THE COMING SCHOOL
BOND ELECTION.
Contributed.

The people of Roswell must keep in
mind the coming school bond election
for a new nigh school building, March
18th. The Registration books will be
at the various polling places on
March Bird and close ON March 18th.
You will have TO register in your ward
before you can vote in this election.
II the friends of the schools will
take time enough to vote these bonds
will carry by a good majority. There
is practically no opposition to them.
The voting of these bonds by a big
majority will be a great advertise
ment for Roswell. 1t will indicate to
the world that Roswell can be count
ed among the progressive educational
cities of the west; that her citizen
ship believes in d most u~p-to-date ed
ucational facilities for her boys IN
girls; nat she is not a narrow, close.
srasping commercial city; hat she
places her boys and girls before dol
lars and cents; hat ner people en-
dorse and are behind her splendid
school system; that her people give
the Beard, the Superintendent and
the teachers their unstinted endorse
nent, nelp. and sympathy in making
these schools the best in the West.
Roswell leads all the towns of New
Mexico and this part of the West in
the efficiency of her public schools.
The securing of the new high school
building will enable ner to continue
in the lead and still more out-dis-
lance them in the progress of her
schools.
Over 200 families have moved here
and placed their children In school
since June. These families represent
tw~enty-three different states. New
families are coming every week. If
YOU will TAX the trouble to investi-
people were induced to locate In Ros
well because of her schools.
The building of this high school,
equipped with all the high school ia
cilities, and with the Introduction of
manuel training, domestic science,
n a commercial course, will bring
many o excellent families to Ros-
well. lie the efficiency of your
schools d~eterioate from the present
high standard and you will see many
excellent families leave Roswell and
many new families headed for the
southwest will locate in other towns
having ample school facilities. In
this progressive age people demand
good schools and will O to those
places having them.
This is a critical period in the ed
ucational system of Roswell and we
believe her intelligent citizenship will
meet it successfully.
Since the Board Of Education in
making a ward school of the
Pauly Building and using the lower
rooms of the new high school building
for the lower grades, this will really
give Roswell two additional ward
schools, as well as a new high school
building. The board also intends hav-
ing the Low and High Eighth classes
attend the new high school building.
These arrangements will relieve the
conditions in every sense
of the word. After the building OF the
new high school the Board will, as
soon as they are needed, and when
they are financially able, build other
ward schools.
The carrying out of this policy win
enable the people of Roswell to make
their schools the best In the west,
while the carrying out of the policy of
building little ward schools, and not
providing an np-to-date high school
building would injure our schools and
the town beyond measure. The pres
ent efficiency corlld no be maintain
ed and our schools would begin to de-
t~erioate very rapidly.
We feel sure that the people of Ros-
