he late Rev. J. li. Parrlsh
epoch in the growth of the educa
tional facilities of Salem. For
years Salem, with her eight ele
mentary and four secondary
Rchobs, has held an enviable po
sition as an educational center.
Now with the improvements lately
made on the . senior, high school,
and the erection of a new junior
high school, this position has been
made even more secure.
. Magnificent New Building
Some time ago the growth of
the city, together with unsafe con-
'ditions of one or two of the Junior
high' schools, made necessary 1 the
consideration of the erection of a
new Junior high' school. Less
than a year ago a site was chosen
for the new school on North Cap
itol 'street, and by the opening
date of the present school year
the building was ; ready Idr'occO-
. pancy. It is a beautiful work of
architecture - in Idaho . sandstone.
The building is two stories high,
and has 38 class rooms and a fine
auditorium. . . ' .
