That School Building.

Discussion during the past few days
In, revealed the fact that the ARGUS
struck the key note when 1t adyoca
ted the erection Of a larger and bet
t,r school building in Port Townsend
1t does not require any argument IN
these days Of progress AMI int2lIl-
gence to demonstrate that education
is what the country most needs to re
duce its tax levy for furnishing crime
and maintaining paupers; neither do
people have to he told a dozen times
that excellent educational facilities
do more to attract men of capital and
intelligence to town than do all 9th
~ agencies combined People kaOw
this, and will readily admit it yet
the subject is one in which everybody
is interested, and consequently each
citizen waits for another to make
start. Yet all this time men of means
are coming west to locate. Port Town
send is the first growing town reached
on Puget Sound by many Of them.
The first question they ask, perhaps,
is about school privileges. They have
heard that this is country with few
such advantages as they crave for their
children; consequently they desire to
locate in the most favored locality.
II Seattle, Olympia or Tacoma offer
them attractions in this line superior
to those Of Port Townsend, they are
more likely to settle in one of those
towns.
But aside from this, the question
of justice to our own school children
is one that strikes nearest home. The
old building now in use, and called
by courtesy school house, has not
sufficient room, even such as it is, for
the accommodation of those entitled
to the benefits of school money in
this district. When we consider the
probable growth Of the town in the
immo liate future, and the rapidly in
creasing number of children of
school age in this district, action be-
comes imperative.
