SCHOOL BOND ELECTION

An election for the purpose
of voting bonds for a new
school building for Monte Vista
will be held at the High School
building next Monday after
noon.
This is made necessary from
the fact that Monte Vista has
so much outgrown her present
school facilities and some
change must be made. The
building such as is proposed by
the Board of Directors would
accommodate our needs for
several years to come. The
proposed building is estimated
to cost about $4,000, possibly
a little more. A smaller one
might be built but it would be
poor business for it would be
outgrown next year and the
same thing would have to be
done over again thereby in
creaslng the expense to the dis
trict. A good building built all
at one time is far more econom-
ical.
The idea of the board is that
with a new completely equip
ped building, a new standard
of efficiency will be established
for Monte Vista schools. Good
teaching corps can be held and
our school brought back from
18th place to some where near
the top among the schools of
the state.
The new building would con-
tain special department for
commercial work, domestic
science and a long needed
manual training department.
Would contain a gymnasium
for the school, an auditorium
for all school and other public
gatherings and the science de-
partment would contain those
things which are badly needed
by the community; that is seed
testing, milk testing, fuel test
ing and other apparatus intend
ed to advance the public well
fare.
With proper supervision
such a building will be a great
asset to the community, in no
way a liability.
A very small amount addi-
tlonal tax will be required to
hnance the measure for so
much present expense for rents
fuel, Janitors and outside scat
tered equipment will be elm
mated.
Let us all register our vote
Monday for the bonds, and
thereby help the raising of our
schools out of their rut.
