are sadly lacking in the P~lentywood
Schools even though the Parent
Teachers Association has helped
wonderfully in providing Playground
equipment. For those who have at
tended the Parent Teachers programs
and the School Entertainments at the
Farmer-Labor Temple, we do not
need to mention the need for an au-
ditorium in which to hold these very
important gatherings and around
which the life of the School should
be centered.
The last but not the least import
ant point in this article will concern
the present physical condition of the
Main building and the heating plant.
One of the chief reasons why a night
man is necessary during five or moro
months of the School Year, is because
the present heating plant is too un-
certain to be left alone for any
Length of time in cold weather. Much
money has been spent on this equip
ment inorder to keep it in running
order until the day when a new and
modern plant could be placed in a new
building. There is little question but
what this heating system will have
to be overhauled before it can carry
us through another winter. Sending
steam to the outlying buildings in
wolves a great waste in lost heat and
because of the temporary nature Of
these buildings we are probably u.s.
ing twice as much coal as we should
for the amount of room space we heat.
Just as in the case of an autombile,
so it is true in the Ease of a school
building. When is it advisable to re-
pair and spend more money for up
keep and when is it not? The Main
Building is in need of much repair /
which n can see after inspection.
This does not mean that the building
is not disable at present and it can 4
no doubt be repaired and give good
for several years. Consid-
ering the need for more building
space than now exists and new fea-
that W. do not have, the Cit
zens of Plentywood should be highly
Interested in their School and its i'm
mediate future. Our School is our
'est Community investment.

SOME REASONS WHY
FLEETWOOD NEEDS
A NEW SCHOOL HOUSE

were made into three. This neces-
sity makes two very long narrow
lNoms, difficult to instruct iii and
more difficult to ventilate properly.
We have had forty seven pupils in
one of these rooms this year. Next
year it is quite certain that there will
be more than fifty boys and girls
in the seventh grade. 1t will be nee
essary to move a partition, cut win
dows in and make two more of these
long narrow Classrooms with seats
placed too close for healthful condi-
tins. In the High School we have at
least two Classrooms that are be-
low standard as to lighting and neces-
sary size. One of these is the result
Of building a partition to make two
rooms out Of n and the other is the
Science o which has had to be a
basement room and is always below
standard in lighting qualities. The
Sewing room in u Home Economics
Glasses has to be done in an made
quately lighted room. These rooms
would make fine toilet, shower and
locker rooms in a new School Plant.
Although we have a very good school
library we do not have a desirable
place to locate it. The library is at
present in the office and pupils must
either be kept from getting library
material when they want it or con-
%ferences with teachers and other
pupils are being constantly Interrupt
ted by those seeking library material.
Our High School belongs to the North
Central Association of Secondary
Schools and Colleges and one of the
most desired features of such a Mem
Der School, is that it shall have a good
Library suitably located. Ours is not
suitably located. All this does not
take into consideration the fact that
we do nc have room for those new
that this School ought to have
provide proper training for those
boys and girls who do not go on to
School after Graduation, or for those
pupils who would stay in School and
not drop out because we cannot offer
them what they want or are interest
ed in.
The first of the seven Cardinal Prin-
laid down by Educators is
The School has tried to do

SAD BUT TRUE

Some one suggests that the only
way to drive is with the idea con-
stantly In mind that the other
fellow may be an idiot" says the
Los Angeles Times.
This liz sad but true. Reckless
ness seems to be part Of the motor
ing code with millions Of Americ-
an drivers. And the inevitable re-
suit is that, every year, IS or 80
Thousand persons are killed and
hundreds Of thousands injured in
preventable automobile accidents.
The tragic part Of 1t Is that the
enormous annual waste of life and
property is almost entirely I'M
necessary. The unpreventable &C.
cldent is rare as the dodo bird.
Someone is incompetent or reck-
less in the case o. practically every
collision, great or small, between
motor cars.
The blame may be laid in two
places. First is the apparent in
difference of many motorists to the
fundamentals Of safety. Second is
the lack of strict licensing laws In
this state to keep the incompetent
and reckless off the road, and an
accompanying lack Of enforcement

late pistols from the hands OF
citizens is TO erase tho armament
OF the criminal element from the
face OF the earth. Nothing, 1t
seems to US. Is further from fact ].
AS for the criminal. instead OF
using weapons he has bought and
paid for. he would Use smlgled
weapons. And nothing In history
proves that a Struggled weapon will
not kill an effectively as one pur-
chased over an open counter.
And, as for the private citizen,
he must go unarmed, unyersed In
the use OF the weapons his enemies
use-or else he must himself be-

