In the presence of between 1,000
and 1,500 people, the corner-stone
or the new $53,000 high school
building of North Bend was formal
ly laid yesterday afternoon. The
weather was Ideal, glorious sunshine
and balmy air being In keeping with
the spirit of those who participated
in the event and aided In Its recogni
tion as one of the big things In the
city's history.
The afternoon was generally re
cognized as a holiday In North Bend,
most of the business houses being
closed and all who could possibly
get away lending their presence at
tho grounds. The North Bend
Btables through T. W. Rennle estab
lished a free bus line between the
city an'd the new school grounds and
accommodated a large number.
Abraham Van ZUe, chairman of
tho North Bend school board, pres
ided during the ceremonies and the

? cat "boost foi I ho heal possible edilca-
tional facilities. He not only urged
I It from a moral standpoint, but used
I as an effective argument that it paid
from a commercial standpoint, show-
Ing that tho better educated tho
masses are, the moro they can prod
uco by utilizing moro thoroughly- tho
known resources nnd developing new
ones, It W&s a straight heart to
heart talk from a business man who
had learned by practical experience
what he was talking about and sel
dom has a speaker held an audience,
especially one with so many young
people In it, as closely as did Mr.
Kvans. No greater tribute of appre
ciation of a spenker's remarks could
bo given than tho close attention
given Mr. Evans.
County Superintendent Bunch
indulged In a brief history of educa
tion In Coos county, tracing Its devel
opment and showing how much the
installation of ono of tho finest and
most modern high schools in tho
country means to this entire section.
IIo paid a handsome tribute to tho
pooplo of North Bend generally and
I especially to Superintendent Raab
E and tho school board for tho progres
sive spirit shown in securing tho
.institution which will bo n monu
ment and a credit to all of Coos
ft county as well as North Bond.
Supt. i A. uomon oi Munmuuiu,
f spoko especially of high school dev
elopment In Coos county. Ho said
that Marshflold had introduced tho
first high school, tho course of which
was two years. Then North Bond
-nit In tho full four-year high school
course. Superintendent
lioluted out tho necessity of having
good high Bchools in this section be
cause so many young folks have to
depend practically entirely on their
homo schools for all tho education
that they will get in a llfotlmo. Tho
Introduction of manual training and
domestic science will bo especially
beneficial along this lino.
Superintendent Raab's talk was
dovotod 'to a description of tho now
building and an explanation of tho
-courses and tho work it would ponult
being done In tho public
if' schools. Tho fact that tho gonoral
'' plan for tho building having beon
devlsod by him from tho Ideas that
Jio had gntharod In yours of school
work onablod him to present a gra
phic description of the new high
school. At times, he grew enthu
siastic as he dwelt on the happy rea
lization of his hopes' as well as the
hopes of the people.
The Cornerstone.
W. P. Evans then took charge, the
program preliminary to the actual
laying of the cornerstone having
been completed. The various ar
ticles which were to be placed In
the cornerstone were placed In the
box. They Included histories of the
church and civic organizations of
North Bend, a complete roster of the
students of the North Bend schools
on which each student having signed
his or her own name, and a com
plete history of tho educational Insti
tutions of North Bend, which had
been prepared by Miss H. Josephine
Griffin, principal of the North Bend
High School.
Mr. Evans then Introduced Major
L. D. Kinney who was to lay the cor
nerstone. Mr. Kinney preceded the
action by an eloquent address, telling
how the event marked the realiza
tion of one of, the hopes he has long
entertained of the great future of
North Bend and Coos Bay. He said
the thought that he had been able
to do a little towards the securing
of the new school by contributing
the site afforded him much pleasure.
Then the two-foot cube of Coos Bay
sandstone was swung Into place and
the ceremonies ended.
The musical numbers during the
afternoon were very good, especially
tho selections by the High School
Girls' Glee In which there are sixteen
voices. The High School male quar
tette was also roundly applauded.
All In all, It was of the greatest
and most -successful events of the
kind In the county and undoubtedly
the greatest of the kind In Coos
county's educational history.
