For the last school year, Salem
had 5148 children of, school age,
and , there were in the public
schools of this city 4399 'pupils.
That is surely a good showing.
' The school census of 1924
showed 2517 boys and 2(5.11 girls,
making the total of 5198, and
there were In attendance in the
public schools 2191 boys and 2208
girls, making a total of 4399. The
girls had the best of it in each case
and one more girl ' would j have
made it 4400 even for school attendance."'-

live outside the district,! in dis

school, and they come to Salem
under the provisions of the' high
school act that requires the coun
ty to pay their tuititon at some
high school since their own dis
tricts do not provide high school
courses.' During the past school
year, a total of $31,542.84 was
earned by, the Salem city schools,
for these outside pupils, j 1

school annex wa-s built last year,
at a roftt of u little less than $100,
hm. .It ' provided 14 new rooms,

and a' splendid new gymnasium,
99x73-feet. The old gymnasium.
In the west annex to the old main
building, was cut up Into six. reci

old building were sacrificed, in
part, by shutting flut . their light

17, rooms, the executive facilities
and the twice-as-large gymnasium.
U" Junior High School,
t There is now under construc
tion, .and.nearing completion, a
new junior high school, to be
known as the J.'h, Parrish junior
high school. This building is lo
cated on. North Capitol street, on
the Pacific highway,' in a splendid
location; adjoining the school ath
letic field. It win-make a fine
appearance, and it will accommo
date about 800 pupils, j - .
It, is being: built at ia cost of
about $225,000, and with the cost
of the grounds and the high school
annex mentioned above I will". take
up the first $320,000 Issue of the
authorized $500,000. -j leaving
$180,000 to provide further fa

may determiine. ; i ;
Will All lie NewledU
. It is plain to be 8eenJthat the
$180,000 will all be needed, and
perhaps more. ' : , - J !
In the high school 'last year
there were 1029 pupils;1 470 boys
and 559 girls. i ;
' In the , junior high .i schools
there were 537 boys and 554 girls,
a total of 1089. That is, in the
7th, 8th and 9th grades. The new
junior high will take the places of (
the Washington and Grant schools
in those grades. But the facili
ties for 800 more, with the Wash
ington school building out of com
mission, will not keep conditions
from being soon again crowded.
Then the high school building,
even with the new annex of last
year, begins to be. crowded for
room again. There will have to be
another annex before long, to keep
up with the growth of the city, i
So it will be seen, that the' school
board has its work, cut out for it,
with the ever increasing popula
tion of the city with every kind
of. economy and ; good i business
management to which it is addictj
ed, and committed. j j
Money from Long Distances.
It . will be interesting to many
Salem readers to know that the
$31,542.84 earned from outsid
pupils the last school : year was
made ; up of considerable sums
from quite long distances.' It comes
from the following counties: Marr

Increas'l Forces.
; Increased forces are constantly
necessary in taking care of the
buildings and property of the Sa
lem school diistrict; and especi
ally .additions to the number of
teachers. There- were 140 teach
ers last year; there will be 150 or
more this year.
There are two librarians, one
for. the high school and the other
for the junior high schools and
grades. The higli school library
now has 3124 books, and the ju
nior high and grade schools 8145.
Practical. Courses Popular.
Last year was; one of the. most
successful 'years of the commerce
department. Many honors were
won by the students in state and
local contests in : commercial edu
cational work. There are "374 stu
dents enrolled in the commercial
courses which is more than 36 per
cent of the entire enrollment of
the high school. Out ot the 205
students finishing high school last
year, ' 52 ' completed the steno
graphic, accounting and salesman
ship courses. An employment bu
reau is conducted j in. the depart
ment which showa jthat up to June
of this year 180 commercial grad
uates of Salem . high school had
secured positions las stenograph
ers, typists, accountants and sales
men. Many are holding, very re
sponsible positions in state offices,
banks, corporations, business
houses and law offices.
In the class of 28 students com
pleting the five semesters work in
bookkeeping and accounting last
year, 13 were granted special cer
tificates for proficiency in' ac
counting having! an average of
95 per cent or above for the last
three semester's work.

steailily - with the junior .high

Forlthe coming year, ai considera

aboijt 50 typewriters- that are
worted In relays from daylight
till jdark; and more will have to
be purchased, to meet the demands
for this practical course."
Living Helpful Life
ilany visitors to Salem wonder
why the schools open so late in
the fall. October 1, when most
schools, east and west,; open early
in September. The fall fruit sea
son, that is pretty weir over by
the first of October, is the explan
ation. There- are few children
past the ages of 10 or 11 years
that do not have some definite
part in the fruit harvest. It gives
them money for .their school
needs; it provides the homes with
fruit and with other' necessities,
.and it starts the habits of Indus
try without' which the; most flow
ery education is only a worthless
gew-gaw. Coupled up with the
increasingly valuable industrial
program of the junior high schools
this urge to the children to help
live the helpful life is a wonder
fully helpful start for: any child.
When it is made, unrespectable to
not work,- the net gain , to society
Is beyond computation.
: They ! Deserve Thanks --
The Salem school directors are
volunteers; they draw no pay for
all: their efforts. To carry on a
year's program of almost micro
