THE HIGH SCHOOL LOAN

- which to educate the public to the
urgent need of adopting the proposed
new high school loan-and much edu-
cation along that line is needed. Not
everybody realizes conditions as do
those directly in charge. Hundreds
of people are not interested and
others are openly opposed to further
increasing the school debt for the
purpose because they place the dol
lar mark above that of public educa-
ton. II the loan is to be passed
much work must be done, and done
now and continuously up until the
close of the polls on election day.
The high school loan was defeated
before both because of the selfshness
of certain persons who gave more at
tention to the tax rate than to the
welfare OF the children of the city,
and for the reason that there was, be-
yond question, lack of public conf
dence in the school board as then con-
stituted. Certainly. neither objection
can be raised at this time. The char
acter and caliber of the men who are
in control of school affairs in the city
is above question. They are honest
and able. With respect to the tax
question, the public has it from no
less an authority than President
Stamm himself that the present tax
rate is sufficient to cover the interest
and sinking, fund necessary for build
ing and equipping the proposed new
schools.
Harrisburg is sorely pressed for
high school facilities. The teaching
force is overworked as a result of
| the double session method made nee
essary by the overcrowded condi-
tons and boys and girls are in
school little more than half the time
they should be. But badly as we need
a new high school now. conditions will
| be infinitely worse two or three years
hence. The city is just on the verge
of another great move forward. New
families will come to Harrisburg by
the score as the town grows. These
will look to the city to educate their
| of proper educational advantages will
keep away from here many others
who would come. Already there are
on record specific instances of this.
Businessmen and travelling men re-
main elsewhere or go elsewhere be-
cause of our miserable failure to give
our high school students proper quar-
ters and equipment This is a direct
loss in dollars and cents to the COM
munity.
Once the subject is fully understood.
the conditions painted in vivid colors
for the enlightenment of the people,
the financial end of the proposition
properly outlined and the reasonable
ness of the plan in mind made plain,
there will be many converts to the
high school loan who are now either
simply not interested or openly an
tagonistic- The difficulty is that the
time is short for the kind of campaign
that must be waged.
The Telegraph publishes to-day the
first of series of news articles deal
