An election will be held by the
qualified electors of Newberry School
District No. 1, June oath, for the
purpose of deciding the question of
increas ag the tax levy che mill for
Two years,
In order that the people of the dis
trict may intelhgently decide this
matter the trustees desire to make a
frank and clear statement of our
school system as to income, disburse-
ments, enrolment and conditions of
schcol property.
After this statement has been made
the board of trustees do not feel that
it is incumbent upon them to make
any further effort 10 press the issue
for this increase which should be
a matter of common interest.
The school system should be of vital
interest to every citizen. Every city
is known by it's churches, it's city
. government and its educational insti-
tutfons. While we may differ in our
ideas concerning the management of
the schools and general efficiency of
its instructors, it is well to remember
Sat these change more or less an
Sssslly, while the school itself is a
fixture and a powerful witness as TO
the kind of people who make up the
city's population.
We have much to be proud of in
our buildings and equipment, but we
also have much to be ashamed of, and
the things that will later be mention
ed az things that must be changed
if we are true to our graded schools
which exist for the purpose of giving
our children preparation fG. life and
to instill into them high ideals of
beauty and usefulness. We confident
~ believe that if the repair work we
propose to do was thoroughly investi-
ssted by our peopl. they would all
cooperate and help raise the exS4 /
funds.
The additional one mill levy is for
the purpose Of making needed repairs
and improvements in the school pro-
Rerty. 1t is absolutely necessary to
install an up-to-date and decent
sewerage system in Boundary Street
school. The present old dry surface
toilet arrangement is filthy, insight
ly, and indecent. This condition must
J be changed.
We urge full investigation by any
one inclined to oppose this levy, and
also those who are helping US in this
endeavor to put better conditions
around our children.
In this same building is a heat
ing plant that has never given salts
faction, and it must either be worked
over and made to heat the building
uniformity or it must btorn out and
a new plant installed. In either case
much expense will be involved.
The roofing and other parts of
Speers Street school building need re-
pair work done at once.
q To show how impractical it is to try
do all this work with our present
income it will be we'll to review the
financial conditions of.'Nhe schools as
compared with the necessary ex-
pense.
The enrolment Of the schools end
ing 1911 was 1925 pupils and the total

income from all sources Gncluding
S1053.S3 sinking fund which by spec
ial act of the legislature was trans
ferred to the current fund.- was S15,-
O75.69. The total enrolment for the
school year ending 1912 was 100 pu-
pills, and the total income from all
sources was $14,O41.94. The enroll
ment for the year just closed is
1927 pupils. The income from all
sources is S13,946.55. (This does not
take into account s435.4O which was
raised by the teachers and pupils for
pictures and piano for the High
school, but it does count $4,000 CIV
en- us from the State extension fund,
and $4,000 received from back taxes
apportioned this year.
The present salary of the teachers
including the superintendent and jani-
tor is $13,OS7.5O for the year. The to-
tai amount of the annual income from
all sources is $13,94655 (our bulletin
contains an itemized statement of dis
bursements.) We desire. to call atten-
ton to the fact that the total amount
received from the special four mill
levy is $216.0O less this year than last
year. The total income including the
back taxes is $95.39 less, and the total
enrolment 127 more pupils. 1t would
not have been possible for US to meet
the obligations of the schools had it
not been for the $4,000 OF. accumulat-
ed back taxes that were placed to the
credit of the school fund this year.
The schools have very little more
more money on which to run now thar
they had when there was only one
graded school.
Today we have two additional
schools and are doing our share TO-
ward West End school. This has
made it necessary to employ addition
al teachers, pay two extra jantors
and buy fuel for two more buildisg sgs.
With all these new. and additional
obligations to meet the board has had
to constantly puzzle its brain as to
how the yearly expenses could be met.
We have managed to just about make
a clean balance each year. But it
can readily be seen under these cir
cumstances that it will b 7ntirely
beyond the range Of possiu.. 7 for
the board to make the necessary re-
pairs on the various buildings without
the aid contemplated under the enc
mill levy which the people of the
community are to decide. The trus-
tees are thoroughly alive to the fact
that a greater teaching force is badly
needed at Speers Street school, where
one teacher has the first and second
grades with an enrolment of "a pu-
pills, and one teacher has the third and
fourth grades with an enrolment of
40 pupils. Yet what can be done?
The. High school has three and 25
teachers wiz an enrolment Of 10
pupils. Four teachers would give us
much more efficient work. Our High
school is doing splendid work and
we must see to it that the relations
it has assumed with the various col
leges is maintained.
We hope to add musical depart
ment to this school next year, and it
is also our purpose to add depart
ment of domestic science. Several
of our Leading citizens have made sub
srantial gifts to this department al
ready. The board appreciates these
gifts; they will go a long ways to-
ward making the department sue
cess ana popular among the pupils.

this very moment smearing the
country over with two-column ar
ticles to the same effect-New
York.
Two years ago one Of the great
discoveries the pro-McGraw writers
made was that Jack Lapp was I'M
possible as q catcher. Ira Thomas
was the only backstop the Ath-
letics had, they said, and he could
not stand tho distance. The prin.
cipal trouble with Jack Lapp, we
were told, was that he couldn It
throw to bases, and the New York
ers would steal with the easy facil-
ity with which dissipated father
pliers from his baby g bank
ID UT the amazing thing came to
IL pass. The first three or four
pussy-footed Giants who trailed OFF
down towards second were nailed
standing up, and thereafter Jack
Lapp was admittedly some base
thrower.
Also that same year those poor,
inexperienced youngsters with tho
big A on their bosoms were to be
Grams of New York, Well, what
happened in 1911 is history.
Last year the eighty-three pa
pers told us how Matty was fairly
going to slaughter the Red Sox.
They figured Marquard a fairly
good second, but Matty was the
real Kazink, Tt is easy to write
down the number of Matty's vic
tories against the Red Sox,
Thus far the eighty-three have
not conceded Connie Mack much Of
anything: They grudgingly give
him credit for being a baseball
genius, but never word does ons
read about what Mr.. Mack mayo

have prophesied concerning the
world s series. With singular unan-
unity, eighty-three of the sporting
pages pick the New York Giants as
the champion baseball team of the
world, Eight are positive that the
Athletics will win, and the others
are scattering and may be set
down in the doubtful and doubling
column,
1t is not strange that all these
baseball writers should select New
York. 1t has become habit with
them. Every time New York has
been a contender for the globe 3
bunting, those eighty-three sport
ing pages have been on the Giants.
They never could see anything to
it but McGraw. And they ALWAYS
had the facts and the figures to
prove it.
THIS year they come to the
u front with the solemn dec
laration that McGraw is bound to
win because he has the better
pitchers. Also, they add, the Ath-
letlcs can I hit as well as they did
In 1911. Those two things are the
sole and only argument they pre-
sent in support of their far GIFTED
prediction that Connie Mack may
as well go home and tend to his
pumpkin harvest.
Those of you who were alive two
years ago will recall that columns
upon columns Of words were print
ed about how soft it was going to
be for Muggsy. One magazine, en-
tirely devoted to baseball and its
multitudinous ramificatjons, gave
over two whole issues to proving
that there was nothing to it ex-
cept the Giants. The most prolific

Wednesday night brought the first
inkling to this town that the as
tute Connie really did have some
thing up his sleeve. A little dis
patch from Philadelphia was to the
effect that gentlemen who make
business Of backing their world s

their celebrated townsmap had not
told the world all he knew. Just
because that was so, they immedi.
ately made the Athletics favorites.
