Fin the past twenty five years the popula-
tion of Woodbury. has doubled. In 1880
not all the rooms in the present academy
were occupied. Now all are filed, the two
ward houses Of four rooms each are filed,
and fiye rooms outside-twenty-t three rooms
and with the Carpenter street colored school,
twenty-five rooms. At the end of another
quarter century our population will doubt-
less again be doubled, and something like
fifty school rooms will be required. The
bonds to be issued for the present school
Improvements will not be paid until thirty
nine years hence. ~
As we of TO day look back on the erection
Of the present academy in 1880 on so small
lot, we feel that the good men who then
acted for the school district did not realize
what the future had in store or they would
haye secured more land. Yet with their
example before us we are doing the same
thing to-day. When a sixteen room school
house is erected. PROVISION is made for con-
gregatipg near eight hundred children. The
portion OF the Dillon lot on which the school
will stand is 170x240. The dimensions of
a 16Toom building win be not far from
160x75. W.
How much space will remain at the dis
posal of these eight hundred children for
play grounds-to throw, knock or kick a
ball or run a race?
The crime against the children cannot be
consummated without the further CO.
operation of City Council. That body can
withhold the issue of bonds TO validate the
contract of the Board OF Education, and in
our opinion that body is justified in such
procedure until the people are heard on the
subject
The will of the people ought to be SUI
preme in the construction of school build
ings.
In March three members of the Board of
Education are to he elected. A delay of
two months will not be serious as COM
pared with the life Of the enterprise under
consideration, and what is at stake as
result of wrong procedure.
The people of Woodbury. have over and
over again honored the writer by electing
him to seat on the Board of Education.
We feel we have repaid the debt Of their
confidence by reasonable diligence in the
discharge of our duties up to this date, and
did we fail to utter this note Of warning
now we would feel condemned.
We would not fill public station and be
out of harmony with public sentiment and
il the sentiment Of Woodbury. sustains the
action Of majority of the Board of Educa
tion in this business, the most important
yet transacted by Board of Education in
Woodbury., one in perfect harmony with
the enterprise should fill our place there.
