THEY call It classical In struc
ture, and it covers almost eight
acres of Portland real estate. A
myriad of windows and skylights twin
kle from their setting of rough, red
brick with an Infinite tracery of white
mortar. The entrance faces west, gar
risoned by great pillars and 6ix boys
at their tasks are carved in stone above
the portal.
Through, those doors, -when the Fall I
term begins on Tuesday, will march a
student body that is tx graduate for I
tne service of the commonwealth, i
They will be classmates In forge and
foundry, and tue varied crafts that
make tlie world a pleasant place to
live in will be open bouks to them.
The new Benson Polytechnic School,
erected and equipped at a cost of more
than J250.000. is not a trade school.
It is practically a technical high
, echool, affording a technical course of
four years, with sufficient academic
work to provide the college entrance
requirements for engineering- courses
at the Oregon Agricultural College.'
Buildings Cover Much Space.
From Bast Twelfth to Fifteenth
rtreets, and from GHsan to Irving, run
Its bounds, and the central buildings.
Judged by ordinary standards of school
atructure. are amazing in their ordered
and competent immensity. The struc
ture stands on its six-block plot with
a. certain air of sturdy assurance in
the permanency of itself and its work.
There was a trade school in Port
land not so very long ago and be
cause the importance of technical
training had grown great with the
tasks before it, S. Benson, of Portland,
volunteered to match $100,000 of the
district's money with an equal amount
of his own for the foundation of a
echool that might take up a broader
and more constructive work.
The offer was accepted. One year
ago the first brick snuggled against
the foundation of the Benson Poiy
v technic that was to be. Ask the work
men, who are rushing their tasks of
installation and interior finishing. If
the school will be ready for classes
next week and they will smile
tolerantly.
"Of course we're ready," objects the
omnipresent principal, C. E. Cleveland.
"There are a few odd jobs left, but
this is a trade school, isn't it?"
The general office of the school,
tohich Is in the administration build
ing, is similar to that of the Franklin
High School, and is connected with the
private office of Principal Cleveland.
As everywhere in the model buildings,
-the doors are severely plain and dis
couraging to dust.
Student to Know "Why."
Tn the science lecture room the stu
dents of technical courses will be In
structed in the actual relation of their
academic studies with the interesting
tasks of the shops. None will work
blindly or at random, for the first
principle of the course is that all
shall know "why."
In addition the administration build
ing houses the science laboratory. stand
ardized high-school classrooms and a li
brary with windows that show the long
sweep of the hills beyond the river. It
is in these classrooms that the students,
who troop to their books and lectures
direct from the clangor of the shops.
will learn to link their studies with
their tasks, and will revive the neces
sary academic instruction
Yet. when one leaves the administra
tion building, he need not fear the
weather on his way, for each building
of the technical knowledge plant is
reached by a single corridor of such
length that It dwindles Into distance.
You pass to the boiler-house and heat
ing plant, and to the engine-room,
where- the huge 300-horsepower giant
awaits his orders. All is for the twin
purpose of utility and instruction, and
though the school will purchase a cer
tain amount of power It Is equipped to
generate electricity for most of its
'load."
Supply Room la Central.
There Is a central supply room, very
business-like in appearance and ar
rangement. and through its wickets
will pass the various supplies and tools
utilized by students in the shops,

The machine shop and Its equipment
are modern in every detail, and not a
few items of the machinery were con
structed by students at the old school.
Six drill presses, a portable crane, an
arbor press and other equipment are
of student manufacture, while drill
presses have been manufactured for
other schools of the district.
A new department of the echool is
the gas engine shop, where two auto
mobiles, purchased at a fire bargain,
are on hand for experimental work.
In this shop, as in all others, the in
stallation of machinery waa made by
student workmen.
Plumbing; Shop Complete.
Traveling thus far down the dwin
dling corridor with frequent excursions
aside, the visitor has beheld but half
the big plant. There yet remains the
blacksmith shop, the foundry, with its
mighty electric crane, and the plumbing
shop. This last will provide a course
no less practical than the others, and
students in the shop will actually plan
and construct complete plumbing sys
tems.

sawdust about them, other students
will manufacture most of the perma

No item of wooden equipment or of

school to turn its own labors to the

of toll and study that lighten the task
by half, have been heeded to a whisper
in every department of the school, and
the class and workrooms are absolute
models in their appointments and con
struction. Many a private industry,
specializing in the various works that
students of the Benson Polytechnic
will take up, must own that it lacks
the abundance of facilities .and equip
ment that are supplied in Portland's
newest school.
Many Courses Offered.
Courses are offered in pattern-making,
cabinet-making, carpentry, ma
chine shop, machine blacksmithing,
tool-making,' electric construction,
plumbing and gasf'tting, mechanical
and architectural drawing, moulding,
operating engineering, sheet-metal
working, gas engine and automobile
work. Provision has been made for
the future installation of a printing
and bookbinding department.
The academic course provides for
drawing, English, mathematics and
applied science. In the trade courses
two terms' work in physics and two
terms' work in chemistry is required.
In the technical course the worlt In
science extends through the four years
and includes two terms in each of the
following subjects: General science,
physics, chemistry and materials of
construction.
Encompassing and vast as the struc
ture and project may appear, it is but
the fractional part of the ultimate plan,
which calls for 10 units, with an inner
court 150x350, comprising an admin
istration building containing the office,
library and academic classrooms; a
gymnasium containing- locker-rooms,
shower baths and swimming pool; an
auditorium with a Beating capacity of
2000, and a cafeteria in the basement;
two science buildings, which will con

