NEED MORE. SCHOOL
ROOM SAYS BOARD

\ Notices have been posted by the
White Bluffs school board calling .
special election for Wednesday, June
is, for authority to build $4,000 unit
to the high school and permission fo1
the board to borrow the money for
that purpose.
The increase. in the number OF
school children, particularly in. the
grade school, is more than can be
properly taken care of in the pre-
sent buildings, and after considering
various plans for taking care of the
situation the board feels that a new
unit to the high school will be the
most practical and economical thing,
II authority is given the board to 60
ahead with the plan, it is proposed to
move the seventh and eighth grades
to the high school. There. is a ten
dency everywhere to 90 this and to
call the seventh and eighth grades a
junior high school and these grades
will benefit through having high
school instead of grade school in
structors.
In the high school, as it is at pre-
sent conducted, part of the students
are without supervision part of tine
time. If the proposed unit is build this
will be corrected.
The board is asking for permission toi
spend $4,000 on the addition to the
high school, although they feel it will
possibly not require quite that amount.
According to the present taxable valu-
alton, the district is permitted legal
indebtedness Of $3s,oO0. The present
indebtedness Is $4,000. Three years
ago it was $4,000.
The proposed unit is to be built over
the gymnasium and will be part Of
the original plan of the high school.
All local help will be employed as
far as possible in the construction Of
the new unit, and the board members
say they will be glad 10 discuss the
situation with any one interested.
The election will be held at the high
school and the polls will be open from
l p. m. until .. m. 81
