At the annual school meeting, to
be held on Monday, July 1,
question is to come up which is of
vital interest to every citizen-the
question of the ACCESSIBILITY of ad-
ding to the present scope of the
River Falls city schools. Manual
training and domestic science
courses have been given ample try
outs in other schools to prove their
worth, and in every instance have
surpassed all expectations in demon
strating their usefulness. They are
no longer considered as frill" but,
are courSeses that are accepted as
necessities in modern education.
This city is in a position, dnan
cially, to put its schools up to the
standard, and, unless the conten-
tions of those who are advocating
this movement can be--pesitively
disproven, there should be no hes
itancy whatever on the part of the
citizens TO get the. work started.
The proposition will be discussed,
pro and con, at the school
meeting July l, and everyone inter.
ested should be there. aa
