Principal T. E. Wilson of the
Estacada Schools believes that if
you have a commodity to sell
good salesmanship, faith in the
commodity and live advertising,
will sell it.
Mr. Wilson acts as salesman
himself and having the utmost
faith in the educational advan­
tages offered now by the modern
Estacada Schools, uses such ar­
guments as the following in his
advertising: —
“ A man ia paid $1. a day from his
chin down. The rest that he is paid,
he earns from his chin up.”
“ It is a known fact that men are
paid more in proportion for what they
know than for what they do, and for
every $10. that is paid a high priced
man, he gets $9 for what he knows and
$1. for what he does,”
“ Would you rather have the small
expense of a high school education in
your pocket, than to have the money­
making, brain-capital it will put into
your head.”
“ The best time to make a beginning
is now. The “do-it-nows” are always
ahead of the “after-a-whiles” . Don’t
wait — enroll in the high school now.”
Mr. Wilson’s arguments are
not based on high sounding theo­
ries or ethical foundations, but
deal with plain every day facts;
for instance he uses the follow­
ing statistics: — The earnings of
the average trained man, being
a man who has had a high school
education or its equivalent, at
the ages of 30. 40 and 50 years
are $1800., $3500. and $5,000. per
year respectively, as Compared
with earnings of $700., $800. and
$500. for the untrained man the
same ages.
As a result of his work, to­
gether w.ith the attraction of the
new Estacada High School build­
ing. a b a n n e r enrollment is
promised for the 1917-18 season,
with numbers of students from
all nearby sections, including
many new pupils and younger
brothers and sisters of present
and former students.
Several families from outlying
districts are planning to reside in
Estacada this year to facilitate
their children’s schooling. There
are also opportunities for boys
and girl 9 to find homes with Es­
tacada families, in exchange for
their labor for a few hours each
w'eek.
Principal Wilson will
answer inquiries relative to the
latter, as he already has openings
for three boys and can arrange
for girls to do .ight housekeeping.
As an indication of the big en-
rollment expected, the following
is a list of only those who have
made application for enrollment
in the Freshman class of the high
school and as many more are ex­
pected to rejjort later: — Bertha
Devore, Ethel Harkenrider, Al­
bert Hannah, Raymond Lovelace,
Virgil Yonce and Max Sagner of
Estacada; Ray Heiple, Grace Ca­
hill, Jos. Woodle, Perry Murphy,
Naomi Patison, Ethel Munger
and Vesta Van Curen of Eagle
CVeek; Douglas Drill of Cazade­
ro; Lydia Matson, Zeona Coop
and Ralph Wade of Currinsville;
Chas. Hinman, Bruce Randolph
and Anita Kopp of Viola; Adele
Schenk of Springwater and Leila
De Shields and Arthur Duncan of
Garfield.
Worth Randolph of Viola and
Mabel Keller of Springwater will
be additions to the Senior class.
The Eastern Clackamas Coun­
ty Fair board has offered one
day during the fair to the Esta­
cada Schools. The day suggest­
ed is Thursday, Sept. 13, Juve­
nile Day. It has been proposed
that the schools furnish the en­
tertainment. with good speakers,
athletic games and possibly a
special moving picture show in
the new high school building that
evening. It is also likely that
day will be made the final wind­
up of a whirlwind campaign to
register students in the high
school.
Members of the Industrial
Club and Pig Club will meet at
the office in the school building
Saturday evening. Sept. 1st at
8 o’clock to arrange for their
exhibits at the fair.
