The time has come when Delta
should discard the old log schoolhouse
and build more suitable one. The
present quarters will soon be too small
to accommodate the children, and
building OF some kind will have to be
secured. 1t lies with the voters of
the school precinct to say how large
structure they are willing to have
erected, for in the event of a building
being put up bonds will have to be
voted and a maximum sum specified.
We suggest a meeting of the citizens
of the precinct In Delta some evening
to discuss the question in its different
bearings. BY all means let us have a
building of some kind.
