Citizen writes to 1.-THE News to
complain because the Board of Educa-
ton is moving for the erection of a new
High School. He thinks that Schools
Nos. / n 2 should be rebuilt first.
We cannot exactly agree with him.
that either of these buildings is unsafe,
and though uncomfortable and antique
in many respects they both answer fair
" well the purposes of common schools.
On the contrary, the present High School
IS 50 inconvenient and so preposterously
overcrowded that its efficiency is greatly
impaired. As the school population
grows, more and more children seek adj
mission to 1t, n now efforts nave to be
made to keep down the number who
qualify for admission.
BY building a proper High School on
the site which the city owns for that
purpose, or if there is too much preiu-
dice against that site. why then on some
other equally good one, not only will
the efficiency of this institution be in
creased, but also a large amount of
room viii be afforded for scholars o.
lower grade for the release of the pres
ent High School quarters The project is
a good one. 1t should be favored. AS
9 municipal Improvement. it comes only
second in Importance to the City Hall.
As for the taxpayers, whose sad case
"cftizen'' laments, the reason they are so
badly off in this city is that too little
money has been spent on improvements
Of this kind.
How is property to go up in value in
this city If we are always too stingy to
spend what will make the place habitable
BY up-to-date people?
