"Economy''-liow 1t Acts I'm Lincoln.
The Garfield street school IS now finished
but of what use is it? During the Demo-
cratic administration the building Of this
school was begun. 1t was not the in
tention of those who saw the necessity OF
another school and who proposed to build
this one, that when IL was finished IL
should remain there unoccupied while tho
other places where the education of the
young is carried on should be crowded SO
that it is almost impossible to accommo-
date the pupils
The men who began the work, intended
that when the bIilding was completed it
should be made useful as well as orna-
mental. II they did not they certainly
would not have spent money SO toolishly
rs to put it into a structure they did not
intend to use.
The reason why the new school house
is not now occupied IA because there is
not money enough TO pay the corps ~
teachers tn at are necessary to take charge
OF the different rooms. The rooms could
easily be filed with pupils much to the
relief of the other schools
The scarcity OF money is due TO the "eco-
nomic" manner in which the money mat
ters Of the town have been managed this
year. AT the appropriation meeting. when
George Il. Grant distinguished himself
by using more words and saying less in
given space Of time, than any other. man
present, the school appropriation was cut
down and the balance with a largo addi-
tion was attached to other appropriations.
The money appropriated for educational
purposes is mainly spent in teachers
salaries and there is not 50 much
opportunity for miscellaneous expenses
rs in other departments. No provision
was made for night schools and the tN-
penses of those had to be taken out of the
general appropriation. Thus handicap
ped from the beginning there is not
enough Of the wherewithal left to pay the
salaries OF any more teachers.
This OF course was done in order to save
the taxpayers money, but the grand total
of money expended will be larger than
that OF last year. Whether the people
will approve of thh kind OF economy re-
remains TO be seen. The demand of the
people is first, last and all the tine, that
Che cductional accommodations shall be
complete. They have nothing in common
with misleading politicians and their false
economy"
