We approach the solution with
great confidence. We believe that the
Courier readers have learned that the
Courier is sincere IN what II advocates
and we believe that Its readers have
learned that, under the present man
agement, II has tried to be right in all
of its efforts, and the constantly grow
ing subscription list is satisfactory evil
dence that the best people in the
county are Loyalty with It In its gener-
al policy for the betterment of the
community, and that they have conil-
dence in It's integrity Of purpose. 1t

means for good in the county, aud
we are grateful to the people for their
hearty endorsement of its policies
That It has made enemies there Is; no
question, but II was in the line Of duty,
and while we regret that any one
should bear It i'll will, we can not and
will not sacrifice principle or yield to
what we think wrong to hold the good
will of any one.

In an editorial in this issue, til
Courier invites the people of the coun
ty to discuss the matter and crysta
ize public sentiment along the line
a bond issue. If you have an idei
that you want to put before the poop,
we invite you to send in short article
giving your views and stating as near
ly as you can ascertain the feeling of
yours neighbOrs in regard to the mat.
ter. If you are oppose to the bond
issue, and have any good reasans why
you are, send in your views and state
your reasons for opposing bond
issue. These articles will necessarily
have to be brief, and unless there is ex-
ceptional merit in the article we shall
have to refuse those of more than five
or six ,hundre words. The Courier
would like to have the citizens tC
,xpress their ideas in the matter free
ly and unreservedly. We want ia
know what the general sentiment In
the county is, and we especially ask
all contributors to be absolutely honest
in theeir expression as to the views
of their neighbors. If you are in q
hopeless minority in your section tell
the truth about it. Don't imagine
that your ideas are the only ones in
the neighborhood.
Licking Valley courier., 1921-02-03

The Couriersris decidedly in favor
Of Il bond issue, and is ready to and
will give its reasons for its position
still, we are not infallible, and will
give the views of those opposed just
as readily as thOse.w agree with us.
The Courier recognizes that 1t is n
public servant, and that its duty is to
the best interests of the county, and
1t will not sulk il 1t finds that it is in
the minority. We want to find out
ust what the sentiment Of the ma
jority of the people in the county is
in regard to bond issue for school
that will give your children aud mine
an equal chance with the children of
The more favored localities. And Il
will keep submitting to its readers
the best arguments it can produce In
favor of better school buildings,
Licking Valley courier., 1921-02-03

Yet these same men will make person
al obligations and incur debt without
hesitation. But 1 want, in this ar
ticle to prove to those Who are oppos,
ed to bond issue, that 1t will not
cost them a cent in increased taxa
ton; that they can build the school
buildings needed without increasing
the rate of taxation, and that the
failure to build them will not lower
their tax rate. All that bond issue
means is that the revenue for succeed
ing years is available now. There is
sufficient revenue from the present
rate and valuation to absorb the is
sue of bonds and pay current expenses
within ten years.
Licking Valley courier., 1921-02-03

Another reason for ample build
ings is this: Many of the young
men and women do not want high
school, but do want business or
commercial course. 1t is proposed
that when the new buildings are pur
up to establish a thorough business
course so that the young people of
Morgan county will have their choic
of high school course or course
that will enable them to enter, fully
equipped the field of business activi-
ties. Scores of our young men and
women 60 annually to other places to
obtain this training at far greater ex-
pense than it could be secured at our
own home, and many who would take
the course if they could are deprived
of 1t because they can not get tn.
money to go away from home to do so

will, and why shouldn't she. You

and 1t won't work-that's what think

Licking Valley courier., 1921-02-03

There is, under the present efficient
managemnt of our school affairs, a
sum that will in few years, provide
for the building of the needed build
ings. Without bond issue we will
have to wait till this surplus accumu-
lates-a matter of some eight or ten
years. In the meantime your children
are being denied the educational ad-
spend much more than necessary in
order to educate them. ! have re-
quested the County Superintendent,
Mr.. Bernard Il. Whit, to prepare a
statement of the exact amount of rev.

as he has time to do so the Courier
Will publish the, amount so that you
can see just how. long twill require
to provide for the buildings.
Licking Valley courier., 1921-02-03

Which do you hold the dearest,
your money or your children? Which
will do them the most good, few
dollars or an education? These are
questions that are up to the people
of Morgan county now for solution
There is an immediate need for big.
\ger County High School building and
Ample dOrmitory accommodations for
the pupils of the county who must
attend the school here or go to some

1T resolves itself into matter of dol