We have had our fill of whole
sale law passing. Its sole result
been a vast increase in crime. An
anti-plstol law should cause a
celebration in gangland. It is
time we got back TO fundamentals
and, instead Of psssing laws that
react against good citizens, moder-
nize our legal system so that justice

THE "TAx-FREE"

At present there is much dis
cussion In many states concerning
municipality public utilities
operating on o tax free basis.
Irrespective of the legal problems
surrounding the question, 1t comes
down to this: There is no such
thing as "tax-free" utility or any
other business. If one business
escapes taxes, they must be shifted
to another And the customers of
the latter must then pay the taxes
that would ordinarily be borne by
the customers of the former.
This amounts tc discriminative
taxation. The laws that make 1t
possible are class legislation. That
one part Of our population should
help carry the taxes OF another
part, merely because their utilities
are operated by private parties
instead of the community, is out Of
line with democratic principles.
Every business should support
itself and stand on its own feet.
1t should compete fairly with other
businesses Of the same kind, en-
joying the same advantages and
putting up with the same dis
advantages. When municipality
owned ventures are unable to pay
taxes on the same basis as private
ones, they become q burden to all
taxpayers.

Editorial
TOO MUCH SPEED

1t was reported to us the other
day that one of Our claiming
youth" had covered the distance
from the high school to the tele-
phone office in Two minutes. For
the veracity of the statement we
cannot youch. We will promise,
however, to attend the funeral
when it occurs.
During this past year there has
been noticeable lack of those
who in the past cared more for speed
than for public safety. We are
sorry to hear that the disease had
again broken out. but possibly this
is only an Isolated case, not an
epidemic.
We know that we voice an un-
usual opinion when we remark
that there is not a more we'll
balanced, sane and sensible bunch
of young people in the country
than our Vashon Island high
school pupils We are aware of the
undesirable element which too
often behaves in a manner to con-
denim the balance OF the student
body, but this element is gradually
growing less.
Conceding all due credit to Miss
O'Mahoney for her management Of
the work connected with the high
school annual the business-like
method in which the pupils have
attacked the problems before them
shows a native ability and good
sense not gained from schools or
books, and truly remarkable.
So let's give the desirable element
among our young people the credit
they deserve, rather than Judge
them by the rough stuff the other
class is pulling off because they
have no better way of expression
We have a suspicion that if this
less desirable element had some
better way of making their pre-
sence felt they would not have to
resort to hoodlumism. All that
would be required would be a
good dose Of discipline now and
then, but that is a problem for the
deputy sheriff and the school au-
thorities to solve. We will give any
publicity to these matters that
they request. In the meantime,
however, allow us the privilege of
again repeating that as a whole
our Island young people can't be
beat!

FARM TRANSPORTATION VITAL

= "a
According to the American Farm
Bureau Federation, improved roads
have cut automobile operating costs
from ten to less than seven cents a
mile during the past few years.
In addition, our thousands of
miles of paved highways have
stimulated social contacts, accel-
Grated business and industry and
played an appreciable part in the
progress OF American civilization.
In most states adequate trunk
highway systems are now in ex-
istence. The vital need is for a
greatly increased mileage of i'm
proved feeder, or farm market
roads. But small percentage of
American farmers live on roads
which are passable during all
months of the year. AS a result
the farmer is cut off from his
markets, and local merchants lose
valuable business which good roads
would bring them.
American agriculture deserves a
fair deal II there is serious
farm problem at present, good
roads could materially help mater
tally in solving it by increasing
efficiency in farm transportation.
This would be of great value to the
town and city dwellers as well.
This state should provide its
rural sections with improved. all
weather roads as fast as the budget
will permit.
