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

to attend school during the sum

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.

if it fails to outrun
any other make I
AOST motorists know that claims
don't mean much until backed up
by the manufacturers' good faith. So
we say make this test: On one wheel
of your car place a new C-T-C Cord.
At the same time place on the opposite
wheel any other tire of the same size.
Then run them that way. The C-T-C
will outrun the other tire. If it fails
we will give you a new one free'.
This offer is on tires purchased before
September 1, 1925.
We can make this guarantee because
the C-T-C Cord is a tougher, sturdier
tire hand-built for long mileage able
to withstand rougher usuage. C-T-C's
arc made of materials passing the high
est tests for quality. Their heavy super
non-skid tread adds wear and safety !
C-T-C's never have been and never will
be cheapened to meet a price !
You pay nothing extra or
this remarkable guarantee:
Drive up today and let us show
you C-T-C's. We'll issue a numbered
certificate by which you can make
the famous C-T-C tire-against-tire
test. Take advantage of this extra
ordinary guarantee while you're doing
your summer driving. Columbia
