Our attention has been called num-
bers of times to the importance of
having a telephone in the Tarpon
Springs high school building. We are
constantly having occasion to consult
teachers or pupils about something to
do with the school work, things that
are of public interest, and it means
taking anywhere from fifteen minutes
to half day, walking down to the
school building, hunting up the person
desired, getting the information, and
possibly finding some one kind enough
to write it up for us. Generally, we
have to go after it and write the story
besides. There are also times when
a telephone would be almost indispen-
sible, in case of fire, accident or ill
ness, and it could be placed where its
use could be restricted and where it
would not be a nuisance, but on the
contrary big accommodation to ev-
erybody. We sincerely hope that by
the beginning of next years term
there will be telephone in the pub
