THE FIRST THING IN SALEM WAS A
SCHOOL; FOUNDED TO TEACH INDIANS
It'-
That School Developed Into Willamette University, and
Salem, Born an Educational Center, Has Grown as
Such, and Will Continue an Educational Center The
Cradle of. Education for the Whole Northwest Was
Here , ' - , .
i: By CHAS. J. LISLE
The first thing In Salem was
the old Indian school, founded to
teach the natives the ways of the
better- life. They had lired with
out God, without other than the
most primitive arts and practices
that will sustain life'. They lived
fat In the fat years; they starved,
or died, when the years went bad;
for, they diFnot know the hus
banding of resources from the full
to the lean; years. The first In-
' dlan. school was largely industrial.
If made the first principle of the
new j Christianity ; the practice of
the clean faee and the regular
meal and clothing all through the
year. ' ' ij' ' " :" : ' ' ' -
-Salem, founded, steeped In edu
cation, has always been an educa
tional center, j- ,
V; It has had no monopoly of edu
cation. I however; there are more
colleges, academies, universities,
schools, living and dead, in the
Willamette valley, ' than in any
i territory of equal size- in the
. whole world. !
' That's a broad statement; but
It Is believed to be literally, his
torically true. Following the ex-
; ample of 'the first Indian mission
that grew Into Willamette Univer
sity in Salem, the Willamette val
ley has been a seething cradle of
education. It was the home of
tealotg for education;" they -built
colleges 'before they dreamed of
-railroads, of politics,' of foreign
markets. They flocked In here by
ox-team, by sailing vessel, on foot
and on horseback, almost every
caravan with Its own pet college
seed packed in its traveling bag
The colleges were planted almost
s thickly as one would plant
hills of corn. There are literally
scores of such colleges and acad
emies that were founded in the
r Willamette -valley: many of them
finding some of their inspiration
along the long, weary miles of the
Oregon Trail, but every one nour
ished, by the first start as exem
plified In Salem.
' i Cnodle of jKducatkm
r i , .
And so Salem Is the cradle ofi
education for the whole north
west. . Many colleges have, taken
their inspiration from here; have
moved out from the ancestral
rock-a-bys of Willamette univer
sity in Salem, and - have taken
firm root elsewhere In the valley.
Same of them have grown amaz
ingly; the university of Oregon
and the Oregon Agricultural col
. lege are -among the strongest of
their kind in the United. States.
But always the first s art comes
back to Salem as the educational
'center of the northwest.
, The Salem schools have always
been of a high class since the
first days of private subscription
schools before the day of univer
sal education. The state capital
was located here before the Civil
war; Salem was still only a strug
gling little village when the pres
ent capitol building plans were
made. There were pessimists
back in the 70b, who declared
that It was an utter waste,"of mon
ey to build so large a capitol
building; they said that the Mar
ion county court house, a , con
temporaneous structure, was too
large for all the business that the
state of Oregon would ever have.

PACKING GO.
The capitol today isn't one third
large enough jto house all the
state's official business, let alone
all its Institutional activities.
That's one thing that Salem and
-the whole state has learned in the
local school of; experience.
The Salem schools now have an
attendance of more than 4000,
and the district a school popula
tion of more than 5000, between
the ages of four and 20 years.
These are cared for by 10 local
school buildings, one for the high
school proper, and the others for
the lower grades.! The high school
has a clientele of more than 1000.
It will be close to 1100, when the
junior high graduates come in at
mid-year. . . Hi
Junior High Schools
j The adoption or the Junior high
school Is believed to be a great
gain for education. It provides
for the adolescent boy and . girl,
some more, active industrialism
during these active years, and it
also specializes on the social " de
velopment -without which both
boys and girls leave school at the
end of the eighth grade, never to
return. By interesting them in
dustrially "and socially at the end
of the critical year, the Junior
high system carries them across
that dangerous gap, into the high
school proper. Some of the Salem
ninth-grade classes have showed
practically 100 per cent who go to
the high school proper, whereas
up to 50 per cent, especially of
the boys, dropped school at the
end of the eighth grade which
formed the tremendous gap be
tween the common school and -the
high school. j j
Salem has specialized on these
junior high schools, and the re
sult has been amazingly benefici
al. That is perhaps the most dis
tinguishing feature of the elemGB-;
tary school life of the city.
Good Private Schools
There are several Incidental or
private schools in Salem, that con
tribute much toward the educa
tional primacy of the community.
The parochial school has a consid
erable attendance, and is well con
ducted towards' the end of giving
a broad, liberal -schooling. There
are' no kindergarten schools in Sa
lam; rather strangely, too, for the
whole community tendency is to
ward starting fem early and keep
ing "em everlastingly at their
books. But the primary grades
of the public schools take the
children at so tender an age, that
a kindergarten system seems su
perfluous. I
' The Capital Business College
has been a Salem institution for
30 years; most of this time under
the'same management, with Prof.
V. I. Staley at its head. It has
turned out armies Of capable ac
countants and business specialists
who have gone out to conquer the
world of business and of trade.
No school in the northwest stands
higher in point; of achievement.
Business men write or wire in.
"Send me one of your graduates,"
with the assurance that whoever
goes out with the Capital seal of
approval, is competent and safe.

