What Is Your Opinion of the New
High School Proposition?

I 1t is a good suggestion. Every
citizen of Payette, who has the prid'
he ought to have in his home com
nlunity, will realize that one of tht
Oest inducements we can offer to the
tome-seeler is a first class schoo
system housed in a first class build
ing. The fact that it may serve the
double purpose of providing a men,
orial and, at the same time, filling an
absolute need appeals to me. l am
for it first, last and all the time.

| can not conceive of more fitting
memorial recognizing the service of
of our boys than the proposed Higa
School. Its assembly room might be
made memorial hall and would be a
fitting place for community gather
ings. Furthermore, my long connec-
tion with the Payette schools as a
member of the Board of Education
convinced me of the absolute need Of
new High School building to relieve
the badly congested condition which
has existed for years. ! am for the
proposition and will pledge all my
energy in helping to secure it. Pay
ette can not afford longer not to have
a well-equipped modern educational
workshop. By all means let us have
it without delay.

| believe in giving our children the
best we can provide in the matter Of
education. If new High School
building is needed we ought to build
~ now. will vote for it and do not
! ink anyone who has children to edh
tate will oppose it.
c. F. BRODERSON.
The High School outgrew its pres
ent quarters several years ago. A
new building is badly needed and now
is the time to build. The memorial
idea is also a fine one The fneve=s
has my unqualified approval ard sup
port.

Everybody knows that the schools
are so oyercrowded as to cripple their
efficiency. 1t is about time some of
us whose children are all through witt
the public schools began TO realize !
that we still have an obligation in
the matter of education. / received
all the education l have in the free |
public scsools at public expense and
am under obligation to help support
public schools for the education of the
children of the next generation so that
the state may have still better citizen
ship. l will gladly pay the little in
crease in school taxes for the sake of
making adequate provision for the
children of Payette.
N. A. JACOBSEN.
l favor the new High School propo-
sition. We have needed more school
room for years and, in justice to the
children of Payette, we can not afford
to delay the building any longer.
l.. w. SPAULDING.
Payette is sadly in need of new
and modern High School building that
both students and teachers may have
a fair chance. Payette is the best
town in the state and should have the
best schools in the state and all we
now lack is this proposed new build
ing. We should have enough interest
in the welfare of our children to make
this new building a reality. 1t must
come sooner or later and why not now?
C. A, SMITH.
The progress of the community is
judged largely by its public school
buildings. A few years ago the pres
az building supplied the needs, but
4 e community and the school have
S--Sgrown it and the time has come {
for new building.
]. A. LAURER. I
l favor the new High School for
both purposes. 1t will be a fitting {
memorial and we need the additional
school room.
C. S. FULTON. Il
Better late than never. Everybody !
in the district knows we have needed
it for years. Justice to our childrenI
demands it now. {;
J. P. WALKER. b
/ wish to express my personal ap-
preciation to the Board of Education
for bringing to the attention of the
public the necessity of new HIGH
School building. 1t certainly is need
cd, the present quarters being a dis ;
grace to progressive community
such as ours. We have some fine
church buildings which are credit to
the community, but our present High
School building is a trap ieopardizinr
the health. and lives of the children. I'll
is time for us to wake up and buildl
a High School building.
