Carson is the CT Dieal city of t.:
State. She is a home confer fer sew.
eral thousand reop!c; she has I,
bright future and nearly eTeryoee It
present hopes to re1b9:, "a eGaitaty.
This being the ca~G ia DIV of1cnrg
subject to the condition should he
made. At present the city beasts Of
the worst apology foI Il high school in
the State. It IS 2 rictetv cd wccden
hull and one that threatens life ev-
cry time the wind works Up to the
zephyr pitch. 1t was models abCu-
quarter Ct a century ago and has
simply outworn its usefulness it has
been repaired time after time and the
money expended OF sucn re.nodelins
would have built sc,col that wouil
have at least been substantial
Some years sgo the proposition %
build a new school house was submit
tea to the people. Il vas voted down
by few votes and al that time Ca
son seemed to be On the decline and
little could be predicted fer her fu-
ture. The tazpae yrs cid not vote tho
question OF bonds down. but any one
who could be induced passed a vote
and thus the better judgment Of the
commonwealth was voted down.
1t is now proposed to submit IT,,
question to the paop.e at the coming
election. This is in order that the
county may go before the Legislature
with the wishes Of the people clearly
explained and the bonds be issued
without an unnecessary delay. Should
the people decline to vote YES 20
the subject the matter IS then dcl;l
and the question settled
Reno, Gardnerville, TonopaH. and III
fact all the progressive cities Of the
State have gcae into the school bust
ness in a sensible way. They have
built schools that will remain for all
time. They are not depending upon
today, but are locking toward the fu-
ture. They figure that the people wnO
viii occupy this section in the vea.s
to come should have something better
left them than shanty fer the ger.er-
alton that is to follow.
In this city at the present tine
there is a generation that will need
tutorage for the next fifteen years
and there seems to be nc re- son -
believe that re suicide is to follow.
A new school is needed fer them as
well as Tor those who viii lie coIl-
PEELED to finish their course now bei1g
prepared in the public school.
Since the trustees have consolidated
scnOoi into one building the pressing
need OF a new scnooi is apparent i
any one who gives the matter any con
sideration. One good school house is
sufficient, but it should be modern anG
good and not wooden structure thai
threatens the lives Of the little folks
as we'll as the teachers.
The people are certainly entitled t
voice in the matter and the least tha1
can be done is to submit the question
to them. Nearly all OF the propert,
holders are willing tC have the mat
ter submitted TO them as has bee;
voiced through the press, and wit
the coming election the question ca
be determined at short notice.
