likely to spend too much time, thought
and money on practical education.

! am in favor of the new High
School building. Count on me as an
active supporter of the proposition.
l am heartily in favor of a new
High School building. The one now
thing forr our benefit. For the last To
existing is not a credit to the com
munity and the present crowded
condition in the schools shoIid not be
, tolerated any longer as, apart from
the educational disadvantages of over
crowding, it is distinct menace to
the health of the children.
MICHAEL HARRIS.
In my opinion no public improve
n2ent is more needed in Payette than
new High School building. The
inadequacy of the present building is
deplorable and this condition has long
been realized by tie people. This
is the logical time to start this fine
movement. Let it be a Memorial High
School. E. w. PEASE.

posed new Memorial High School. ]
am particularly anxious that the build
ing, if it shall be built, shall be strictly
modern and up-to-date, and adequate
to the needs of the community for the
present and for a long time to coma.
We can not do less for our children.
They are entitled to the best.
DIR. J. C. WOODWARD.
1t has long been my opinion that
grave injustice was being done to
both the children and those who carry
on educational work in Payette I'M
their being compelled to work under
conditions which are actually iniur
ious to health. Payette is far behind
cur neighboring towns in the provis
ion she has made for her children,
and it is high time that her citizens
provided school building and equip |
ment appropriate to the time in which |
we are living.
Rector THOMAS ASHWORTH. !
AS a member of the School Board |
for six years, l was convinced of two
things especially. First, that we have
a splendind school system, and second !
that we haven't an adequate place to
put it. In justice to our children let
US get busy at once and provide more
and better school room.
E. W. EQUALS.
In any community tire thing that
strikes nearest home is the education
of the children of the community. We
should provide fully for the real needs
of education. The High School build
ing is necessary. Let us build it now.
c. E. LARSON.
l believe the present High School
building to be insufficiently lighted
ventilated, unsanitary and
to our needs as a commun-
ity, and am in favor of new, mod
ern, up-to-date building and the re-
or repairing of the present
building to such an extent as to make
it as near safe and healthy place for
our children to attend as possible.
Mayor l. R. WOODWARD.
The City Council, to whom the ques-,
ton of the proposed new Memorial
High School building has been submit
ted for consideration, after due de-
liberation finds itself in favor of the
erection of the building for the fol-
lowing reasons:
(D The present facilities are en-
.irely inadequate to the need of the
public.
(2) Good schools and modern
school buildings are most powerful
agents in the upbuilding of any COM
nunity.
(3) Our children are entitled to the
best and it is our duty to provide it.
(D The public have long realized
The condition of the Central School
and modern, up-to-date.

ped building is demanded
For these and many other reasons
we desire to 60 on record as favor
