THE SCHOOL GROWTH.

IN one oi the tcn-ycar-ago items in the Times We ind
tha, the opening OF local schools IN September, "'
was featured by enrolment OF 400 Last Monday when
the schools opened Tor the l9oH term the enrolment
was IN excess OF 1900,
1t is thought that no city OF class has shown such
splendid advancement in the scholastic population Inc
gain Is gratifying and every taxpayer who has cast bat
lot 10 cause more school investment is well satisfied
While We have built many schools to meet the cond''
tons has been something OF effort to keep ahead oi
the growing population and to provide educational iac-
tie, as fast as needed by the little folk Most OF the local
schools are crowded at the beginning OF the term and
with the added enrolment which is to come within
the next few months it will be necessary to erect more
buildings for the students
Yes this means another bond issue But no community
can make better investment than to put money INTO
school buildings and in the very future when the
official, ask the It they ready to increase the
public debt for the benefit OF the school children the reply
will be an emphatic, positive vote at the polls
