Many practical courses are of fered in the high school.

The junior high schools also carry on work In sewing, cooking, manual training, .muBio, art, physical ed ucation, besides the required cul tural work. The grades do a good, substantial class of work in the fundamental subjects with enough Interest in all other work to make for the best develop ment of the chUd. The public schools of Salem are supported financially by di rect, taxation and by funds from the state, county, by tuition and other sources. It requires a budget of between $200,000 and 4225,000. Of this amount over $100,000 comes from direct tax ation, amounting to about 8 mills on Tvery $1000 of assessed property in the district The county school fund brings $10 for every -child in the district between the ages of four and twenty years. The state school fund brings In $2 for every child. The elemen tary school fund provides from the county about $300 for every elementary or grade teacher em ployed. The district secures from pupils, not residing In the Salem district the actual cost of edu cation, or about $95 a pupil. The fund comes from a tax on prop erty not in a high school district. Nearly one-fourth of the high school pupils are from outside of District No. 24. These pupils come mainly from Polk and Mar ion counties. This fund amounts to over $22,000 a year. There are . smaller sources ot revenue, such as rents from the teachers' cottage and work done by the A continually increasing of mail passes from its amount offices each month.

They are leaders both in athletics and in forenslcs. For the last two years Salem high school students have held the presidency of the student body of the University of Oregon. Last Spring our debaters won the state championship in debate and the permanent possession of the big silver loving cup. The cham pionship has been won three years in six. No other high school in the state has such a record. Salem also last spring won the state essay contest. In football, baseball and basketball Salem was the undisputed champion of the Willamette valley, and had a good claim in each one of these activities for the state champion ship. Careful supervision is given to all work in the schools of the dis trict. It is planned to make every dollar expended produce as big a result as possible. This naturally should go toward better education for the children of Sa lem. ''The Schools Are for the Children," this is our slogan.

ALDEN. Dean of the College or Liberal ArU As has often been said, Wil lamette university is the oldest institution of higher learning west of the Rocky mountains, it han been found, indeed, that with but three small exceptions, all in the state of Missouri, 'Willamette is the oldest institution west of the Mississippi river. It claims as its founder no less distinguished an individual than Reverend Jason Lee, first Protestant minister to the Pacific coast and first min ister of any kind to the Pacific northwest. He came to this coun try when, except for a few whlta trappers and traders, this wholo region was peopled by Indians only. Seeing the great opportun ity and the great need, he re turned to the Atlantic seaboard for help. Receiving considerable finan cial assistance, including a liberal donation from the United States government secret service fund,; he sailed from New York harbor in 1839 with a boatload ot 50 people, including women and chil dren. It was while his good chip, the Lausanne, was in the Atlantic ocean off the coast of Brazil, that this band of missionaries sub scribed $650 for the causeof edu cation in the "foreign" land of Oregon, for which they were sail ing. While it is uncertain whe ther this money was intended to found a school for Indians or whites, we do know that the In dian school, founded soon after their arrival in the vicinity o' Sa lem, was later merged into a school for whites. The old Ore gon Institute, located on the pres ent university campus, across State street from the capitol building was the first school for white children on the Paqif;c coaRt. The date of the founding of Willamette university has been fixed at IS 44. Was Ht-re Before Salem Willamette university was here before there was any town of Sa lem. The Indian village, Chemeketa. was In the vicinity, but it was some years afterward that a num her of white families, having been drawn to this locality by the op portunity of educating their chil dren afforded by the presence ot Willamette university, that tbe white village received the name of Salem. In those sarly days there Ticre no grade or grammar schools ex cept as afforded by the university. Very many of our old settlers re ceived their training in the three R's at that institution. Mr. C. B. Moores of Portland is an example. It is said that he began in te primary department of Willam ette university and continued Ms education through his boyhood and youth within its walls, final ly graduating with the degree of A. B. There are doubtless many fther who knw no other educa tional institutloa of any kind dur ing their school days Has Grown With Salem It can doubtless be said with out fear of successful contradic tion, that the presence of Willam ' ' V 'VI ..I ( The Old Oregon Institute, the first building of Willamette University.

The motto is "Non nobis solum natirsumus," and that is the Latin for "Not for ourselves alone were we born." It is ex pressive of the unselfish devotion, yea the self sacrificing devotion, of the founders of the University, and also of their successors all down through the years, even to the present day. It is a motto that jis having a wider meaning in the wide world than it had in the days when it was lived up to by... the men and women who blazed the trails of civilization in this then wilderness; and it puts into words the spirit that ia destined to make this a constan tly better world as a whole for the entire human family. ette university on its campus in the heart of Salem, has been an influence equalled only by that from the capital itself, in deter mining the character and spirit or our capital, city. The university ever since the infant days of the city, has continued to draw a class of people who have been apprecia tive of public education and of all the higher things for which an intelligent and progressive com munity should stand. Has Helped The City's Growth It might be possible to quote statistics showing the material advantages which have accrued to the city from the presence of money disbursed by the university authorities for salaries, for equip ment and for various administra tive purposes, added to the money spent by students who have com? here from othsr localities, has In the course of the years added tre mendously to the material bener r JASON LEE, Willamette's -founder. Yf v Vm L E 11 THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 2S, 1921 and All A' 1(, fit of the city. The annual bud get for carrying on the university administration has reached nearly $100,000, while the money spent in Salem by the Willamette fac ulty and students is two or three times this sum. A Fine Student Body The student body is drtwn from some of the best homes of Ore gon, Washington and Idaho. While these states furnish most of the students, there is a sprinK ling from many other states and some foreign countries. The reg istrar informs us that there are students for next year now on the way from China and Japan From its early days Willamette university has sent forth men and women who have been promintnt leaders in the councils of our state and nation. W. U. Ranks Hbsh Among Oregon's educational in stitutions, Willamette university ranks very high. The opinion has been expressed by disinterested eastern educators that Willam ette's educational standards are superior to those of any state school or denominational school in Oregon. Her 500 students are about an that she can accommodate satis factorily with her present equip ment. She needs more buildings, particularly a modern gymnasium, to take the place ot one recently burned, and she needs also ad ditional endowment in order to provide for the additional equip ment and teaching force more and more required of all modern col leges. Willamette university, located here before there was a Salem, co-existent with the growth and development of the city, is one of the latter's component parts which is certainly here to stay. As in the past its influence has been nrofound, so for untold genera tions to come Willamette univcr sitv will continue to exercise up lifting and altogether beneficial in'luence upon Oregon's capital city.
