SCHOOL BOND AMENDMENT
All Investment, Not. a Debt
Resolution Adopted by the
School Board of Lafa-
yette Parish.

Viewing the proposed Million
Dollar Bond Issue in aid of the
public schools not as a debt at
all, but in reality a sound and
remunerative investment of the
peoples money by the State in
way that will operate directly
and continuously toward can
ceiling the present bonded in
debtedness of Louisiana by
actively promoting thrift. enter
prise and progress through the
enlightenment and elevation of
the masses as a result of the
stimulating influences of educa-
tiOn. And. knowing that the
public school system of Louis
lana stands in immediate need of
the aid, encouragement and
stimulus contemplated by the
million dollar bond issue, we. as
school officials and as citizens and
tax payers, hereby declare it to
be our honest judgment that the
proposed school bond issue is a
wise and patriotic measure in
the interest of the whole people,
and we earnestly commend the
measure to- the favorable con-
sideratiOn Of the voters of Lafa-
yette parish and of our fellow
citizens in other sections of the
State. We believe that one bird
in the hand is worth two in the
bush-that 1T is a much safer
course for the people to secure
for themselves the great and
immediate benefits assured by
the school bonds now within
their reach than to trust to
promises which may never be
made in the future.
