1t May Be for the Best.


Let not those who realize the me-
cessity for better accommodations
for our schools, and desire to see the
want supplied, be discouraged by
the defeat of the $4,000 proposition
last week. The result of that cleo
tion may prove to be the seed from
which shall grow such structures as
Will meet popular approval and be
credltable to the town. That elec-
| tfon is not to be taken as indicative
OF an unfriendly spirit towards pub
| lie schools on the part Of our people.
| Many votes were cast against the
proposition by citizens who favored
something better than $4,000 would
provide, and with belief that the
defeat of this proposition was the
first step toward attainment of their
higher ambition. Others voted
against the proposition because
how or where the money was to be
expended some contend ed that por-
tion of the money was to be invested
for site, the ordinance so stating,
while Others believed that nothing
more than an addition to the present
high school building was contem-
plated.
All these differences may be har-
monized, and we trust will be, as an
the election. No one view is to be
contended for as the only right, and
no one condemned as all wrong. In
the near future, not later than next
spring, we hope to see definite plans
formulated for public consideration.
To test the strength of sentiment
on different lines, it is suggested that
two or more plans of action be sub
mitted for consideration. One plan
should be for an entirely new struct-
ure, either on the present high school
site or some other to be designated
in the proposition, at cost not ex-
ceeding $4,000. Another for i'm
provements of present school build
ings and additions thereto, making
them comfortable and as commodious
as necessary for ten or twenty years
to come, at a cost not exceeding
$4,000. such propositions could be
together, and electors
could vote "for S35,000," "for $4,000
or against any bonds" If a MAORI
ty should vote against any bonds, it
would be settled that the people con-
slider present school rooms big
enough and good enough. If the
votes for $4,000 and for $50, 900 togeth-
er are majority, let it be provided
by ordinance that the proposition
shall be adopted, and bonds issued
and work carried out in accordance
for which most votes were cast
Herewith.
Has the school board or any other
citizen IA better suggestion than this
for crystallizing sentiment on some
plan for better school accommoda- |
tions?