U. Inspected
the school proper has been discon
tinued, though the delightfully lu
dtd series of textbooks that r he
compiled is still being published.
The Influence of his kindly per
sonality and helpful teaching goes
on almost as if he were still pres
ent in the flesh. j
. Thef'e are a number of capable
schools of music in Salem; some
are only private teachers'- efforts,
but others are really competent
musical colleges, qualified to give
certificates. Salem has always
been a musical center, and good
instructors gravitate -here as sol
diers fall into step at the sound
of the bugle or drum. The Apol
lo club, the Willamette May Fes
tival association, the Salem Sym
phony Orchestra, end other local
organizations, are shining lights
in the musical world of the north
west, .
A Great University
Willamette University, of course,
is the one big thing In the Salem
educational system. i It has J no
municipal or state connection, and
is in the financial sense etirely
apart from the public consider
ation. But because it is support
ed so largely by the individual
people of Salem, and because so
many people of Salem are so in
timately connected with it, f by
their own graduation, or that of
their children, it is an integral
part of Salem's history. It gave
i he first direction and tone to the
educational progress of the state;
it has held rigidly to a standard
of high thinking even though
hungry or ragged or ill; and ft is
standing for a high-caste "Salem"
in a million distant places on the
globe where Salem prunes and pa
per and loganberries i and paved
streets are utterly unknown, i "
During the. recent school bond
campaign it was warned that if
the bonds, didn't carry so as to
provide adequate school facilities,
it would become the honorable
duty of the city to frown on a
rising birth rate, and to warn
new-comers not to bring their
children here they might bring
dogs or cats, but there was no
school-room for the "kids." The
bonds were voted by, a huge ma
jority, in the face of this warn
ing; the money is available, and
the first unit of the great con
struction program the high school
annex, is now almost completed.
Because of the excessive cost, a
second unit, the Grant Junior
High school building, was reject
ed. But there is no reason for
the stork to shun Salem, or for
the sign "No Children Allowed,"
to be hung out over the city
gates; there will be room and edu
cational facilities for all.

SALEM AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER
The Salem Slogan pages of last Thursday
stressed the idea that there is business in beauty;
that the "City Beautiful," which is Salem, will be
the city big and prosperous I
j And this week it is just as proper to stress the
idea that there is cash in culture; academic learn
ing is an asset; university urbanity stands for
utility; there is position in polish; success in
schooling
i ' . ,4
And there can be no well rounded growth in
any city not equipped with the best possible edu
cational advantages; scholastic; industrial, com
mercial. .
By these tests, Salem is in the line of growth;
in the track of greatness.
There are many other tests; but these are
among the most important.

DID YOU KNOW That Salem is an educational center of
great and growing importance; that this city is the home
of historic Willamette University, larger now than ever
before, with an addition during the past year of a million
dollars to its endowment fund, $350,000 of which was con
tributed by the General Education Board (Rockefeller),
besides a ojiarter of a million dollars added to its build
ing and other funds; that all our other educational institu
tions are growing substantially; that this city is becoming
widely known as a music center and as such is attracting
students from all over the coast; that we have a splendid
system of public schools, and the people have voted bonds
for $500,000 in order to provide additional buildings and fa
cilities as fast as the growth of the population shall de
mand; and that this growing reputation as an educational
center is one of the great business assets of Salem, which
was born a school town and has made progress as an edu
cational center throughout all its history?
today the business is operated
upon the same principles that
made it the success that it is, and
made, possible its "weatherfng"

the field of education. '" i

Local Institution Fills Place
in Community That Should
Be Much Appreciated
Seventy-two years In the edu
cational field, of which 62 years
has been In' the present building,
is the record of the Sacred Heart
academy which surely entitles the
institution of learning to be class
ed as a .pioneer in the education
al ranks. r
Every branch of learning com
monly covered in the day school
is embodied in the Instruction of
fered, and very exceptional oppor
tunities are offered In many
branches. Those 'who aspire to
be musicians will find that the
courses offered in harp, violin and
cello are second to none in the
valley. ; ' ,
A splendid library of many
thousand volumes is maintained
for ahe use of the students, and
they, are urged at all times to
avail themselves of all the equip
ment on hand. -
Sacred Heart is both a board
ing nnd day school; that is to say,
that it is a, day school for boys
and either a boarding or day
school for girls. Many girls who
otherwise- would have no home to
stay in avail themselves of the
bpportunity to live at the school

ervision of the sisters.
