HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING IS
Immediate NECESSITY
Strong Presentation Of Claims Of Education
Upon our Attention by MI. Gray and Mis-
Waterman. Great Advantages Of Pro
posed Move.

Pending the result Of the election on
May s, the County High School COM
mittee advertised and received bids ON
the proposed $50, 10000 bond issue.
Bids were received from several firms,
the best one being from the Bankers
Security Company Of Denver, which
sent certified check for 100000 as .
guarantee Of good faith. This oom-
pany offered $1,000 premium per
81 10000 on twenty year per cent
bonds. In other words, the bonds may
be sold at once for $50, 10000.
II the bond issue carries, the taxes
in Gunnison County will be increased
20 cents on q 100000 property valua-
ton. This amount will pay the annu-
a inerest on $5O,OOO.O0 ct six per
cent each year for the next twenty
years. At the expiration of twenty
years an additional tax for the retire
ment Of the bonds will need to be
levied. This means that the present
students of the High School and fu-
ture students who secure its advant-
ages will have the opportunity Of pay
ing for their education.
From the standpoint Of economy,
efficiency, and educational advantages
let US consider where the proposed
building might best be located. We
must bear in mind, of course, that the
actual locating Of the building Is .
duty Of the County High School COM
mittee, but they are reasonable people
and certainly win be glad to know the
wishes Of the taxpayers Of the county.
Should the proposed High School
building be located on the Normal
School grounds or should It be loeat-
ed elsewhere? In favor Of the first
proposition, permit me to suggest the
following reasons:
1. 0ns heating plant, one yenfilat
iMg system, 60 sanitayy sewer can
serve both schools with but little more
expense than they could serve either
school alone.
2. One head janitor, with but slightly
increased force, can keep both build
ings and the grounds in shape with
but small increase in expense.
8. One faculty for both schools is
% great economy and gives both
schools the advantage Of the services
Of trained specialists. For instance,
1t is quite likely that the County High
School, II run entirely ~ . separate
institution, could not employ more
than one music teacher. That teacher
would probably not be . specialist in
voice, piano, violin, pipe organ, band
and orchestral Instruments, glee club
and chorus work. Now every high
school student has the opportunities
offered by from three to five expert
instructors in music. The finances Of
the County High School would not en-
able its committee to employ special
instructors in drawing and AIT, public
speaking, and physical train
ing. With the two schools closely as
sociated, the High School students
have equal opportunities with Normal
students in these special departments.
But consider the regular academic

ALL GuNNISON TROUT NOW

Or thirty, tkousand, going up the Gum

Another plant Of $4,000 fish was
made in the Gunnison river, close to

or five miles up the river, and the
other $4,000 distributed down stream
rs far as the Andrews' ranch.
It is the intention Of Mr.. Frazier,
state game and hsh commissioner, to
put >the entire 100000 eastern trout
now ready at the Pitkin hatchery. in
the Gunnison and its tributaries. For

hatchery has come on 30 strong that
it supplies the balance Of the Western

Next fall, the entire batch Of native
and Rainbow trout will also be dis

ing q whole lot in years to come.

Anest trout streams In America, we
ought b, have lots Of fish and two or
three million little trout every year

$4,000 in Ohio Greek and $1,000 in the
Cochetopa.
