In order that (he people of the dis trict may intelligently decide this matter the trustees desire to make a frank and clear statement of our i school system as to income, disburse- ; ments, enrollment and conditions of ; school property. After tiiis statement has been made . the board of trustees do not feel that it ic incumbent uDon them to make | any further effort to press the issue ; for this increase, which should be , I a matter of common interest. The school system should be of vital I interest to every citizen. Every city is known by its churches, its city ; I. government and its educational insti tutions. While we may differ in our I ideas concerning the management of , the schools and general efficiency of B its instructors, it is well to remember tat these change more or less an p-^!W5iiy, wnne tne scnooi useu is a , * jfixture and a powerful witness as to , the kind of people who make up the 1 city's population. [ We have much to be proud of in our buildings and equipment, but we < also have much to be ashamed of, and the ttoflgs that will later be mention- , 1 ed things that must be changed . 1 if we are true to our graded schools , P which exist for the purpose of giving , j ?? ? ?.. 1 ' uui" uxiiiurexi yrcpaiaiiuu j.ox ute a.nu to instill into them high ideals of i beauty and usefulness. We confident- ( . ly believe that if the repair work we j propose to do was thoroughly investi- j SPted by our peopi they would all cooperate and help raise the extr^ funds. . i . ...( /The additional one mill levy is for , "the purpose of making needed repairs ] I and improvements in the school pro- j ^ertv. It is absolutely necessary to j t install an up-to-date and decent sew-erage system in Boundary Street school. The present old dry surface toilet arrangement is filthy, unsightly, and indecent. This condition mnst be changed. i We urge full investigation by any one inclined to oppose this levy,?and also thos-e "who are helping us in this endeavor to put better conditions around our children. In this same building is a heat- - iing plant that has never given satis-! 1 faction, and it must either be worked j over and made to heat the building j uniformity or it must e btorn out and < a new plant installed. In either case much expense will be involved. i The roofing and other parts of ] Speers Street school building need repair work done at once. : j"~ To show how impractical it is to try j to do all this work with our present income it will be well to review the , financial conditions of/\ie schools as , compared with the necessary ex & pense.

The enrollment for the year just closed is 1227 pupils. The income from all sources is $13,946.55. (This does not take into account $435.40 which was raised by the teachers and pupils for pictures and piano for the High school), but it does cunt $100.00 given us from the State extension fund, and $440.00 received from back taxes apportioned this year. The iDresect salary of the teachers inoluding the superintendent and janitor is $13,087.50 for the year. The total amount of the annual income from all sources is $13,946.55 (our bulletin contains an itemized statement of disbursements.) We desire to call attention to the fact that the total amount received from the special four mill levy is $216.00 less this year than last year. The total income including the back taxes is $95.39 less, and the total enrollment 127 more pupils. It would not have been nossible for us to meet the obligations of the schools had it not been for the $440.00 of- accumulated back taxes that were placed to the credit of the school fund this year. The schools have very little more more money on which to run now thai they had when there was only one graded school. Today we have two additional schools and are doing our share toward West End school. This has made it necessary to employ additional teachers, pay two extra jailors and buy fuel for two more buildi; gs. With all these new and additional Dbligations to meet the board has had to constantly puzzle its brain as to how the yearly expenses oould be met. We have managed to just about make i clean balance each year. But it can readily be seen under these circumstances that it will b" entirely beyond the range of possiu*. y for the board to make the necessary repairs on the various buildings without the aid contemplated under the cne mill levy which the people of the community are to decide. The trustees are thoroughly aliye to the fact -tiat a greater teaching force is baaiy needed at Speers Street school, where Dne teacher has the first and second grades with an enrollment of 54 pupils, and one teacher 'has the third and fourth grades with an enrollment of 10 pupils. Yet what can be done? rhe. High school has three and 2-5 teachers wi^i an enrollment of 110 pupils. Four teachers would give us much more efficient work. Our High school is doing splendid work and ?*e must see to it Thar the relations it has assumed with the various colleges is maintained. We hope to add a musical department to this school next year, and it is also our purpose to add a department of domestic science. Several Df our leading eiiizens have made substantial gifts to this department al?-? >?-> r~l " f"PV?

But with our enrollment increasing every year and our income decreasing it is necessary for us to economize in every way possible to meet present obligations. The one mill levy for two years will net about $3,700.00 after the interest is paid, this will hardly be sufficient to make the necessary repairs to the buildings, and certainly . will not aid the trustees in making the improvements to the system which 0 ? we feel our schools should have. But if our citizens desire part of this levy can be made permanent after two years. The board of trustees cheerfully give their time and study to the progress of the schools, but we feal at the same time that every citizen 1 ought to have the same interest in the welfare of the schools that the board 'has. The trustees, like the 1 teachers, come and go, but the schools 1 with their equipment are here to stay. : Let us all get together and make j the schools what they ought to be, and in the years to come it will make < no difference who your trustees and < teachers are so long as they are good ] and true and able, the schools will i be the pride of our city . i "He who is false to a present duty , breaks a thread in the loom, and will find the flaw when he may have i forgotten the cause." ; J.
