MRS. r. 3. EARSON.

progress of the schools will be badly
crippled next season.
Prof. Putnam, superintendent of the
schools, was seen this morning by q
HERALD reporter and ia regard to the
bond issue, which of course lie heartily
favored by him, he said:
II cannot tell to what use the money
derived from the bond issue will be
put. | have no doubt the tax PAYERS
will support the issuance OF the bonds
because 10 IL of vital importance to the
people. Children Ia all parts OF the
city have been crowded out and are
now shut out from school privileges.
lin case the bonds are issued YOU
will have considerable influence in pro-
vidiog for the disposition OF the fluids,
will you not?".
The appropriation of the money
will be LETT entirely to the
school board; but when the board dis
ousses the matter i will likely he al
lowed 10 express my sentiments on
the question, but how much weight
my Cpl niou will have 1 cannot say"
What would you advise them to do
with the money!"
al would like TO see the second ward
get about &c. 900 for the ere elton of a
new building 90 the seven lots already
purct ased for that purpose.
"a small portion OF the money, say
5000, should go toward making much
needed repairs.
"A new building is badly needed by
the Mexicans. 1t should contain six
or eight rooms and ought to cost $4,000.
1 would advise that IL be an adobe
building.
THE balance of the money | would
like TO see go toward erecting a first
class high school building on one of
the vacant lots north of the track own
ed by the city. The city should be
asked TO donate n lot. Some of the
members of the board sugR ested the
idea aud believe many of
them favor il. 10 Is proposed TO equip
she building solely for high school our
poses, but IL could be used by other
grsdes.
"The purpose of the board in asking
for the bond issue is that every pvrtio1
of the city may get adequate accom-
modstions and that each portion of the
city may have as good buildings as
any other.
GAS an evidence OF the need OF more
buildings there are now more than
dfty pupils awaiting admission to the
schools and, to tell the truth, with but
little prospect of getting in before next
session"
DO you think the proposition to
build a high school will be popular
with the people or not?''
81 do not know, buy l do know that
a handsome high school in a
prominent portion OF the city will be
Of great benefit in more than one wsy.
The object Is to put the building