MANHATTAN ENJOYS DAXCES
Cottage Parties and Outings Vie, but
Both Are Successful.
MANHATTAN BEACH, Or., Sept. I.
(Special.) Beach festivities have been
at their, height here during the past
fortnight. Cottage parties have vied
with the outdoor events and both have
been numerous and successful.
- One of the recent affairs was a musi
cal programme on Monday night. A. R.
Kirkham, of Portland, gave two splen
did solos, "A Long, Long Trail" and
"I Hear You Calling Me." Piano solos
by Caroline McEwen and Miss Ander
son were features of the entertain
ment, while the hits of the evening
were the readings by Mrs. Robinson.
Her dialect stories were hilariously re
ceived. The Manhattan quartet, com
posed of Messrs. Banks, Boubel, Goline
and Kirkham, sang popular airs After
the entertainment the 60 guests re
paired to the beach, where they - all
made merry around a monster bonfire
until a late hour.
At a dance about 40 young people of
the resort were entertained by Mrs.
Elder, the hostess.
William Whelan. of Portland, was at
the beach for a few days.
Mrs. Harry L. Huston and children,

for applied science and chemistry, with
drawing-rooms on the upper floors;
two units of one-story shops, which
will have, in addition to the windows
in the side walls, saw-tooth skylights,
which will provide splendid lighting
and ventilation; two units of two-story
shops, and the central heating plant.
In the temporary assembly hall,
which will seat 600 students, a cafe
teria will be operated by the district,
with a domestic science graduate of the
CI Iris' School of Trades in charge.
Instructor!' Corps Efficient.
The term will open with day classes,
but night classes will be inaugurated
within the month following, and it is
planned to operate the plant at its
study capacity. At least 800 students
could be accommodated, but a smaller
attendance is predicted. Many of the
students of last year have entered the
Industrial field and a large number
have enlisted.
The corps of instructors comprises
24, half of whom are engaged in the
academic course and the remainder in
supervision of the shop work. The lat
ter are expert workmen who have been
recruited directly from foremanshlps la
the trades.
Three new instructors will preside
over various departments. J. R. Stair,
in charge of gas engine work, was
shop superintendent for the Winton
Motor Car Company, at Seattle. Fred
Wahlgren. in charge of the foundry,
was foreman at the Peninsula Iron
Works. Gilbert Drynan, in charge of
the sheet metal shop, was foreman in
the similar department of the Portland
Gas & Coke Company.
C' E. Cleveland, principal of the
Benson Polytechnic, has held that posi
tion for four years. To him, as to the
hundreds of enrolled students, the new
school is a dream that really came true,
and that is fraught with rich promise
for the future.

FISHING IS GOOD AT BAB VIEW
Steady Stream of Visitors Continue
to Patronize Resort.
BAR VIEW. Or., Sept. 1. (Special.)
Bar View visitors are many in number
for this season of the year, and indi
cations are for a steady patronage all
through September. Fishing from the
jetty rocks is still the most popular
pastime, and almost at any time
dozen or more enthusiasts can be seen
lined up with their long bamboo poles.
Some have hooks on the end and fish
for perch, sea trout and other edible
denizens of the deep, while others have
small, round nets, with meat bait, and
each dip into the water brings out from
one to four fine crabs. A great per
cent of the fishing this year is for the
purpose of canning, as almost all the
Summer folks are taking back quan
tities of canned sea food. The cheap
ness and the convenience of conserving
the salmon, crabs and clams is bound
to have an effect on the Winter meat
bills.
Trout fishing in the Miami still holds
good as a premier attraction for the re
sort. On a recent trip, E. P. Marcher,
who is here from Portland for the
Summer, got the limit of 50, a number
of which were around the 12-inch mark.
Mi, and Mrs. N. Rose, and daughter,
of Portland, are guests at the Green
bungalow for a fortnight. They are
ardent fisherfolk and have had ex
ceptional luck with trout in the Miami
River.

land, are In Captain Farley's beautiful
log cabin for a fortnight's vacation.
They came by automobile and are sup
plementing their stay here with fre
quent side trips to points of interest
and appealing fishing streams. Sea
fishing from the nearby jetty is also an
attraction that appeals to the Vogans,
and fresh crabs and perch are no
rarity.
Mr. and Mrs. 'Leon H. Peters and Mr.
and Mrs. H. M. Ramsdell and their
house guest. Mrs. Kathmar, were here
for an enjoyable outing at Camp Car
