Tho boys' band is furnishing .the music next Friday afternoon for the laying of the cornerstone of the new Shattuck. School. Votes are still pouring in for Miss Myrtle Van Sickle, the School of Trades candidate for the rose queen. The boys all pledged their aid and are certainly living up to the pledge! The boys' band played at the girls' school last Friday evening for an entertainment given in honor of Miss Van Sickle. The band was ready last Tuesday to lend its support to the baseball team at their game with the Franklin High School team, but the game was post poned by one of these too frequent Spring showers which did its best to fit out the diamond for a boat race. Among tho many interesting and clever houses designed by the students in the architectural department there is one which is especially interesting and deserves mention. It is a block of connected homes built on the English style of architecture, with a central heating plant. One of the main fea tures of this group of residences is the garage arrangement. It is situated be neath the central court and is reached by inclines from each corner of the block. . , Wo also have a well-equipped plumb ing department, and the boys have been doing splendid work on several Jobs for the park department.

ABOUT B0 boys assemble each Tues day evening in the assembly hall of the Arleta Grammar School, where they are drilled In military gymnastics by assistant truant officer, Mr. Gil lard. Mr. Gillard offers his services free, and Instructs the boys in boxing. basket' ball. Indoor baseball, and any other sports m season. On certain evenings Strangler Smith, one of Tort land's wrestlers, gives free instructions in wrestling. A shower-bath has been placed in the -basement for the boys. The Parent-Teacher Association has given the young athletes several "feeds" at the community house. This has instilled so much vitality into them that they are now planning several hikes and a minstrel show. These hikes are to be military fashion. Tne boys will Indulge in camp cooking, swimming, rowing, fishing, and any other sport connected with camping out. They will be instructed in the art of scouting, firo making, life sav ing, and any other branch of camping which will be of assistance to them in an emergency. These trips will cost the boys nothing financially. There are no dues, no expenses, and no salaries paid. This method reaches boys who cannot afford clubs and amusement, and who otherwiso would be loafing on the streets or in the pool room. Pro. faulty and smoking are not tolerated The boys are taught chivalry and good morals. There are no, officers in the club. This keeps down party hatred among the boys. Every one is equal.

He displayed butter flies from all over the world and nar rated how some of them were obtained. In his talk he placed most stress on disease-bearing Insects and bugs, and how the study ef them helps to better the welfare of mankind. Stephens school Notes.

How can that be? The Trade S hool Is emi nently the people's school. The hlnh school students repirsent certain districts, while the Trade School is made up from Mudents from every district of Portland. The hiRli t'li"Ol serves ai an open ing throush which, one passes to eol Uite. Throush the Trade School one learns to live and pusses Into life. O. M. Plummer once spoke of the Trade School as the school that lay nearest his heart. It lies nearest the heart of every citi zen of Portland w ho known I ti work that Is being carried on there. Abraham Lincoln tald: "(Joil must have loved the common people, he made so many of them." Now. the peopla of Portland are "Clod's common people." The Trade School is their school; Misj Van Sickle the school's cundi'i.tte. Who could reign with better right?
