Mr.. Editor-In your issue OF January
p noticed and read with interest an art
iclc In references to School Dis. %. under
the heading "a Wise Proposition" Now.
Mr.. Editor, think. MS you say, it is a
very wise and also very sensible propo-
siion 10 have n school house of sufficient
capacity TO accommodate comfortably all
the scholars who attend and all those
who are acquainted with the demenlons
of the building in question. and also Of
the number Of scholars who daily attend
said school, will agree that it is very much
ovcrcrowded There Is only one way
open TO my mind: viz:-Buid. But
what, how and where are we going to
build, are the questions that are agitatlng
our minds AT II recent meeting called
for the purpose, il was found that some
were in favor Of disposing of the present
building. which cost something in the
neighborhood of 81 000 for what they can
get, possibly $3.50. and erect II brick school
house at cost of So 900 on the same site
rs the old one now stands. and, for the
purpose of raising funds for The enter
prise, bond the district. Again some
were in favor OF levying II l0-mll tax to
raise the finances
This proposition would be all we'll and
good were it TO be erected. rs it should be.
in the center Of the district which would
be about one mile south of where the
present house now stands Such state
OF affairs would no doubt meet wi the
approval Of all true thinking men But
the north people, rs class, are sci ishly
working to have the new building located
on the old site regardless of the fact that
some OF the children are obliged to 20
over three miles TO school This, Mr..
Editor, is where the sentiments of the
community are divided. Simply in the
matter of location.
A great many, and tn ink the major
ity from the whole district think the
time not yet ripe for building such
structure us the one proposed, and express
themselves MS being in favor of leaving
the old building where it is now and ad-
ding to it a building almost as large as
itself. thereby making two large rooms
sufficient to accommodate all the children
Tor three or four years at least. In which
time the hundreds of acres of land for
sale IN the district will be sold Hence
more scholars more voters and more tax
payers. Unul that day arrives we will
have to be content with the wishes of the
