sidered in connection with the
erection of the new building.
Pay OFF Debts.

Pay Off Debts.
The board has in mind en-
deavoring to pay off approx
mately 100000 of the bonds
within the next twenty years. and
the remaining 100000 within
the next ten years thereafter, so
that the building will be paid for
largely by those enjoying the
privileges of the building. In
carrying out this policy of the
board, it will call for an annual
expenditure in the way Of prin-
cipal and interest of approx
mately $500 per annum, and
will add to the taxes about "a
mills on the present actual valu-
alton OF the property in the city.
This will mean a cost to the tax
payer who has property subject
to assessment 'of an actual value
of $1,000 of $40 a year during
the next twenty years.
As part of the financial pro-
gram it is worthy of note that
the present tuition list is suffi-
cient to pay the interest at 5
percent on $4,000 bonds. The
added facilities Of a new high
school should more than double
this tuition list. This Increased
tuition account, added to the
rental for extra rooms now being
paid, would care for the interest
at 5 percent on half of the $780,
OoO bond issue asked.
We are advised that new high
school building is imperative for
the purpose Of maintaining our
schools on an accredited list, and
that unless program looking
toward more adequate school
facilities is adopted by the board,
that we will be eliminated from
the list Of accredited schools in
the state
For these reasons It was felt
that the proposition should be
submitted to the voters for a
favorable decision at an early
date.

every one enjoys protection of the fruit

regards education, more funds and bet
ter equipped school houses are needed,
and better trained teachers. The grad
ing in schools should be done according
to psychological tests. Vocational
training should be provided for the
mentally inferior. Libraries, art gal

established 81, r..
But having done all this, we have
but. given power. We must furnish
moral training for the SOOOO,OOO adult

the superior mental class is imperative.
They must learn that inferior groups
were not created to be exploited. The
brotherhood of man is a reality. Justice

absolute necessity. The safety of dem
ocratic institutions depends upon those
richly endowed to refrain from taking
advantage Of those less gifted. Upon
their education IN moral responsibility
rests the welfare of civilization and the

C. C. Collect, Wv Vawter Chautau-
qua Man, Outlines Program, Dis
cusses Dates for Next Summer

ChautauQua program plans were out
lined to the local chautauqua commit
tee Friday, when c., G. Collett, field
manager OF the Vawter Chautauqua
system, arrived in the city to discuss
dates and other details incident to next
summers chautauQua.
From the expressions of those pres
ent at the conference, the forecast Of
events bears out Mr.. Vawter's state
:ment that, 1.-THE big questions and
events of the year are bringing out the
country's best thinkers on chautauqua
as never before
The program states that Gov. E. w.
Hoch, of Kansas, will be one Of the big
headliners this summer. "a strong
man from a state Of strong men, is
the way Mr.. Hoch is advertised. He
is the man who planted the flag Of the
square deal on the outwork of that
formidable monopoly, the Standard Oil,
back in the days when that economic
problem was up for solution. He will
discuss today's problems.
Other Powerful Lectures
Rolo Mcbride, ...The Public Defender
of Pittsburg," and superintendent Of
t'The Parting Of the Ways Home" will
be the speaker for the second day on
making Crooked Men Straight
Homer G. Boblitt was sent to Russia
as morale officer for the Allied gov
ernments, and later as representative
for America. He will discuss tersely,
Russia, Bolshevism and America"
''Shifting Gears is the title of the
popular lecture" which will be given
by Robert l.. Finch, of Kansas City,
more Familiarity known as t'BOb Finch"
- The Musical Numbers
The Kressman Trio the Montague
Light Opera company, the Althea Play
ers, and the Sweitzer Guardsmen sextet
are listed as the musical attractions for
the five, big days. The Kressman
Trio features Miss Elsa Kressman,
soloist, who is now at the head of her
own company on entertainment work
this winter; the Montagues give scenes
in costume from the light operas, and
are rated as one Of the finest musical
organizations offered this community
the Althea players, six winsome hand
some ''home girls with their ensemble
of five violins, and charter readings,
"'give freshness and charm to their
program that has been pleasing chau-
tauQua audiences on the larger circuits
for TIE past two seasons; - and the last
named, the Sweitzer sextet, are? the
guaranteed, 'full-of-pep" feature of the
week with quartet singing, orchestra
jazz, and novelty sketches.
Lots of Entertainment
Judging from the writeups of John B
Ratio, impersonator, the third night
program will be a ''WhiZ'' when it comes
to fun. Mr.. Ratio has filled two thou.
sand engagements during the last eight
years for the biggest entertainment or
ganization booking talent in the West
and is rated by that bureau as lone OF
their most consistent entertainers
The other big feature is the scream
ing comedy, "Elixir Of Youth" Similar
in calibre to ''The Melting Pot Of two
years ago, but essentially comedy
classic, this play is one of the best
cards on the entertainment program
according to the Vawter people.
The dates for the Chautauqua il
Warren will be July 18th to 22nd.

No wonder that last year 10000 teach
