THE vExATloUs SCHOOL PROBLEM.

DERliAPS the most important local question confronting
us tho crowded school condition Our scholastic popu
laon IS gaining the equipment of the schools is not hence
imperative that the people solve the problem which
may deprive little folk of school facilities next fall
When we voted Tor bonds few days ago to make pos
sble few schools the taxpayers did not favor the
amount OF the issue. But this docs not mean that cn-
ment prevails against increasing the number of schools
The school board meets Monday night The president Of
the board quoted saying that he docs think that the
question Of relieving conditions will he mentioned a, the
meeting II any member OF the board ncIncs to that belief
1t will be well to have change of mind for the people OF
this city expect the school board to give consideration
this question at once
1t appears that there obs,inaoy in the school
board not against the system but as between members
Two OF the board understood to favor submission OF
bond issue ~ the amount as the one' which was re-
lcctcd at the last election Others of the board favor au
issue OF a smaller amount
The people Of this city expect the members o the school
board to adjust this matter please members but
TO please the PEOPLE who own the schools The taxpay-
crS insist that the members surrender their selfish views
on the amount OF the bond issue and agree
that will meet with the favor Of those who expect send
their children to school next year
Since the members unable to agree upon the
amount of bond issue that will be popular, do agree
that must build schools it would seem that the
people might issue ultmaium to the board to get to-
ge'hcr and effect compromise each member concedng
something to his fellow members
Two board members believing that bond issue OF
Soo IS the proper should ask their constituents for
enlightenment, the subject to ascertain what is needed

Since there no chance Tor tho board to agree on
the next bond issue compromise must be urged by the
