New Buildings-and Increasing
Needs Growing Out of City's
Growth Are Causes,
Although the school directors have
had no opportunity to discuss the pros
pective ni-eds of the Portland school
system for the coming year, for present
ation of the budget before the taxpay
ers at the annual meeting sometime in
November, the prospects are that a
slightly Increased tax levy will be asked
'for. WTiat this increase will amount to
is problematical and none of the direc
tors today would venture an opinion be
fore they had consulted on the probable
improvements they would ask for. '
Two new buildings probably will be
nought by the directors to care for the
increasing needs of the school system.
One of these, explained R. L. Sabln,
one of he directors, today, would re
place the old Couch school building,
which has long since been outgrown and
worn out. Mr. Sabln favors abandon
ment of the building, and the purchase
of a new site west and south, covering
a tract 200 by 400 feet, or two city
blocks. He believes the building put up
there should be fully as good as the
Failing building, which cost J130-.000.
He believes the site should not cost
more than $126,0CO.
New Trade School Wanted.
Another building Mr. Sabln wants to
ee built is a new home for the trade
school on the site purchased for it In
1911 Adjoining the Lincoln high school.
This new building, he declared, qhould
be of especially strong construction to
care for the heavy machinery necessary
for the proper development of this fea
ture of the educational system. The
trade school now occupies a building on
Couch street wesf of the armory and
most of the directors arc convinced that
It Is Inadequate for proper training
along industrial lines.
"For the first time In several years,
the district Is now practically 'caught
up' on suburban school buildings," said
Mr. Sabln. "We have been building about
0 rooms a year, but now not more than
eiht or 10 will be required. What the
district needs most now is the replace
ment of the old-fashioned, crowded
buildings in the heart of the city with
modern structures that will allow in
struction according to the advanced
methods now so rapidly developed."
Salaries and expenses of operation of
the schools will be somewhat more this
;esr than last because of the growth
and the addition of new departments.
About the same sum will take care of
the heating and Incidental expenses of
administration.
It is probable that about the same
mourns as last year will be realized from
bonds ajMi premiums, county apportion
ment, delinquent taxes, state apportion
ment and tuition.
Meeting Is In November.
The annual meeting of the taxpayers
will be held sometime In the latter part
t" November. The exact dale has not
in o ilrtiM'iiilnpd unon though It must be
euoo
cluk by December 1.
The directors expect to get together
for consideration of the budget very
soon. The various ideas on school bet
terment will be considered and definite
action taken so the budget may be made

Washington. Sept. 20. Presiden
Samuel Gompers ofjthe American Fed
eration of Labor discussed with much
satisfaction today the results of th

the Washington lobbies.
"The principal result." he said, "has
been the nation wide exposure of th
methods of the National Association of
Manufacturers. The people know now
how it has attempted to suborn con
gressmen, bribe labor leaders and crush
labor.
"Herein lies the difference between
the legislative efforts made by the Na
tlonal Association of Manufacturers and
the friends of labor:
"The National Association of Manu
facturers used corrupt methods for po
I lltically corrupt purposes.
I "The friends of labor used legitimate
methods for legitimate ends the bet
terment of humanity and the protection
of human rights.
"There Is not a thing we advocate
which would not nrotect life llbertv
and health, make better men and worn
en and healthier children and safeguard
workers against too long hours and un
sanitary workshops.
"In the cause of the common uplift
we will continue our activity as long
as a wrong remains to be righted.
"We have done nothing except In the
open. The National Association of
Manufacturers' anti-labor program has
been a perversion of rightful policies
All Its beneficent purposes have been
neglected. All Its efforts were turned
toward fighting labor, Including at
tempts to suborn, buy and corrupt labor

Surgeon Gives Result of Ex

Washington, Sept. 20. About this
time of the year when Little Johnny Is
worrying his parents into producing the
necessary cash for new school books and
Is preparing to take up the "arduous"
task of another nine months of educa
tion, the United States Public Health
service comes along with something
else for Johnny's parents to worry
about. Is Johnny In the pink of health?
is bis school room sanitary? Is John

All of these and other things are

"A clinic solely for school child rAn
where prompt and efficient treatment
may be given without the necessity of
depending on over-crowded hospitals
ana aispensaries.
Seventy-one and seven tenths per cent
of 78.401 children examined In the city
of New York presented' some form of
physical defect or disease requiring
treatment, according to the surgeon.
Out of 710 children examined In Minne
apolis. 461', or 65.1 were defective to
the extent of rcqulrlnr- nv-dlcal treat
