Editor Weekly Messenger

Editor Weekly Messenger /:
May I have a little space in your
valuable columns for the discus
sion of q matter that you sugges-
ted in your last issue, and that is
the erection in our town of q large
brick High School building. 1
have heard favorable comments
from many sources on this SUBJ
ject since your recent issue. and
desire to be one of them to sug-
gest ideas. We need q new and
modern building for many reasons:
First, our children are worthy of
and entitled to the very best edu-
cational facilities that we can give
them.
Secondly, our present building
is old-fasdioned, poorly lighted,
poorly ventilated, poorly heated.
and therefore unssnitary, and is
in addition to this, 6re-trap. and
therefore unsafe.
Thirdly, it is entirely made
quate, both with respect to size
and arrangement, to properly
house the number of pupils now
in attendance.
Fourthly, it is far more made
quate for the present demands of
an approved state high school.
which requires laboratory equip
ment, library room, facilities for
assembling pupils, or patrons, or
both. a principals Office, hat and
cloak rooms, etc.
Filthy. it is entirely out of har-
mony with other modern improve
meuts in the town, and the pro-
gressive spirit of the people.
Sixthly, the present building is
far below the accepted standard in
other Louisiana towns OF similar
size and Importance.
Seventhly, a modern high school
building in town is not only a
credit to it's people, and a source
of pride and qualification, but it
is, besides, an investment, invi-
ting immigration and enhancing
the value of property.
1 stand unequivocally for a new
building. The next matter to de-
termine then is the means by
which We may secure this bull
ding. Let the School Board meet
and organize a school district,
comprising the corporation and
adjacent territory. Then let US
vote a special tax for this purpose.
A two or three mill tax for twenty
or thirty years is the right kind Of
a tax for Us to vote. In that way
those that are now deriving the
benefits of the tax, that is the
coming generation of citizens, may
help pay fol the building. On a
three mill tax, the contribution
from each property owner is very
light. A man having property as.
sessed at $500 pays only $3.50 a
year. Let US vote a tax by all
means. issue bonds, and build at
least $4,000 house. A two mill
tax for thirty years or three mill
tax for twenty years, in school
district comprising st. Martinville
and the territory within a radius
of three miles should enable us
easily to do this.
We learn that the Breaux Bridge
bonds for q new school there have
been disposed of, conditioned on
