number is far below the average of

the average teacher to care for 40 pup

ordinary reasoning power. There are

1905 over 1904 was 81 per. cent and
the increase for 1905 over 1904 was
exactly the same.

BUSINESS men STRONGLY OPPOSED TO VOTING
$4,000 FOR AN ADDITION TO WHITMAN BUILDING
SenseIess
o al Board Would Lead he
Observation-Disclosures Per

The proposition Of the school board
to tond the city for $4,000 to build
an addition to the Whitman school is
arouslng an intense and well-founded
antagonism. IL is believed by majori-
ty OF the business men that this move
is ill-advised and totally unnecessary.
Dozens of men have interested them
selves in the matter since the an.
nouncement of the special election
called by the school board and are
working hard to defeat the bonds. not
because they feel tnat the citv cannot
afford the building nor beca use they
do not nave the interests of the school
at heart but because they be
lievs it is a useless piece of extrava-
gance and entirely uncalled fer at this
time.
La the notice issued to the voters
the school board called attention to
1.-THE over-crowded coalition OF the
Stevens and Whitman schools, which
is made the excuse for calling an elec-
tion to plunge the city into $12, 900
, additional debt. Tne statement of
the school board is absolutely mislead-
ing. The condition of the schools
which has led to the statement is en-

In submitting this proposition to
the voters the board has refrained alb.

II this increase holds good next
year the average enrolment will be
805, or at least IS below the present
capacity of the schools. Upon this
showing made by the report of the
superintendent of schools, large per
centage of the business men of the city
of Wenatchee say that an expenditure
of $l2. 900 would be most senseIess
piece of extravaganza.
The fact that the board has not
made public its plans, has not submit.
ted any specifications OF the new
building to the people, together with
the estimated cost should be enough to
keep the voters from placing this large
sum of money in their hands to ex.
pend as they may choose. AS it is the
voters are asked to vote for something
which they know little or nothing
about and have only the word of the
school board that it is needed. 1t il
considered absurd that the people of
this city should be asked to vote in
the dark on proposition calling for
the expenditure of $4,000. While
these men may be perfectly honest,
their Judgement, as has been shown in
the past. is not always the best and it
is due the voters that they be given
detailed statement Of the intentions
of the board before it is allowed to ex-
pend their money.

Help for San Francisco.

In sympathy with the Presidents
appeal to the people of the whole
nation, The Times VIII be glad to
receive and forward to the American
National Red Cross subscriptions for
the relief of the people of stricken
San Francisco. The calamity is over
whelming and the need urgent. One
of the first cities of the. continent is
destroyed. Its people, to the num-
Der of 100000, are not only bereft of
home and business and compelled to
begin anew, but are in present need
of food and shelter. The duty of
their fellow-Americans is clear. To
such of them as live in Washington
and desire to avail themselves of the
services of The Times, this paper ex-
tends the use of its Office machinery
for the receipt of contributions and
the transmission of them to the
agency named by the President.
