to be collected had been paid in which
is included the taxes by the Illinois

Grenada Votes Bonds to

Demands.

almost every town in Mississippi the
size of Grenada has much more
modern structure. Certainly there is
no room in the present building for
a department of business and com
merce, something highly essential for
both girls and boys. Only about tif-
teen per cent of the high school
graduates ever go to college. hence
it is all the more important to see
that the students who go out from
high schools have some training and
equipment that will equip them for
the business world. Too many are
lust turned out as graduates with
out having had any training at school
that will fit them to go to work at
once to earn livelihood. Then, too,
there is no room in the present build
ing for domestic science and several
other things regarded as highly nee
essary.
Now that the bonds have been
voted, the citizenship of Grenada may
rest assured that diligent efforts will
be made to see that the money is
wisely spent and to see that the town
gets the very best structure possible
for the money invested. Arguments
about good schools and the import
ance of giving the children every ad-
vantage and opportunity would APP
pear to be useless in Grenada.
