complete and thrown open to the

Fhe Garfield institute has just
completed, the finishing touch
paving been added the fore part
his week, and the school board is
Spared to say that it excels the
h school building in beauty and
Binary construction. There has
! been an item overlooked toward
king the new school perfect; the
If is composed of metal tiling;
Phearson heating system, which
changes the atmosphere In the room
every seven minutes, has been in
stalled, and there is not a drinking
cup in the building, the drinking
fountain having taken the place of
cups, which renders that part of
the building entirely sanitary and
clean.
The school board is entertaining
fears that the city will realize as
great a congestion of the schools for
the coming year as was the experi
ence met with last year, notwith
standing the erection of the new
building, which is already full to its
capacity. It is believer! that
'he school census for the new year is
completed, mat the numbec of school
children in Salem will agrgegate
4000 pupils, if not a greater num
ber. Last year the census showed
3230 school children. This surpris
ing increase attests the wonderful
growth of Salem within one year, as
it Is an established fact that unless
a city continues to grow, the schools
wil lnot show any increase in attend
ance.
Owing to these conditions the'
school board has appointed W. P.
Babcock, chairman and Directors
Millard and Moores as a special com
mittee to locate a site for a proposed
new school building. The commit
tee will report at the next regular
meeting. It is not known as yet
where the, site will be. but it is
more than likely that the northeast
section of the city will be selected.
The schools at present are beginning
to overflow. The North Salem school
is probably the most congested, that
institution having 50 pupils in some
of the rooms, which Is far above the
average number for a single room.
The school board is determined to
remedy this inconvenience as quickly
as possible, and is standing prepared
to act at the slightest Intimation 'or
probability of a crush for room.

A chapter of the book contains an
account of the visit of Miss Alice

1905. Thlo report of the official re

of a varied nature, reads:

stated at tho dopartmont of justice
that it 1b vory probable that an in

to a billion. dollar corporation..
Some of tho officials prodlut that

If It is truo. ns roported, that tno
