REASONS WHY WE SHOULD
VOTE FOR NEW HIGH SCHOOL

1. The first and best reason for
supporting the bonds is the 1000
children in the public schools OF
Abilene whose education will not
be the best the town can easily af-
ford to give them unless the bonds
carry.
2. The second best reason for
so doing is the town itself. In this
day in the state of Kansas no com
munity can afford to be known as
one that prefers to deny its chill
dren facilities in education easily
within the limits of expenditure the
law SETS No city can afford to be
unprogressive in education in the
day when its value is more clearly
seen every hour.
3. One OF the great financiers
OF the country said: THE man who
is a bear on the future of the Unit
ed States will go broke" Nothing
ever was truer, and nothing also is
truer than that the community that
is bear on education will regret
its course.
4. Five tenths OF mill addi-
tional levy will provide for the in
creased cost OF maintenance of the
city schools II the new high school
is built. If you pay taxes on $1,000
1t will cost you fifty cents year.
If you are so unfortunate as to be
assessed for $4,000 1t will cost
you SIS. Frightful, isn't 1t?
5. Careful investigation has
proven the fact that each day in a
good high school means ten dollars
more earning power in the life Of
the high school graduate. Our
children are asking for more and
better high school education. Are
we going to deny this when we can
easily grant it?
6. Are you aware that the stream
of country students seeking high
school education Is setting steadily
toward Abilene? Is it a good thing
to have them come? They will do
so if you offer them room and
charge even full cost Of tuition.
But you must have the room.
Z. Kansas is realizing that it
has not been doing by its schools
as they deserve, and is building
school houses at a rapid rate to
take its proper place in the edu-
cational rank of the states. At that,
Iowa is building them twice as
fast.
8. Abilene's new high school is
to be a simple, substantial, econo-
mical building, planned with use
fulness and durability chiefly in
view. Every foot in it is desperately
needed. Every foot in it will be
used.

MORE ARGUMENT FOR
THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL


II is generally conceded that a
new high school is now a necessity
and the only mooted points remain
ing are amount and site. As for
these two questions 1t seems to me
the average voter will realize that
to build a $780, structure is poor
economy-we have been through
that fire once before. A $35, 600
high school, occupied for the first
time nine years ago, does not now
provide in proper manner for half
the scholars, and the site at that
time was com aratiyely cheap. Has
it been good economy to be so con-
sentative?
According to statistics, then, a
$7O,0 900 high school might suffice
for another nine years II our per-
centage increase in enrolment is
not augmented. But why not be
foresighted and progressive enough
to have one that will provide for
fifteen or twenty years? AS busi-
ness proposition it would be econ
omy to say nothing of the enormous
benefits TO scholars who at present
have their efficiency reduced TWEEN
ty-five per cent.
AS for site. We have elected
school board and by that election
we have said those members are
capable men-that they have the
efficiency and industry to look af-
ter the welfare Of the public schools
and they are doing so. Their choice
is our choice and we have conf
dence in their selection Of a suit
able site. They aren't going to at
tempt to place a new high school
building on the banks of the Smoky
Hill river nor on convent hill. They
will select a site as centrally To-
Gated as possible.
1.-THE greatest amount of good to
the greatest number of persons" is
one definition of good government
and Abilene is going to exemplify
that definition on October 6 by
voting yes" ED. CRAWFORD.
Lillian Dyer Butterfield In talk
ing to one of the heaviest taxpay-
ers in the attached territory in re-
gard to the bonds for the new high
school this taxpayer said THE
opinion in this section is that there
will be a full vote in favor of the
bonds. We all see the necessity of
it, That, ! believe is the opinion of
every intelligent voter" Let every
one boost" and vote for the new
high school.
Mrs. Jennette Nicolay: | favor
the bond issue for a new high school
because our school system Is under
going reorganization Let us not
think it is too good TO be true, but
vote for it. Give the young people
the benefit of broader, deeper
education that better prepares them
for life's work
H. f. Seeds, Topeka ! notice in
columns of your paper the PROPOSE
ton of voting bonds for new high
school building. Education is the
foundation to ones success in life,
and we. as taxpayers, should extend
every opportunity for the younger
generation in laying the foundation
for lifes achievement. As a non
resident taxpayer, / am heartily in
favor OF the bonds, and trust there
will not be a dissenting vote.

PROMINENT PROGRESSIVE
TO SUPPORT WILSON

Judge Albert d. Nortoni, the
Missouri Progressive chieftain
heretofore intimately associat-
ed with Roosevelt and other Pro-
gressive leaders, and candidate
for governor of Missouri on the
Progressive ticket in 1912, has
announced his support Of Pres
ident Wilson and will take an
active part in the campaign. He
has resigned from the Missouri
Appellate Court, to which he was
elected for a twelve year term as
a Republican, so that he can
consistently support the Demo-
cratic candidate.
Judge Nortoni says that Will
son has demonstrated real Pro-
gressive ideals, while Hughes is
typical New York lawyer we'd
ded to the ideas and ideals of Big
Business. He contrasts the fed
eral reserve law, the rural cred
its law, the child labor law, the
proposed scientific tariff COM
mission and the shipping bill, all
Wilson measures, with Hughes
opposition as governor of New
York to the income tax amend
ment and his veto of the twO-cent
fare rate bill, and the total lack,
as evidenced by his speeches, of
any real constructive program.
Judge Nortoni assedts that a
great many true Progressives re
senting the betrayal of the party
by former Bull Moose leaders
viii support Wilson.
