ARTICLE VIII.

I. WHAT ARE THE REASONS
WHICH CALL FOR A NEW BUILD
ING?
10. The High School as O. Commun-
ity House.
a. Our whole present generation and
doubtless the generation preceding us
have heard many times over the oft
repeated suggestion that Gardiner
needed a new City Building. We have
become familiar with the list of
names of the men and women who
ought to build and donate such a
building to the city. Doubtless these
have been pleasant If not profitable
dreams. They have afforded many of
us the peculiar pleasure of spending
the fortunes which other people have
accumulated.
Let it be recognized, since it must
that this offers neither a. fruitful nor
patriotic method of developing unself-
ish devotion in our citizenship. There
Is no prospect whatever of such a
building coming in such way to ouI
city. Moreover it is neither necessary
mol desirable. For it would not fulfil a
single function which could not be met
many times over by extending the
functions of our new building into a
Community House.
b. The same dream has been en-
tertained concerning a Y M. c. A
Building for our city. More patient
and sincere efforts have been made to
realize this object, the value of which
no lover Of our city would for one
moment question. But as yet. all such
efforts have proved impractical. Mr.
Hazard has challenged our citizens
and met the young men of the COM
munity more than half way. by pro-
viding rooms for the beginning of
such work.
Without in any way interfering with
this project, or discouraging the hopes
and possibilities which may lie before
it, we can easily and most naturally
provide for such functions by the
modified and extended uses for which
our new High School building could
most wisely be equipped. Moreover
such community equipment would be
fraught with greatly extended bless
ings through this enlarged mission OF
the High School since its privileges
would be daily shared by a very large
portion of our student life.
Two of the most essential things as
sociated with every Y. NJ. c. A. build
ing are we'll equipped gymnasium
and q reading and reference room. Blu,
we ought not to entertain the project
of new High School building for a
single moment without making ade-
quate preparation for a we'll furnished
gymnasium. Both school and civic in
terests alike call for such equipment
We shall never make any great head
way in medical examinations, and ply
steal courses of instruction, until we
establish and equip an adequate room
for a gymnasium. The reading and
reference room could easily be pro-
vided if contemplated in our Original
plans.
C. For the above reasons oul
schools, and cur schools alone furnish
the most reasonable and only possible
