Mrs. Heeler's Address.
Owing to stago fright, I wna unnbto
to glvo my opinion on tho school prop
osition at tho banquet Thursday ov
enlng and, as I am groatly interested
in tho bettor school movomont In our
city, I would like to havo my views
published.
I havo novor owned an anti-public
wolfaro hatchot. This is a froo coun
try as long as wo do not vlolnto tho
laws. I grant ovoryono n right to his
oWn opinion in regard to public af
fairs. May I not bo accorded tho samo
privilege? I very much favor tho
orcctlon of a school buldlng in which
may bo placed manual training, do
mestic sclcnco and athletics, every
thing which will bo for tho develop
ment of tho mental, moral and physi
cal of tho child. I also favor tho con
struction of additional buildings suf
ficient to rcllovo tho congested con
dition now existing in our schools. My
reason for favoring this Is not to
make more places to attract our chil
dren from homo, but to provldo good
places whllo from under tho Influence
of tho parent. It is not for tho pur
poso of having our chidren put In
moro hours of recreation, but that tho
recreation may bo of tho most bene
fit to them. I am not in favor of mak
ing a public social ccntor of our
school building.
Work is not play, but play is work,
but that kind of work which breaks
the monotonous routino in Ufa as
docs tho oasis in tho desert for tho
weary traveler. Wo need re3t, not in
activity and Idleness, but that rest
which is brought about by a change
of occupation. Thorcforo wo havo a
great need of wholesome recreation.
A statement from Superintendent
Tout showed that tho high school la
crowded but in splto of this fact tho
pupils in that department wero doing
excollent work; whllo Jn tho ward
buidlngs half day sessions and base
ment rooms woro resorted to under
which coudltion good work Is abso
lutely Impossible. According to tho
statement given to us from a member
of tho school.board, at present wo nro
not financially ablo to build all wo
need. If it bo impossible to meet all
the. needs of our school children, then
I am in favor of doing Just as much
ns is possible, and do that which is of
tho moat importanco which to my
mind is a building whorebf our young
er children may havo tho privilege of
a full session in tho school room and
well equipped, well ventilated rooms;
therefore, I favor a building which will
shelter our lambs.
But thero Is a way to solve tho prob
lem which will enable us to eventu
ally havo all tho buildings wo need,
fully equipped with sufficient funds
to maintain them. Lot us be a lit
tle moro kind to the assessor. When
ho calls, bo pleasant, Invite him Into
our home, show him our furnituro,
our silver, our diamonds; get out our
automobile, tako him to tho bank,
there unlock our safety deposit box
which contains tho deeds to lands that
wo so proudly boast of to our friends,
tell him of our cattle on a thousand
hills, conildo in him. Ho will keep
tho secret, and when no insists on go
ing, wish him a happy Journey and
safo return to us next year when wo
will havo increased JoyB for him. In
other words, to make a long story
short, and so plain that a "way faring
man though a fool need not err there
in," let us bo decently honest enough
to bo willing to pay a legal tax on tho
property that wo aro fortunate enough
to have under our control; thus tho
problem of means to amply supply tho
need of our children will bo solved.
