BOND ELECTION :
The Board Of Education Will Sub.
nit to the Voter, the Propo'
sition Of Bonding for a
New School House

At meeting of the Board Of Ed.
ucation, held yesterday to act on q
petition, it was decided to submit
to the voters the question OF issuing
bonds for the construction of new
school house.
Additional school rooms are an
imperative necessity, and the Board
proposes to let the people of the dis
tirct decide how it shall be provid-
ed. The proposition of the board is
to raise $20, 900 by bond Issue, and
erect an eight room building for the
grades. II the proposition for new
building fails the Board will be
driven to the necessity of fitting up
additional rooms in the basement OF
the High School building, an alter
native that will be deeply deplored
by a large element of our popula-
ton.
The problem is one OF the highest
importance and has an intimate
bearing on the future welfare of
Worthington. II the city is to con-
tinue..to growand prosper the matter
must be decided according to sound
public policy, which dictates that
the best is always the cheapest in
the end. There ..seems hardly any
room for argument az to the best
plan. A new building would pro-
vide first class accommodations for
years to come tor the school popula-
ton of Worthington. The use Of
the basement rooms would ut best
prove a temporary makeshirt that.
would even tually be discarded.
But the all important consideration
is the health of the chilren. v ls.it
