New School Building
A Great Necessity
Tlioio lire two questions iclatlvo to
i lie proposed high bdiuol bonda Hint
11 tittirnlls Miggcit themselves to tlic
thoughtful voter. Tlioso two questions
nre "Do we need new tmiltll tiji'.'" mul
"Can we iiil'ord to build lit tills time''
i i
The tlrst question icsoUes Itself into a'
.study of present conditions. The'
. building 1ms been used for ninny years
no why will It not meet our needs now? '
llccuuse our K'hool attendance litis
nicie t Iihii doubled in the past ten
years The recitation rooms that wete '
originally built to accomodate twenty
pupils nre now icipiired to hold thirty
to tlfty pupils. This means that theie
can be uo blackboard work at all on
the pait of the pupil. With thirty to
fifty pupils pa:ked luto one loom the
air naturally becomes very foul. All
the rooms are in this condition so that
during the entire school day all the
pupils are coutliied lu rooms that can
not be vetitilated. Ventilation was
not thought ot when this building was
erected atul with the present crowded
condition this is a serious ntttiir.
No teacher can do the best of work
without blaukboauls and pure air. No
pupil can make the best advancement
where the 9iiriouudiugsare detiimeut
al to health and activity. Tills district
has always maintained a high standard
not because some other city is setting
the pace but simply because we believe
iu giving our children a good educa
tion. It matters not what others nre
doing. It would seem fioni the above
that a iibw building is really n great
necessity.
Now as to the second question ''Cnti
we alToid it 7" Is tin1 district nble to
borrow thiity live thousand dollars?
The assessed valuation at present is
five hundred thousand dollriis, this is
one fifth of the actual valuation. The
actual valuation is then two million
live hundred thousand dollars. The
distnet owes twenty live thousand
dollars. Now can it ull'iiid to go into
d -bt to the ixtiir. of thntjllw thous
and dollar".; If a pih.ite ludhidual
was pi sieM'd of two thousand live
lunula 1 diillnrs and he owed ten doll
at s would hf hesitate to but tow ti ur-
teen dollais uiuro if he ically needed
it? 'I ii it is jut the condition of ihe'
dil rut. Hut if the b mil cany the
diMnct will have tiwny jeui- to
pj, oil its fouiteeu doll.us. ,
We need tint building! We cm af
foi 1 to build it! V.ilc for the Moiuls!
