of the Hisli school ) t-storday atturnoon
The building was thrown open at 1 30 o'clock j
to permit all Interested In thu proposition
to Issue bonds for the erection of a
new High acliool to Inspect the building at
thu top of the hill and learn for themselves
whether a now building was needed or not
At 2 o'clock the meeting In the apsembl )
room wna called to order by 1'rof. Hajden
Short talks wore made by iMembcrs Sims
and Stewart of the Hoard of education nnd
Superintendent Hayden , In which the )
pointed out the Inadequacy and disadvan
tages of the present building and urged the
necessity for n new homo for the High
school.
Mr. Stewart enld the report that ho Is
opposed to thi' erection of a new building
Is not true , on thu contrar ) he Is heartily
In fiuoi of It
Clt ) Trensuier tlrooks Reed spoke against
the proposition , baaing his objections to the
the Issuance of bonda on thu grounds that
the taxes nro nlready too high He pooh-
poohed the statements made that the ascent
of the hill and steps to the school wns
Injurious to the pupil.
William Moore of the school board wns
present and had a scat on the speakers'
platform , but did not mike any remarks
Ho Is and has been for several ) eais
ardently In fnvor of building n new high
school In a more centrally located part ot
the clt ) .
Those who are pushing the bond proposi
tion have Issued a circular showing the
need for n now building and thousand of
copies were distributed over the clt ) ) es-
terda ) . The circular shows how the enrollment - |
rollment of the High school has steadily
Increased for the last ten years and gives i
figures showing this Increase will continue
It then continues ah follows
"The old building has long ago ceased to
meet the needs of the school liver ) nook
and coiner are being used Classes nro
oven reciting in two rooms in the collar ,
with poor light , scanty heat and no venti
lation , a constant threat to the health and
life of the pupils
"It has been necessary to open a room at
the Washington avenue building for the
class that was promoted February C. These
pupils ate crowded out of the High school
for lack of accommodations Within the
next ) ear It will be necessary to provide at
least three rooms for High school pupils
outside of the building
"Giving up rooms In a ward school build
ing for High school pupils will necessitate
the erection of a new building for the
giaded schools. A ward school building to I
receive the overflow would bo enl > a tern- |
pornr ) expedient at best leaving the high j
school problem ns troublesome as eve. As'
the ward schools are now well provl led f' < r ,
\vh ) not spend the mono ) in the erection of
n High school building and BO meet the real
need '
"Tho location ot the present building at
the head of a night of sixty-five steps , and
the only stud ) room being on tu ° thiid
lloor , at the top of a narrow winding itai"-
c-ase of plxt ) steps , ruining the
health of man ) of our students Many pu
pils have already been obliged to withdraw
from school upon phsiclans' orders , and
mnnv more will be compelled to do so , If the
Bihool remains in Its present location.
"Upon investigation the board hns learned
that It will probably cost more to bring the
present slln down to grade than to purchase
n now hite propcrl ) located.
"Our present financial condition will war
rant modest expenditure for a high school
building The proposition submitted to the
people to isHUt bonds In the amount of $6"i -
000 will keep the bonded indebtedntbs ot
the district safely within the constitutional
limit'
U the matis meeting called for 4 o'clock
this afternoon at St John's English Luth
eran church to consider the bond proposition
Drs Bnrstow , Thomea and Hanchott will
