held on September 80 for the purpose
Of voting on a proposition to issue
$4,000 Of school bonds, the proceeds
OF which bonds to be expended In
enlarglng the public school buildings.
The case is just this; there is not
enough room in which TO quarter the
pupils Of the public schools. There
are not as many rooms as there are
teachers. Many Of the rooms have
Nom 60 to ITO pupils in them. The
YmpulsOry school attendance law
ssed by the iast legislature has
creased attendance. Under present
bnditions our greatly overworked
$achers cannot give as effectiy'
bsrvice as they have been giving
he law forblds boards OF educa,
ln to rent buildings for schUo
llrposes. There seems to be pothinl
1t but to vote the bonds.
Within the past ten or twelve
ears Lexington has issued abou
s45, 900 Of school bonds. or thes,
s22, 900 remain outstanding will
$1,000 on deposit to take up the mex
maturing bond. Within the last tel
years population has increased AM
the property valuation grown iron
about ss5O,OO0 to about 81, $50. .OOO
II the public schools are to b
maintained they ought to be main
tanned in a state OF efficiency
Nobody would consider propositio
to abandon them. There is nothin
lett then but to enlarge their facilitit
BY voting foi the bond issue.
