The HIGH SCHOOL MEETING
The Citizens Indicate 10 the School
Board How They Feel.

The mass meeting of citizens at
the court room Saturday evening
was attended by several members
of the board and about a hundred
citizens. o. W. Dawson was
made chairman of the meetig. and
called on Porter Young who had
been requested to give some facts
and figures concerning the needs
of the school.
Mr.. Young said there were
some additional courses that we're
necessary to carry under the
Barnes law, and that while at pre-
sent one additional instructor
would be sufficient. in the course
of little time it would take two.
He aDprehended that the Barnes
high school law would run the en-
rollment up close to the 200 mark
at the beginning of another year.
As to building, he had inter-
viewed an architect, who had
been making school houses his
business, and received the follow
ing ESTIMATE. A building 96xS4
feet on the ground. The base
ment to certain one class room for
science lass, laboratories, heating
plant, janitOr's room, and a large
room for anything else that might
be needed. The first floor to con-
tam two rooms for the eighth
grade, they being now crowded
where they are at the ward build.
lngs, rooms for the commercial
course work, two recitation rooms,
superintendent Office and
teachers room. closets and cloak
rooms. Second aoor to contain a
lage assembly room, readi no and
reference rooms. teachers room
and five recitation rooms.
Mr.. HeckehllvcIy, the archi-
tect, said this building could b
erected, all in first class condition.

water heating plant, which alone
would cost $1,000, modern VENT.
latlng appllcaneS, tile floor in
lower corridors, double floors
throughout, press brick, cement
foundation, Kansas tile roof, cop.
per cutters and valleys, stone
trimmings, a first class job
throughout. basement to be nine
feet and other ceilings fourteen
feet, all within the sum of S35, 900.
This building would accommodate
about 300 students. OF course
some change in these specifications
would reduce the cost, as would
slight reduction in the size of the
building.
Several spoke on the PROPOSE
tion, and in answer as to equip.
nent, Mr.. Young said that would
take about $500 more. Several
of those present thought $4,000.
was plenty high enough to 20 for
a building, and without much dis
cussion a motion was unanimously
adopted asking the school board
to call an election TO vote bonds
in a sum not to exceed $4,000 for
the erection of q high school
building. While there are some
who think this amount not sufh.
cient, some think it too high, and
taken all in all we believe it is u
happy medium, that it will be
voted, and that it will gil the bill.
The school board accordingly
called a special meeting for the
council room for Monday evening
at 7:30, when the call was issued.

THE cosT OF A BOY

Someone has figured II out that the
average boy who Is dependent upon
his parents for a livelihood ur6I he
reaches the age of q years cost them
$4,000, says an exchange On this
basis of calculation a brood of six
boys would represent an outlay of
$4,000 by the time they get away
from home roost. If n boy turns ON
to be a cigarette fiend, with breath
Ike a turkey buzzard and a laugh
that would make the untutored don
key feel perfectly at home in his So
ciety, and with an untrammelad and
uneonquerable desire to avoid work
1t is safe to say that his parents
might have invested their money to
better advantage.
But If boy grows up to manhood
with lesson well learned that
wealth and success grow only on bush
es watered by the sweat of ore's
brow, the parents need not begrudge
whatever they have spent on him.
for he Will be source of increasing
pride and joy for their hearts and
when they grow old and their hands
tremble ard their legs wabble and
their step is slow and faltering they
have two strong arms to lean upon
and help them over all the rough
places that lie in their twilight path.
