IMMORAL DAY
ExERCIsEs IN HOLLY

Memorial Day was ushered in
Tuesday with bleak winds and a
low temperature. The exercises
conducted by the American Legion
were simple and brief Only two
OF the Grand Army of the Republic
are yet living here, A. G. Thomas
and Silas v. HOrnbeck, John Walton
having recently removed from town.
Leslie Weigand, commander of
the Merle C. Rockwell Post, had
charge of the program for the day.
There are now forty members of the
Legion here, only part of whom
participated Tuesday.
The Legion. the Odd Fellows. the
Rebekahs. and the Mems Quartette
accompanied the two old veterans
OF 6l-85 in their parade at the
cemetery at ten in the morning. In
solemn line of march the company
passed from grave to grave, decOrat-
ing the graves as they went on.
Finally gathering about the en-.
closure that holds the mortal re
mains Of Merle C. Rockwell, the
company came to q halt and brief
special services were held. Corpor.
al Rockwell served in the u. s.
Marines and fought and fell in
France, his body being brought
here later. Both the local organiza-
tiOn OF the Legion and our grade
school were named after him.
AT his grave. DR.. Cantwell offered
fervent. earnest prayer for the
country for which the Legion had
offered their lives. Commander
WeiEand read the memorial address

There will be two floors in the

Just above the ground, and second

All of the corridors and stairs are
to be concrete and each section OF
the building has ample toilet room
facilities.
Much attention has been given to
the promotion of self-hygiene, where
sanitary precautions and simple
mouldings of wood, stairs, masonry,
etc, have been followed to avoid the
collection of dust. and to permit of
everything being readily kept clean.
The lavatories are entirely of ce-
ment: also floors. walls and ceilings
and there is nothing that will be
left undone to insure a healthy
class room and to promote the ply
steal resistance of the pupils.
All the rooms are to be heated by
meanis of fresh air from the outside,
warmed and blown into each room
by means of blower system: and
in turn, foul air is drawn out of the
rooms through ventilators In the
roof.
All class rooms are lighted from
one side, thus relieving the pupils
eyes of annoying cross lights, and
good teaching is more easily effect.

High School.

The consolidation of the country
ard town schools has very nearly
doubled the school population. To

with the present facilities one can
very easily see is physical impos.
ability. so with your approval we
propose to build this building.
There Is no SUCH thing as over
PRODUCTION Of school houses. There
never has been ana there never
will be. Schools must go on. and
they will. The present system OF
bonding pays for schools oversa per
s,nd Of price tieflation. as well as In
fiation, and fortunately for the peo
ple of Holly and the adjoining coun-
try the school board has managed
with unsanitary and crowded condi-
tions until right building prices
are now obtainable.
Education is so fundamental in a
democracy that the American peO
pie will not always house their
children in overcrowded, poorly
lighted. unNentilated rooms.
f With the return Of interest rates
and the bond market to normal

in building greatly reduced and, We
estimate, near pre-war prices, we
will see many districts start build

luce the type of produce commen-
surate with their Investment.
The plan of paying cash for
schools Is not even considered by
communities any more, since the
opinion prevails in the case of per
manent Improvement, that not on
ly the generation that builds, but
also the generation that enjoys and
utilizes, should pay a fair portion
OF the initial cost. so that the cost
to each person owning $1,000 90 worth

will be $l.10 for the new $75WOW

payers themselves. In the mean
time. the greater educational ad-
vantages will mean a greater popll,
ition and greater assessed valua-

payment,
The only abuse that might come
to the present form of bonded debt
is to build poor, cheap building
that would not Outlive the debt.
To avoid such catastrophe fall
ing on the future citizens Of Holly
district. the Board of Education Is
planning and requiring first-class
and permanent construction. The
child who comes frOnra well appoint

school at least as good as the home
from which he comes; and the child
who comes from a neglected home
