New Western Type of School Building
The one-story type Of school build
ing now has been in use for two
years in Portland, Oregon, and has
proved eminenty satisfactory The
one-story building has the advantage
of being safer from fire, more easily
supervised and uieter, besides being
much less expensive. Ample space for
playground purposes is provided for
all elementary schools, except in the
case of few buildings in congested
districts. The streets are roped off
during play hours in these instances.
Domestic science centers have been
established in 81 elementary school
buildings. Hot lunches are served in
six schools at cost of cents for
each child. A report of the United
States Commissioner of Education
shows the high school attendance in
Portland, Oregon to be the largest in
proportion to the number of children
of high school age of any city in the
United States. In 1906 there was one
high school in Portland. with an en-
rollment of 1926. In December, 1916,
there are six regular high schools and
two schools of trades, with a total en-
rollment of $3.50
]. l.. McBrien, School Extension
Agent of the Bureau of Education, in
a circular letter to the schools of this
country. says:
The three states ranking highest in
percentage of daily attendance in the
rural schools are as follows: Oregon,
500; Connecticut. SS4; Massachus-
sets, Sc Oregon has found 9.4 suf-
ficient allowance for all reasonable
absences. What Oregon has done
every other state in the Union can
do if it will.-The Morning Oregonian.

Boys High Graduates Making GOOD
Records.
The students of OglethorIe Univer
sity who are graduates of the Boys
High School of Atlanta, are making
most enviable record. The regis.
trar's report shows that there are
eight or nine men who graduated at
the Boys High in Atlanta and who
entered the freshman class of the &C
edemic department of the university
last fall The recent winter eXamina-
lions have shown up the quality OF in
struction of these men. 1t is a re-
markable fact that of the entire num-
Der not a single one failed to make a
passing mark OF seventy or more in
every study which they pursue. At
least ones of the boys made ninety or
more in every study.
This is most unusual tribute to
the quality of the work by the local
high school. The Oglethorpe boys
from the Atlanta High school have or
ganized a special Boys High Club and
have set their goal the attainment OF
lust such records as the abOve.-The

our lessons in order to do those
things; for if you will notice, it is
nearly always the one who takes the
highest interest in his lessons, who
takes most interest in other things.
If we take a greater interest in
those things we will take more inter
est and be more loyal to our lessons.
We will be more liked by our fellow
students than if we were bOok-worm
and we will get more credit for what
we do.
We should also be loyal to- our
friends, for "a friends should bear a

"Kind hearts are more than coronets
And simple faith than Norman blood y
Our friends have everything to do
with shaping our destinies, They, to
a certain degree, decide our futures
for us, for true, warm friendship can
make a man that will stand the test.
And what after all is religion ex-
cept loyalty to our God?
Last, but not least, we should he

thing to be true, stick to it. Have a

a debate is an echo.
One of his chief characteristics is
a high temper, which he occasionally
displays at an out of town basketball
game, and quite frequently at school,
for instance: When jamie Matthews
defeated his candidate in the recent
Slovenian election.
Possibly Taylors most marked fea-
ture is his mouth, which he displays
to quite an extent-especially when
bored.
He turned over a new leaf at the
beginning of the New Year and has
been to church twice Possibly the
senior members have been working
on him. How could he be otherwise
than changed, living in such an en-
vironment?
All told, he is pessimist. He looks
at the world through a smoked glass
and sees only the hole in the dough
nut. But they say that every cloud
has silver lining" and we belieye
