No Surplus Space Provided
By New School District Units
By FRED ZIMMERMAN
While the Salem school district has made a net gain of 36
classroom units during the past few years, it is apparent that
these additions have provided no more space than is needed
for the present enrollment.
They leave no backlog for the tremendous demands that are
ahead, brought about by reason
of the heavy birth rate that start
ed upward in 1934.
This is the conclusion to be
drawn from a summary of data
relative to Salem school needs
as compiled by the administra
tion. The birth rate between
1935 and 1943 has been respon
sible for an enrollment increase
of 931, the summary points out.
In addition to the 931 increase
occasioned by a rising birth rate,
the district has been compelled
also to provide for all increases
that have come through immi
gration.
"Our present ninth grade en
rollment, exclusive of non-high
pupils, was 528 in October,
1949," the summary sets forth
"These ninth grade children
are largely the product of the
1935 birth year. In that year,
there were only 947 births in
Marion county, and Oregon's
birth rate was then 13.1 chil
dren per 1000 population.
1943 Crop Comes On
"This year's first grade en
rollment as of October was 845
first graders, and these chil
dren are the product of the
1943 birth year in which Marion
county reported 1662 births, and
Oregon reported 19.7 births per
1000. This increase as yet
only slightly on the junior high
and intermediate grade level
and has not yet begun to affect
the senior high school enroll
ments." "It is necessary to constantly
keep in mind that the growth
already tabulated includes only
the births of 1943 or prior to that
year," continues the summary.
"We then can realize that the
building needs ahead must be
in terms of the precipitous
climb in births just ahead. This
climb is indicated by the abrupt

Insurance problems

Question: If we have an acci
dent with our car out on the
highway and we pay to have

New Coaches
Added by SP&S
E. B. Stanton, vice president
and general manager, Spokane,
Portland & Seattle Railway
company, advises that company
has received three new stream
lined coaches to be placed in
service in the regular trains op
erating between Portland and
Spokane.
These cars, which are air-conditioned,
with adjustable type
reclining chairs with sponge
rubber cushions for comfortable
riding day or night, are part of
an order placed three years ago.
During the past week they
have received streamlined
standard sleeping car, which
bears the name "Indian Pass,"
with double bedrooms, duplex
roomettes, and lower and upper
berths. This has been placed in
service in SP&S connection
with the Empire Builder, to op
crate between Portland and
Chicago. Also a new streamlin

"This unprecedented growth
was caused by the combination
o two much publicized factors.
These factors are immigration
to our county and the climbing
birth rate. Birth rate climbed
from 19.7 in 1943 in Oregon, to
25.4 in 1947, and has continued
at 23.3 for the years 1948 and
1949. These facts and others
present us with problems in
school building needs which
merit study and consideration."
The recent building program
has resulted in additional class
rooms at the following build
ings: Bush six, West Salem
eight, Middle Grove one, Swegle
two, Pringle one, Englewood
six, new Washington eight, new
Lincoln eight; Parrish five, sen
ior high three.
However abandonment of the
old Washington building elim
inated eight class rooms while
the gain at Parrish was four be
cause an existing classroom was
taken over for needed corridor
space.
