Bishop Scott School For Boys.

What promises to be the largest
and most complete preparatory
school for boys in the Northwest,
when it is opened for it's first term
September 23rd, 1914, is that of the
Bishop Scott School, situated about
four miles from Yamhill, Oregon, on
the now electrified system of the
Southern Pacific Railroad.
The school estate comprises over
one hundred acres and is owned and
operated under the auspices of the
Episcopal Diocese of Oregon. Fully
one half of the acreage is under cul-
tivation, Gardens, fruit orchards
and one of the largest walnut groves
in Oregon is part of the school es-
tate.
The main school Hall, which will
be finished by July first, is a three
story structure covering ground so
by 120 feet, being made of tile and
concrete and is absolutely fireproof.
1t will cost about $4,000 when fin
ished. The exterior will be finished
in rough cement cast, while the inter
ior will be of mill construction.
On the first floor are the offices,
the lounging room, tie dining room,
study hail. chapel aQd three class
rooms. The second a1d third stories
will contain over sixty sleeping
rooms, and the necessary bathrooms.
The gymnasium, With the usual
complement of lockers. shower baths
and equipment will be located on
the ground floor The kitchen and
servants quarters and rooms for stor-
ing fuel and provisions, also are on
the ground floor.
Some seven or eight other build
ings house the employees of the
grounds and stock farm which is run
in connection with the school.
Considerable interest is attached
to, and much success is assured, from
the fact that Rev. Arthur Henry
Marsh, lately of the National Cathed-
raj School For Boys, Washington, D.
c., will be the Head Master when the
school opens for its Fall term on Sep
tember 23rd, 1914. The courses of
studies will embrace all preparatory
work of the best grammar schools.
The Bishop Scott School will fill
long felt want for an up-to-date and
competent boarding school for boys
in Oregon. The Board of Trustees of
the school are the Right Reverend,
