New schoolHouse AGITATION

Special to Times Republican.
Eagle Grove, Feb. 23.-The board of
education of Eagle Grove has issued a
call to bond the Independent district for
the erection of new high school build
ing. The cali has resulted in contro-
sversy as to whether the money thus
raised had not better be expended in
constructing two school buildings, one
in ward No. ] and the other in ward No
3. for the grades instead of in the erec-
ton OF high school building, The con-
troversy arises principally from a mis-
apprehension on the part of some as to
the organization of graded school. 1t
is hoped that the discussion of the sub
ject may throw new light upon the
matter and bring the patrons to realize
that concentration is by far the most
economical to taxpayers and the most
effective in obtaining the best educa-
rtional results. especially In Eagle Grove
as the conditions exist today.
