Communication

Mr.. Editor
l read with much interest Judge
Henry's article on a high school
building for Cambridge and while l
like to agree with all Judge Henry
says and writes, 1 must admit that is
the weakest article the Judge ever
wrote and no one knows it better
than the Judge himself.
will be willing to wager that he
tore that article up dozen times be-
fore he finally consented to put it in
print
Judge and 1 were school boys to-
gether, and he was not only consid-
cred the best mathematician in the
school, but was the best, and many,
many times, he has come to my res
cue when life looked dark and
dreary
But my how times have changed,
for after looking at the figures he
mentions it would be difficult to
make me believe now that the Judge
could do an example in short division
How he could sharpen his pencil to
figure that we could build high
school to take care of 500 boys and
girls to cost $4,000, or less, is a
puzzle.
1t the amount Judge Henry sug-
gest is ample to put up high school
building to take care of 500 scholars
and teachers. then we have made an
awful big blunder in asking our peo-
pie to subscribe $4,000 for nurses
home, when the number will not eX-
coed Is or 2E nurses at any one time.
he h1nccinn
stow upon children is to give them
proper schools for learning, where
the light, ventilation and safety are
assured them
Dorchester County has a popula-
ton OF % 600 people, and the inter
est on a bond issue for $3.50, 900
would be about 25 cents yearly for
each person.
Toe small ladies and gentlemen to
bubble over.
Give us what rightfully belongs TO
the boys and girls even if we have to
make sacrifices, and we will never
regret it.
The old seminary is a disgrace TO"
a high school building, d regular fire
trap and the Ventilation not as good
as exists in the County jail Vote
for the bond issue, and give our chill
uren what they deserve. Don't try
to save a few dollars by depriving
little children of their rights. They
will thank us now, and all through
life, and everybody wants the love OF
