starting the general subscription move.
The names of the donors to this new
school building will be inscribed on
tablet placed in the main corridor of the
new building. We are most of us forgot
ten in day and surely no public spirited
citizen who can afford to do it, and there
are those who can, can have his name
carried down to posterity with more
respect, love and admiration, than by
making subscription of $4,000 to Bel
fast's new school building. The children
tor many years to come, at least during
the life of the building, will see his name
on this tablet and appreciate what he has
done for them.
Belfast has it's public spirited citizens
as every other city. That has been DEM
onstrated during the past few years. In
large matters such as this school building
proposition, they are here as well, and it
only remains for them to find themselves.
! Belfast is composed of men and women
second to no other city in any particular
Any one who does not have that concep-
ton of his neighbors does not know them
or even himself.
With new school building such as is
anticipated, the High School attendance
will in short order be at least doubled and
the population of Belfast considerably in
creased within reasonable time.
Nothing can more contribute to pro-
gressive and larger Belfast than this High
School Building In no other way can
our citizens do more to push the up
building of the city than through sub
scribing to this fund. When this building
has been accomplished, Belfast will be
known not only as the BEST and Smart
est City in Maine" but second to none in
its educational advantages
The only way to raise this $4,000 is
TO DO 1T and everybody contribute his
part. We must have at least five and we
hope ten 81, 900 subscriptions. No amount
! less than $500 will be solicited from any
4 individual until at least $40, 900 has been
raised. After this the city will be combed
with ne-tooth comb for such amounts
! as each of those remaining are able to
contribute This is work which belongs
to no one or dozen but to every citizen of
Belfast Let every citizen make it his
immediate business.
The committee will appreciate it if
those contributing $500 or more will at
! once hand their names and amounts to
be contributed to the Mayor. Eight
months will be given within which to
pay the subscriptions. AS soon as the
! $40, 900 has been subscribed by the public,
/ the Trustees of the fund will see that
/ $50, 900 Liberty Bonds are at once pur-
/ chased to take advantage ofHthe present
/ low price5 obtaining on the market
