City is beginning to need a new high
building. II should be made as at
al situation. II will not be long be-
fore the requirements for such
structure become painfully acute aud
a general demand made for its erec-
ton. The matter should be given at
tention now and public opinion crys-
tallized on the subject for the guild
ance of the board OF education In any
action IL may determine upon in rela-
ton to the proposal later on. II Il is
decided to erect new high school
building 1t should be made as at
tractlve as possible and adequate In
size and equipment to meet the de-
mands OF the community for many
years to come. Additions to the pres
ent building would not be good bust
ness policy and at best would be but
a temporary solution OF the difficulty.
What Is wanted Is building SUM-
ciently large for its purposes. archi-
iteeturslly attractive. convenient In ar
rangement and spIendidly furnished
for practical. effective school work Il
should be. In fact, a building OF which
the people OF the town will be proud
am in favor OF such building

two. A new building. such as II Is
hoped the board OF education will pro-
vide. II a construction program is un-
dertaken, would mean very much
