u man can make more breaking on
a railroad than he can teaching in

to Mr.. Schuckmann another diff
Guilty in the school employment
everywhere is the uncertainty of
the tenure of teachers. Their
places are not permanent, and they
are engaged from year to year.
Those engaging them are changing
frequently, and new trustees are
elected sometimes with nothing
else in view but having out grudges
against teachers they dislike. So no
teacher knows how soon a turn of
the political wheel will bring him
or her face to face with dismissal
without cause. The school board
simply omitS them in engaging
teachers for another year and fills
their places with stranger. Upon
the other hand the same teacher

a HIGH SCHOOL.

ing heavily, TINS other proposition
is sprung to load them down with
bonds and a tax to run high
school to finish the education of
dozen or fifteen boys and girls
whose parents can stand that cost
without imposing it as burden
upon taxpayers. Many of those
who are instanced now as of the
right age TO attend high school
would not attend one, because their
parents have to put them into en-
ployment to help support the
family. And most of those who
would attend high school can be
sent abroad by their parents to
schools that supply the high school
course. When the taxable prop
erty in Nogales is double or treble
what il is now and school popula-
ton accordingly, will be time to
talk about high school, and tax
ing people to support one while
paying interest on the bonds sold
to put up building.
Mr.. Bracey Curtis cashier of the
First National Bank, thought that
the proposition would be of benefit
to the town, in that it would keep
at home considerable money being
expended now else where for educa-
ton of Nogales students, and draw
here many families who would
favor Nogales on account of educa-
tional facilities, while now they are
sending their children to Califor-
MIA and elsewhere for their school
ing. There is in the region south
of us large and growing Ameri-
can population, who are compelled
to send their children to the United
States for their schooling. A school
in Nogales that would meet their
requirements would draw them
here because so much closer to the
parents. Many such families
would make their homes here,
for that very reason-to give the
children schooling and at tie same
time keep the home influence
around them. Those who oppose
the proposition may not see it in
that light, but that is the way it
looks to me.
County Treasurer ARGUS Red
-doch said he thought the question
sprung prematurely and far in ad-
vance of the requirements of the
town. He holds that the burden
of taxation is too much now, and
he will he disposed to oppose any
proposition to increase at this time
the burdens of the taxpayers.
County Recorder Phil Herold
holds the same views as Mr.. Red
doch, and he views with distrust
any proposition to increase at this
time the burdens now upon the
taxpayers.
Mr. William Shuckmann, presi-
dent of two of the leading institu-
tons of the town-Las Dos Nacioues
Cigar Factory and the First Ma
tional Bank-expressed an opinion
that the bond proposition for a
high school is little premature at
this time; and he likewise took the
same view of some of the others in.
terviewed that it would be a good
idea to bring the schools now pro.
