FIRM FOUNDATION
Nothing Can Undermine Ii in
Pullman

People are sometimes slow to re-
cognize true merit, and they can not
be blamed, for so many have been
humbugged in the past. The
experience of hundreds of Pull
man residents, expressed publicly
through newspapers and other
sources, places Doans Kidney Pills
on firm foundation here.
Mrs. C. Pierce, Jr,, 115 South
street, Pullman, Wash. says: MY
brother was Troubled from child
hood by weakness of the kidneys and
had no control over the kidney Sc
cretions. Doctors were consulted
and all kinds of medicines were used,
but no relief was received until
Doan's Kidney Pills were given a fair
trial. This preparation has done so
much good that it is worthy of rhe
highest endorseme -

lions are worse, in fact, | can not
recall one where they are so bad for
the successful and efficient manage
ment of such school,"
But, even if new high school
building were not an absolute neces-
sity, it would still be advisable to
erect 1t as a matter of expediency.
Some wise man has truly said, The
high school is the peoples college,
because such great majority of the
boys and girls of the country never
attend any more advanced educa-
tional institution. This being true,
it is vitality important to make thu
work of the high school as attract
i've, thorough and broad as possible.
There is little prospect that Pullman
can ever hope to be a manufacturing
or com mercial center, but it is al
ready an educational center, because
of the location here of the State Col
lege of Washington. It's population
can be materially increased by build
ing up a high school capable of Civ
ing the best possible preparation for
college work. Such a school would
have tendency to induce families to
make their homes here while their
children are preparing for callege, as
well as after they enter the institu-
ton of higher learning. 1t would
bring other families who desire to
give their children the best high
school education within their reach
Any increase in population adds to the
value of property and to the prosper
ity of the merchants, and therefore a
well equipped high school would be
good investment from a business
standpoint.
The assessed valuation of this
school district is almost $1,2O0,000.
It's indebtedness amounts to $4,000
in bonds due in 1925. Under the law
the district can bond for per cent
of its assessed valuation or approx
mately 100000. The district could,
therefore, legally increase its indebt-
edness in the sum of $35, 900. Should
the people of the district ratify the
proposal of the board of directors to
make bond issue of $25, 900 for the
erection and equipment of a new high
school building, these bonds could,
without doubt, be floated at five per
cent interest. This would mean an
annual interest charge of $3.50,
which could be met by one-mill tax
levy or a tax of one dollar on each
$1,000 of assessed valuation. This is
certainly not heavy burden and,
while a new building would to some
extent increase the running expenses
of the schools, it would be money
we'll invested which would pay large
dividends of happiness each year in
the knowledge that we are safe
guarding the health of our boys and
girls and giving them the advantages
of the best possible facilities in ac-
curing an education.
