The officials of the bank invite the public to call and inspect this splendid example of high-class made-in-Oregon school work. The class is now at work on a complete outfit of Mission furniture for the bank. Prof. Barnhart is entitled to much credit for the careful training he has given the class in this work, and the school directors, also, are to be commended for having made it possible for such work to be done in connection with the school. In this connection, it is proper to remind our people that they have a duty to perform at the next school meeting, June 15th, and that is to authorize the directors to erect a suitable building, large enough to provide rooms for the manual training and domestic science classes, and also a gymnasium. There is not sufficient room in the present building for the school work that must be done next year, as it will then be necessary to employ an additional grade teacher. There are other good and sufficient reasons why this matter of a new building should be acted on this year, which will be discussed before the date of the annual meeting.
