ro the Citizens of I
Union School District
Having been honored for a number
)f years as tlte superintendent of your
public schools, and;being in a better
position perhaps than any one else to
know the needs of our schools and
laving a deep interest in our greatest
isset?our boys and girls?I feel that
[ would be derelict to my duty did I
lot inform you of the educational
loeds of our town and community.
Our school board planned for a new
school building several years ago but
it that time our government asked for
;he hearty co-operation of every citisen
to help win the war against Gernany
and her allies.
For lack of school rooms we were
compelled to drop important courses
>f study and our boys and girls did
lot have equal advantages with those
if other communities which had amlie
school room. It was absolutely
lecessary, if we enrolled them at all,
.o place your children in basement
\ oms and literally to pack them in
ither rooms entirely too small with
:oo little ventilation and light for
heir health and comfort; a necessity,
iad it not been a necessity, was a
rime.
Immediately after the close of the
var, labor and material were so high,
:ur board felt it was not wise to try
;o build then as it would have been
mpossible to get value received for
uoney expended.
Our school population was increasng
every year owing to the natural
rvowth of our town and the passage
>f the compulsory attendance law. It
\as necessary to cut olf two recitaion
rooms, intended to be temporary,
Vom our once beautiful high school
mditorium (a necessity which was
ery much deplored) or to rent rooms
ilsewhere which, for many reasons,
vould have been very unsatisfactory.
Before the opening of this session
Ave temporary rooms were added to
he Central school building several
ooms of which were already poorly
ighted and ventilated, electric lights
:eing necessary in daylight. It has
ilso been necessary to cut off a music
oom in one end of the hall and to use
he library for a recitation room for
he commercial studies.
We cannot expect our community to
.row unless we have good schools. A
learby town has recently voted $300,'00
for a new school building, and
nore than a dozen towns in the state
lave in recent years built good school
tuildings. Our boys and girls are as !
>right as those of other towns and I
hould have equal advantages. Our
ichool rating has already been low- i
;red because of the conditions menioned
above and it is absolutely im- <
wjssible, unless we have modern build- J
ng and equipment, to do the best
vork. We cannot afford to deprive
>ur children of that priceless thing
vhich once attained can never be tak
in away from them?an education, j
ind which denied them will handicap
.hem through life.
We now have deposited as a sink- ,
ng fund for our high school bonds
>vet $16,300 in the banks of Union
hawing 6 per cent interest. At the
present valuation of property these
>onds will be retired in five years and
ionce the present levy will be no ;
onger necessary. t
Some of our good friends have be:ome
impatient because the election
vog nnf oq11o/1 oaawav U.? ? ? J A
>.M0 i.w W.11VU ouviici. x iic uvaru II1CI
-o call the election about two months
:go but ascertained that at that time !
>i e-third of the qualified electors had .
lot signed the petitions; hence the pe
utions were sent out again and when
irought in the second time were
becked up carefully with the registration
books and were then found to
contain the names of more than onethird
of the qualified electors. This
odious process of checking was necessary
as the attorneys for bond buy;rs
are very exacting and look carefully
into every detail.
The small tax that will be necessary
to give our children the advantages
they need and are entitled to
vill be insignificant compared with
the enormous advantages gained
hereby.
Every child in the district must go
hroug" the Central or High school
>efore finishing his education. So ev- (
rv citizen within a radius of two
niles of the court house should be
ntensely interested in this very imlortant
matter.
A new building is as much needed
low as when the new High school
milding was erected. The vote for
)onds was then almost unanimous,
nly two votes against bonds. We bei?we
we love our children none the
ess today. Let us go to the polls on
be 27th and help remove the stain of ;
lliteracy now resting on our beloved
itate.
Yours for bettor schools.
Davis Jeffries.
