Some Good Reasons Why You Should
Vote for the Special School
Tax in Sinner.
(By Prof. D. NJ. spesr.)

1. Because il is your duty 10
educate your children, and this is
the cheapest way 10 do IL.
2. Sinner should have a good
school, nnd this is the Shortest
road TO it.
3. Because good school in
Sinner will benefit directly or indi-
rectly every Imam, woman and child
in Sinner.
A. Sinner should have not only
a good school, but she should also
have a good school building; one
that she would feel proud OF, and
one that should be All honor to her
citizens.
Parents who desire their sons
and daughters TO be college gradu-
ates or university graduates, should
first of all, make them high school
graduates in their home town, when
it is possible to do so. This can
easily be done in Sinner; provided,
every citizen in Sinner, who is in
terested in the welfare of the rising
generation, viii come forth OH
Tuesday, June 81, 1904, and help
move that Great Educational
Wheel in Sinner, which is being
moved so successfully in nearly
all other Texns towns. If this
Great wheel can be moved in Shi
ner as it is moved in other Texas
cities, it will sur Jly roll out Intel
lectuel Food for the children of
Sinner, and at the same time, make
bothparents and children happy
by keeping them under the same
roof, at the very time, when their
sons al d daughters should be most
carefully watched over.
s. If you desire to make either
a college graduate or university
graduate Of your son or daughter,
it will cost on from $1,000 to
$500 more TO send your son or
daughter to college or university
before taking a high school course
than it would To send him or her
after having taken a high school
course.

stand isolated; that is. they will not be
built against the walls. They will be
lighted from above by skylights so that
visitors will stand in the shadow while
a strong light falls upon the animals.
The floors under the cages will all be
open. and there will be no corners where
dirt or dust can accumulate. Outside
cages are also contemplated for summer
use.
