UPPER VALLEY VOTED FOR HIGH
TAXES OR POOR SCHOOLS.

The observation-disclosures unanimous
vote of the people of the south end of
the valley in opposition to the High

room for argument. Those people want
ed to stay out of the proposed High
School district-and they are out.

tricts have tentative plans for Il school

made to support n high-grade school.

as good a school the people of the up

times as much. on account of the diff

School tax, they will be paying So or
more, or else have an inferior school.
This, added to their ordinary school
taxes, will crowd them to the absolute
limit of taxation if they compete with
othtr high school districts. And with
the greater part of their available ter

THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.

In their report to the various school
boards concerned in the recent vote on
consolidation, Messrs. Tidball and
Horne of the State Education Depart
ment say that there are two questions
of supreme Importance to be consider
ed when the question of providing
High School facilities is preached
These ultra-important questions are:
Fl. Are there sufficient children Of
High School rank to Justify the main
tenance of such a school?'
so. Is the territory to be served suf-
ticiently wealthy to support an accred-
tied four-year High School?'
This advice coming from men whose
line of work makes them thoroughly
c%onversant with school conditions,
should be taken seriously by people
who contemplate establishing High
Schools in their communities. Believ-
ing that these gentlemen know what
they are talking about, we recommend
to the people of Districts s, 10, and is
that they give serious thought to the
two questions above quoted.

district added. would give a total valu-
alton of S1,092.004 For very obvious
reasons, Encampment could no more
figure on including the Brush Creek
district in "A consolidation, than could
Saratoga, and there is no other terri
tory to be considered.
We do not pretend to be experts in
figuring out such problems as these,
and it would be of widespread interest
If The Echo will submit some figures
to show how a High School can be
maintained on a mi%llion-doilar valua-
ton. This would greatly simplify our
local problem of providing IL High
School for our young folks on Il valu-
alton of two and Il half millions.
