Objection is being made. it is
said, to the size of the bond issue.
The school board has said that
only such amount of bonds will
be issued and sold as is necessary
to complete a building of the size
and character in keeping with
needs and growth Of the town.
It can hardly be disputed that a
building that could have been
erected for $25,0O0 six years ago
will now cost $4,000. There are
some pretty far-sighted business
men on our City School Board.

Even if the above reasons did
not carry weight, no more build
ings should be built on the pres
ent site, because the playground
is already too small. The chill
dren are crowded asit is. Pupils
must have more than standing
room at recesses. They need to
run and jump and play at every
kind of healthy game. If they
are elbowing each other around
and stepping on each others toes,
there is going to be trouble, and
discipline and keeping the peace
become real problems. Ample
space for tennis courts, basket
ball and volleyball courts, track
courses and other outdoor games
should be provided as things OF
necessity, not matters of luxury
or adornment.
We, as parents, and others of
us as teachers, have not paid as
serious attention in the past to
the physical development of our
children as its importance de-
manded. AS a result of the draft
examinations large percentages
of our boys were turned down as
physically unfit, because of poor
body development and prevent
able ills and ailments of all kinds
and degrees. Boards of Educa-
ton in cities, towns and counties
all over our land are demanding,
and rightly, that the schools shall
provide and care for the bodies
of our boys and girls as well as
their minds. Diseased and un-
developed bodies are possible
breeding places for dangerous
"isms" of all kinds. 1t would be
} a great mistake, if not acrime
against the children, to cover up
more OF their already too limited
playground and demand that il
care for a sin greater humber .
