A LAST WORD ABOUT
THE HIGH SCHOOL
Continued from Firs. PaSe)

School,
some people would favor the erec-
tor 0f 4 new building II u were 20 be
er.ci.d away from the Normal
grU1ndr. They feel now, however,
that because their advice has not been
fo.l8Eed. the whole county should be
made 70 suffer while they are enjoy
ing rgycnge. This Is 4 shoTr-sighted
attitude. IL is = great gain 20 the
County 20 build on the grounds do
mated b. the State; for the State will
continue 20 keep up the running eN-
pens Of the high school and all the
Other benefits mentioned above. But
II the high school were several
blocks away-d0Wn in tovn-the
Stat could not give these benefits 20
IL. Why. on just one item alone-the
heating plant-the State has saved
tn County thousands Of dollars Be
sidss. the State l. building the gym
naslgn and auditorium, both Of which
will be a. much used By the High
School a. the College.
Al the same time. with their own
building. the High School can be CIV
en- q separate and independent organi-
zation This will be better for the
students: and yet they will not be
deprived Of the advantages which the
Normal has been giving, nor of the
financial assistance Of the State.
Nearly all good citizens viii for
get any personal grudgc that they
may have, and they will do what they
know TO be best for the children Of
al the people.
The sale that has been tentatively
negotiated for the proposed bonds is
most fOTtunate-par AT five per cent.
This Is recognized by all business men
a an annual saving Of at least $1,000
on the issue. or $4,000 for the TWEEN
T. years that the bonds have to run.
Should the high school, committee not
need all the money at once. they are
permitted 10 draw Il as needed. The
unused balance will therefore accumu-
hate interest until actually demanded
for construction purposes.
The bond issue doeH not promise 10
add a great burden to the taxpayers
On the old, plus the proposed new is.
sue, the tax would be about fifty cents
on the thousand dollars. or five dol.
lars on ten thousand. Almost any mar
might better reduce his income by
the amount Of this tax and thus use
his money where il will reap mors
direct results for his and his neigh.
bors' children.
Cone on, let's make Gunnisor
County an educational center oi
the right kind and the best
pane in Colorado for state
school; and then We can hope that
this same state school will continue
TO contribute generously to the need:
OF the County High School. With q
fair building, Gunnison County car
have the best high school in the state
