TWILIGHT CLUB
Ik''HOT" DEBATE
Heated Discussions Take Place
At the Regular Meeting
Monday Evening.

The Twilight club held its regular
meeting Monday evening at the Com
mercial Hotel at which the school board
and city council were invited to be
present. The guests were invited for
the special purpose of being present at
a discussion of our local public schools
and the erection of a new high school
building. Some of the members of the
school board must have had the idea
that they were going to be 'called up
on the carpet" and Immediately started
at arguing. The slurs which had been
cast upon the local schools at previous
meeting were brought before the club
and before the meeting closed the local
public schools and the work which was
being done by them received high
praise and the statement was made that
there were no better schools in any city
in the state of the size of Watertown.
The charges against the local schools
were found to be groundless and the
critics received a trimming"
1t was declared that the employment
of more home teachers would help con-
ditions greatly, because their expense
was less and they would stay here for a
longer time, thereby giving the local
schools better service.
The question of a new high school
building was brought up by City AttOr-
ney Buchheit, who said that the city
should stop paving streets for horses
and automobiles and make life easier
for the children by giving them better
education by having better equipment
and paying higher salaries. He said the
city could afford to spend $4,000 year
for teachers salaries alone. He also
stated that he was in favor of a new
high school building and that the local
school charter should be wiped out of
the statute books by being repealed.
This law restricts the raising of more
than $4,000 year for school building
purposes and thereby practically pre-
venting the building of new high
school.
The matter of establishing a public
kindergarten was also brought up and
spoken upon with favor.
