NEED FOR MORE GROUND.
FOR ADVANCEMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Usual Knockers Are Abroad With Their
Opposition But Their Character is
Well Known by Public.

We understand that there is some
opposition to giving the school board
full control of what is known as the
fair ground property. Just why we
have not yet learned. The members
Of the school board are particularly
proud of our new school building, in
fact our entire group of school build
ingS, and look forward to the time
when Grand Rapids will be an
educational center. For this purpose
they believe the entire grounds should
be set apart for educational purposes.
1t will be but short while when
more land will be asked for upon
which to erect a Manual Training and
Domestic Science building with the
funds bequeathed by the late j. D.
Witter. 1t may uot be many years
when the county and state may want
site for County Normal Training
Domestic Science, and Agricultural
building. Would it not be fine place
for such an institution? The present
new high school needs an athletic
park for training purposes. This
should be fenced and provided with
seats. 1t should be in control of the
School Board and can be used by the
citizens as we'll. These are some of
the many reasons why the Board have
made a request for the balance of
these grounds.
Is there any good reason why the
demands should not be granted? If
there are we would like to hear them.

OUR TELEPHONE SERVICE.
Many Improvements May Tend to Increase
Rentals

Experience has taught US that with
every increase of business in tele-
phone exchange the larger the expense
is to maintain the plant and give good
service. There are exceptions to all
rules, and the telephone business is an
exception to the rules that govern the
majority Of all other lines Of business.
In the general mercantile business
for instance, the larger their sales the
closer they can afford to sell. The
grocer would rather sell ten barrels of
sugar in one day than to sell the same
amount in ten days. And the reasons
are plain to any one. Where tele-
phone rental is, say $500 per month
for business and S1.00 for residence in
al exchange of from 100 to 200 SUBJ
Scribers, it must be increased from
the time the 400 mark is reached or
sooner. In order to increase the
business from 200 to 400 or more
subscribers it is necessary TO 90 to an
expense that would astOniSh the
average business man. And if an
exchange is only paying expenses and
tritie over it is necessary to borrow
few thousand dollars TO enlarge the
plant, and the trifle that is left over
pay the interest on the borrowed
money. AS the plant is enlarged the
operating, maintenance and extension
expense grows larger, in proportion
with the increase of business. 1t
requires more central Office equipment,
and as rule more room at central,
which means more rent, it requires
more operators, more lincmen, as a
rule collector and bookkeeper and it
costs more to install the business,
because it is necessary to go further
to get the business. And how many
stop and consider that if the service
at $500 per month with 200 subscribers
is worth the money, why isn't it fair
and just, to charge more when the
number of subscribers are doubled?
| The more people you can reach from
your phone, the more valuable the
service is to you.
Think this over and should your
local company decide to advance their
rates, you may lest assured that it is
because it is necessary.

PARENTS CRUEL ACT.
Leaves Baby Alone at Home For Halt Days at
Time

Two of Grand Rapids business men
were in the town of Port Edwards,
about two miles west of NekOoSa, last
week where they had business with
farmer, and called at his home to see
him. They raped at the door and
received no response. Hearing some
noise within, they finally tried the
door, found it unlocked, and walked
in. There they found a little boy,
two and one half years old entirely
alone in the house. They played with
tho child and waited a half hour,
expecting the father or mother to
make their appearance. Neither
parent appearing, they left the house,
went to the nearest neighbOr about
one half mile distant and made in
quiry as to where these people might
be, and mentioned the fact Of having
found the little one alone. They
were told that this was a common
occurrence for the child to be left
alone in the house for half a day at
time. How parents can do this was
g great surprise to these business men,
as it must needs be to everyone else
learning Of these facts. We can
imagine many things that might
happen to this little child in even a
half hour left thus entirely alone.
