MUSCATINES MISTAKE.
burlington Gazette.1


At a recent election in Muscatine,
to decide whether certain vital i'm
provements should be made on school
buildings, involving the expenditure
of s4s5, 200. the proposition was re-
jected by vote of 1856 to 92s.
A careful survey had been made Of
the school needs. Summing up the
result of this investigation II was dis
covered that physically no school was
rated over II to % per cent good All
these facts were laid before the peo-
pie by the Muscatine Journal and
every opportunity was afforded op-
ponents of the project to refute them.
but it could not be found that there
had been a mistake or rnisstatement
Of condition.
Muscatine Is not a poverty stricken
city. In fact. like Burlington. it Is a
community we'll esta blished In COM
fort, with the majority of people
owning their homes. The first in
stinct OF an enlightened city thus
described should be safeguarding the
educational environment Of its chill
dren.
The Gazette is not conversant with
the element that opposed the bond
issue But we will venture the guess
that 1t was led by narrow radical
thought; ,H1outhy trouble makers who
pictured to the rank and file Of the
people the burden OF expense that
would accrue and WHO exploited class
distinction.
A serious failing Of the American
people Is giving heed to the dema-
gogue, who is strong on lung power
but short on brains.

present time the president has made
IL clear that he does not want to

tade Of all the governments from the

have no diplomatic commerce with

MUSCATINE SCHOOL. HOUSES.
Davenport Democrat.1

Davenport Democrat.l
The people Of Muscatine should
take thought to the meaning OF the
result OF the school election there.
When a city votes by majority Of
1856 to s2s against essential repair
Of school buildings. there is some.
thing radically wrong with the public
sentiment Of that community.
A survey Of the physical condition
Of the school properties In Muscatine
had shown that several Of them were.
sadly run down and out of date. Re-
5nced to figures and charted, condi-
ton of Jefferson school was shown
to be 72h per cent bad. 1874 per cent
fair and IL per cent bad, 1872
per cent good. Mckinley school
was 70 per cent bad and IS
per cent good. Garfield ssh per cent
bad. Washington Sc. Jackson go,
Lincoln ~: and Franklin 80. Ply
.sically. no school was rated over from
II to % per cent good. Some were
firetraps.
1t was proposed to issue $4,000 in
bonds for the repair and moderniza~
ton OF these schools, so far al THAI
amount would carry the program
along.
BY over a 2 to vote this city de-
cided to let bad enough alone.
Quite recently. Davenport voted
nearly a million dollars for thelthree
intermediate high schools which were
necessary for the expansion and ball
ancing Of its school system.
The census reports show that MIS-
catine hae lost in population, while
they show that Davenport gained Sc
per cent in ten years,
This leaves up an interesting ques-
ton: Is Muscatine's vote on the
school bond issue and the luke
warmers toward its school sys-
tenn that it reveals, the re-
suit of loss in population and In
civic spirit. or is the Joss In popula-
tion the result OF lack of enterprise
and the decay OF the civic spirit?
One would hate to believe the lat
ter, but 1t is worth thinking about
and the only way to disprove 1t is to
exhibit an enthusiasm for the good
things Of Iife-and there ~ ne better
thing than good schools--that VIII
giver-the lie to such an assumption.
Muscatiue should face about on the
school question, and should show a
reawakening Of public spirit thar will
put It on the map again rs one OF the
alive and forward looking towns OF
eastern Iowa. When it does that 1t
is safe to predict that the census re-
ports will reflect the results Of the
new spirit, and that the town Will
take on new growth In population.

among city's best assets. They ere
