SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1925 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON PAGE THREE Anticipating the increase In Intel-eat in boys' and girls' club work In Oregon, not only this yeur but In the years lo come, the slate fair board is witnessing the comple tion on the fair gruunite in Salem of a large and modern building, which will be devoted exclusively to tlio housing of the growing-ups of the state who cumu to the fair, each season, accompanying the ex hiibta which have brought them recognition at county or local fairs. The building, which is of con crete stucco finiyu, 60 by 100 feet and three stories high, is one jf the handsomest on the slate fail grounds. It ia topped with a red title roof, fully equipped with fire escapco and every other modern ism that will protect the liveo and health of the young folk who oc cupy it, as well aa insuring their comfort and well-aeing during the time that they are guests of the state fair board. The m;.in floor features the large assembly hull and dining room, each 30 by 40 feet in dimen sion. The kitchen will be up to the minute in its arrangement, andalso on this main floor will be found tho office of J. E. Calavan, Industrial field worker of the staff of the state department of educa tion. The entire second and third floors will be given over for dor mitory purposes, with lavatories and bath rooms adjoining. Last year saw the greatest de velopment in industrial club work in Oregon, with a record attend. ance of 150 boys and girls at the club camp at the state fair. This yeas officials report increased ac tivities and Interest in the work, so that it is thought that at least 200 youngsters will enjoy the hos pitalities of the fair board when the big event opens on September 28. Aside from the children them selves, and Mr. Calavan, only folk who accompany juvenile exhibi tors will be entitled to the privi leges of the new club building. The exhibits of club work will be shown as heretofore In the old educational building, which will also house all state exhibits, tho, showing to be made by the Oregon , Agricultural college to eclipse any previously attempted by that in-! Btitution. Minor changes and1 nUerntlons in this building will improve the possibilities for larger and more attractive exhibits. Notable changes and Improve ments are underway in the agri cultural pavilion. The principal alteration is the converting of the audtorium, which has always been little less than a waste of much needed space, Into a show place for the textile and art depart ments. This portion of the build ing which is large and adaptable will lend itself well to the require ments of these divlisous of the feminine section of the fair, al lokiug for increased showings as well as more attractive ones. The old textile building will be moved north towards the livestock barns, where its use will be determined later. The section previously util ized as art headquarters in the west wing of the agricultural building will be turned over for the use of county exhibits. More counties than in any year previous will send exhibits to the fair this fall, this ris9 in interest being directly attributed to tho doing away wth competitive scor ing, an elimination which was re quested by the exhibitors them selves last year. County showings henceforth will bo entirely of an advertising nature, the principal crops and projects being shown instead of a heterogenous mixture of everything In general. Talent is talent and mind Is mind, in all its branches. We must despise no sort of talent, they all have their saparate duties and uses, all, the haPPness of man for their object: they ail improve, ex-, alt and gladden life. SUMMER SCHOOL HERE IS CLOSED: The five weeks' Bummer school term of the Salem public schools closed yesterday with a total en rollment of 530 students, taught by 52 Btudcnts teachers just out of Monmouth normal school and supervised by lo critic teachers. The school this summer is con sidered the most successful one staged since the first summer sest sion in 1923. In 1923 there wer 200 students enrolled, in 1924 there were 408. With practically no exceptions every student who began the summer school tins year continued throughout the term without dropping out. The school was staged at the ex pense of the Monmouth normal school and primarily for the pur pose of furnishing practice for the teachers. It is estimated that two- thirds of the pupils were sent to school by their parents without any particular recommendation by school authorities, but merely for the purpose of strengthening their work and keeping them occupied. A few secured double promotions by talcing summer school work. A few others were urged by teachers . WEEKS at RIVOLI Portland SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY GRAND to attend school during the sum mer term in order to keep from being held over in one grade for u second year. There were 40 beginners who had never been to school until this summer. The school policy is to give all beginners an entrance test when they enter school In the fall, and It is expected that next fall the children who had summer school work will make places high er than the others. The Marion county health dem on strntion staff staged examina tions of children, largely for the purpose of instructing the teach ers in health work. The teachers report that the demonstration staff wbb very thorough in its work and that many valuable health facts were learned. There is only one thing worth minding, and that is to bo true and just, and to show charity, of en to the untruo and tho unjust. ELKHORN RESIDENT FOR 35 YEARS IS DEAD Mill City, Or., July 25.
