Another interesting feature this year
was the short time il took to classify
and complete the enrolment OF this
record attendance. While the atten-
dance is very much larger il took
but half the time to enroll. due per-
haps to the fact that the teachers
had studied the course OF study and
knew before they came what course
they intended to pursue.

WOULD GET A WHITE WAY
by CITY BOND ISSUE

There has developed here this
week considerable sentiment favor
ing the insurance of city bonds 70 the
erection OF a white way in Durant.
Those advocating the bond issue as
the correct way of making the i'm
provement, point out that in that
way only, will each person who pays
taxes bear his just part of he ex-
pense, which is no doubt correct.
The bond issue is suggested as a
substitute for the plan suggested by
this paper. 'of the business men hav-
ing the white way built, and divide
the cost among themselves.
This paper is agreeable to q bond
issue for white way. The bond
issue is the sound way of getting all
public improvements, in the absence,
OF course, of ready cash. Our pos
ition on the method of procuring n
much needed white way. has been 4
result of belief that the bonds, in an
adequate sum could not be voted.
II 1t Is found that the city can issue
bonds for the purpose this paper is
heartily in accord with the immedi-
ate calling of an election for that
purpose. What we want is the
white way. and the means of getting
1t is OF secondary consideration.
