The Proposed School Bonds
Mr. Editor:

MI EdltOr:-
Having signed the petition for
referendum on the High School pro
position. 1 desire to state the reasons
for the vote which l shall cast
against it, partly for my own sa.i9
faction and partly in the hope that
other citizens may take the Sa'he
view and join in the same action.
In the first place, the present 10
cation is the best available one III
Cambridge. much better than the
nronosed sites in other sections OF
Cambridge which are far removed
from the center of the school populd-
ton.
Secondly SIS 900 or a lesser sum
iudiciouslv expended, will pay for the
additions and alterations necessary
tn convert the present building INT"
a school that will be suitable anu
sufficient for the needs OF the preseIs
and of many years OF the future. -
$4,000 will do this, why bona 'he
county for six times that sum?
The people OF Dorchester nave not
been niggardly, as charged by some
critics, in their support OF the puolic
schools. They acquiesced, most OF
them with qualification, in the hlgn-
or salaries provided for teachers and
school officials by the Cook bill, anu
sincerely desire that the school sEs-
tenn shall be established and mani
tanned on the highest standard com
patible with their means. Figures
furnished me show the school appro-
priations are much larger than the!
used to be while the school enroll
ment in the past ten years, mas
dwindled from 1882 pupils in 1913 TO
only 1878 in 1922. More than one
third of the county levy is for
schools. which amount is largely
augmented by the State approprIa-
ton, and this seems TO be reason
able proportion in view OF the many
other urgent demands upon the pup
Tic treasury.
Eve nif convinced that the removal
of the High School from the present
site is a necessary public enterprise,
l should still argue for a postpone
ment of such action until better and
more prosperous times. Without
dissent, the people have authorized
their bonds to be issued to take up Q
floating debt of $4,000, and are not
quarreling with another issue or
$4,000, already made this year, to
say nothing CT $4,000. issued by the
town of Cambridge But should
they not be permitted to catch their
breath before being called upon In
the same year to put up an addition
al $150,000.
Dorchester has a high credit, kept
so by the avoidance of unnecessary
bond issues. and this credit ought
not TO be weakened if possible to pre-
vent it. The same policy which
drives the individual citizen to econ
omy and retrenchment in these days
should be manifested in public affairs
also.

Our Bows at Saluda.

The football team of the high
school went to Saluda Friday after
noon for a contest with the team
of the saluda high school. While
they lost the game, they won the
respect and admiration of the people
among whom they were visiting.
Considering the fact that they made
higher score than has any other
team that has played Saluda this sea-

ord they made Friday. Let's stand by
our boys and encourage them. They
are manly set of boys who reflect
honor upon Edgefeld wherever they

cross for 100000 in Glasgow disclosed
the whereabouts of Thirteenth CEN
fury church ornament worth $1,000
which disappeared several years ago
from the Church of BDrgo Collefa
cato, near Aquila. Italy. The evil
dence presented " court was to the
effect that the cross was one of the
most valuable antiquities of Italy, and
was thought to have been struggled
out of the country by an art collector.
The ice cream vendors effort to sell
1t at Il 100000 figure aroused the suspi
ciOnS of an antiquarian because of
its greater intrinsic worth. The Ital
ian cOntended that it has been in the
possession of his family for genera
lions, that 1t had been lost in the
earthquake at Messina and had been
recovered by him from the ruins.
