CONCERNING HIGH SCHOOL

MI GulCOI.
 1 notice in your last issue that you offer space to any taxpayer who has a word to say concern ing the proposed $30,000 high school building.
 have talked to several perm anent and heavy taxpayers in the district concerning the prop osition, and while we are willing to pay our share toward school improvements and other necess- ary expenses to aid education. we feel that a S3O,000 building at present time would be extrava- gant.
 In the first place, we are in formed that the high school building at Winslow cost only S16, 900 and is sufficient for the needs of the school there. It will be many years before we reach the present Winslow school population at our present rate of increase. We can give you examples of many other owns to prove tn is point if nee essary.
 Again we should look into our prospective high school popuIa- ton for the next few years.
 How many are there now? How many more will there be next year? And how many here now will be somewhere else next term? IT they are determined to migrate a costly building won't hold them. Nearly every school has a large freshman, or first year class, but few stay till the term is completed. At best, we can count on but a small number of high school pupils from our present school popula- tion and we don't need S30, ,000 building to house them.
 It appears that many unnecess- ary expenditures have been made in and about the school this year which leads us to be- lieve that the present school board is not as careful of Public moneys as it might be. Perhaps it would be better to wait till it can show better economy before turning over the $3O,OOO. Now don't say that the board will not necessarily handle this money for the law gives that right to the Board of education. There is no other way out of it.
 But what shall we do if we don't vote the S3O,OOO buildingi There are several ways to solve the question none of which will show eXrravagance.
 Make us another proposition not so large at present and per haps we will fall in line.
 Yours truly

The Scapegrace.

The Scapegrace is cancer on So
ciety. We always have had them and
we always will have them. Rela-
tives will come to their relief as they
always have and always will. Fol
lowing long practice relatives are ex-
pected to fight at the sacrifice of
time and money. There are many in
stances on record where near rela-
tives have exhausted all their means
in fighting for scapegraces who were
unworthy of any assistance Animals
will sacrifice their own lives in de-
Tense of their own. 1t would be con-
sidered inhuman not, to come to the
rescue when members of ones own
family are brought up in court charg-
ed with crime.
The best authorities on crime de-
clare that the worst thing that can
happen to the family of scapegrace
is to free him from prison. He fails
to appreciate the sacrifice made and
continues his criminal program, ex-
pecting that should he get caught
again he will escape punishment.
These authorities are agreed that ev-
er! help should be given first Offend
ers who have committed unlawful
acts through influence or by reason
of passion, but they offer no hope for
a low down, good for nothing, selfish
cowardly scapegrace who, because of
criminal instinct, follow the unlaw-
full path with never thought of dis
grace he brings upon his own family.
These authorities are united in in
sisting that such criminals be pun
ished to the full extent of the law
and the best thing that can happen
to the family is to have them taken
where they will not continue to be a
to society and to bring con-
tinued grief to those who would be-
friend them.
A scapegrace never gets through
bearing down on his friends.
But there is question whether
their escapades do really bring re-
proach upon the families. Thinking
people do not permit themselves to
be influenced by such affairs because
ii all skeletons were displayed and
we passed Judgment on our neigh
bors because of what some scape-
grace of a relative has done we
would all be living in seclusion. Billy
Sunday says that if we are right our
selves it does not make any differ
ence what others do or what gossips
say about us.-Mason City Times.

14O CHILDREN ARE
s UPPLIED WITH
BOOKS FROM FUND
THE DEMAND HOWEVER. IS
STILL HEAVY WITH MANY
POOR CHILDREN STILL ASK
ING FOR BOOKS.

One hundred and forty poor chill
dren have thus far been supplied
with school books from the fund which
has ben donated by the citizens of
the city. Despite the fact that this
number has been cared for the de
mand for books from children whose
parents are unable to buy them is still
very heavy. The money contri-
buted by citizens has almost become
exhausted as well as the secondhand
books donted by children who had
passed into other grades.
Thus far the appeals for books
have come only from the city, but It
now seems that the country people
also are insneed of assistance in this
line, for yesterday witnessed the ap-
pearance of several with notes from
teachers saying they had thus far
been deprived of attending school by
reason of the fact that their parents
were not in circumstances to warrant
the expenditure of money for books
One father sent word that if books
were supplied his child he would re-
pay the money as soon as he was
able to do so and that he did not
want charity.
It is hoped that the baseball game
of today will net an amount suffi-
cient to assist materially in the work
of raising funds.
Citizens who intend subscribing are
requested to do so at once, for if tbs
children are to be supplied it mus
be done now.
The amount thus far contributed
| is as follows:
Previously acknowledge $3.50;
