstate bridge case will be set for argument in the Supreme Court probably within the next ten days. District Attorney Evans yesterday filed his brief in the case and the plaintiff's brief already has been filed. Both sides petitioned an early hearing on account of the importance of the case te the public and the delay in the construction of the bridge over the Columbia River. The suit is a friendly one in equity, brought to enjoin the County Commis sioners and Multnomah County. It is brought by T. M. Stop!enbach on the contention that the assumption of the county debt by the state is illegal, because the state pays the county an nually the amount of interest eq the outstanding bonds, the county pays the amount of the principal when the bonds mature and the state acquires the. bridge, , The state theory is that the matter 1 simply a contract between the coun ty and the state whereby the eounty builds the bridge for the state.' iODLnli SCHOOL B BLUE RIBBON Judges Bouquet and Maris End Arduous Task or Inspect ing 43 City Gardens.
