facilities, is not surpassed by any
school building in Eastern Oregon.
And to each and every member OF the
school hoard ia given instituted appre-
citation for their untiring efforts In Sc
curing for the district values commen-
surate with the funds expended. These
men cheerfully shouldered burden
and performed a task for the commun-

work ia completed, it remains for the
patrons of the school to make the best

Of having one Of the best schools In

terialIy in building up the town. The
board of directors have, for the most
part, accomplished their work. 1t is
left for the parents and school patrons
to cooperate with the teachers by in
stilling In the mind of the pupil

and requirement of education. The
possession of fine, modern building

without the sedulous Interest OF the
parent and unremitting zeal and COM

system are not obtainable. Nothing
should be tolerated that will hamper
the progress of the school. Neither
Is 1t essential that system
of retrenobment be inaugurated for
the reason that the district ia bonded
for the new building. The Taxpayers
of the district voted the bonds, not
only for the purpose Of securing the
building, but also with the fixed de-
termination of improving the stand
ard of the institution, and they Will
zealously support the policy Of install

science, manual training, or agricul-
ture, with the object CT attracting
pupils desirous Of attending pro
