HIGH SCHOOL LEvrEs FOR 1880

at the beginning of their campaign
for the new high school levies last fall
the committee stated that the total
would not be in excess of 10 mills.
Last year 1920 appearing on our most
recent tax statements, the Union U
special levies appear as mills for
general school purposes and 5 for
building purposes, making with the
regular 10 mill levy 10 mills in all.
This year the special levies appear
ing on the ballot total up the sene
with the regular ten mill levy, a special
levy of 5 mills for the building fund,
a mill levy for general school pur-
poses, (since the board estimate it
will take less to operate the joint high
school than two separate buildings),
and third levy of / mill for equipping
the new building. This last levy seems
to have aroused comment. At no time
did the committee hold forth the idea

A general meeting Of the Vashon
Island Commercial Club will be held
at the leland Club next Thursday
evening, March 9. As this is the first
meeting OF general nature in several
months an unusually interesting pro-
gram has been arranged
The principal topic for discussion is
the ever interesting one of Takes
Two interesting speakers will deliver
their opinions on the subject. The
first speaker is to be the president OF
the Merchants Association of Seattle,
a prominent business man of that
city.
The second speaker is to be Horace
Chapman, one of the candidates for
Port Commissioner MIR, Chapman will
give some interesting and enlighten-
ing facts on the subject of the Port
OF Seattle, that institution which an
nually costs king County s375,ooo to
operate, and of which we pay our
share, yet which each year fails TO
show any advance over the previous
year.
1t is the Port Commissioner that
holds the answer as TO whether
Vaahon and cambridge Islands must
continue indefinitely with a dock that
is o stencil in the nostrils, and one of
the best reasons in the world for stay
ing away from the ferries that carry
tourists to our shores. Mr.. Chapman
aspires to become one Of those who
will direct the destinies of the Port of
Seattle. He can answer intelligently
any questions we may care to put to

auditorium, stage curtains, shades
for the entire building, certain
gym equipment, etc. All of the e.
quipment of the Burton building is
to be moved to the new school and
possibly part of the furniture of
the vashon building; however adj
ditional furnishings will be neces-
sary.
As to the local district pro-
positions, Only four of the dis
tricts this year require special
levy for the general operation of
the grade schools. None Of the
levies asked are out of reason.
In the choice of director for each
individual district lies the great
necessity for wisdom. This is not
the time to consider whether We
approve of a candidate politically
or rcligiously; the thing we must
give most serious last minute con-
sidcration is whether the candidate
will exercise good judgment, hon
csty and fairmindedncss in the
execution Of his duties as dis
trict director, and II he is made
chairman of his local board will
he administer the affairs of the
high school wisely.

AN EDITORIAL

To the most casual observer il
must be apparent that Saturday,
March LIST, marks the most inn
portant school election in the
history of the Island schools, and
upon each one Of us devolves the
duty Of exercising our right TO
voice our opinion by our vote.
School affairs are at the state
where wise Judgment is imperative.
We must practice strict economy,
yet not go to the extreme where
niggardliness will wreck our fond
est dream, that of our new high
school. In the matter Of the levies
for the high school. The three
mill levy for general school pur-
poses is for the actual operation
next year, salaries, light, fuel, etc.
This is one mill lower than we vot-
cd last year. The five mill levy is
the balance needed for completing
the building. Before the bonds
were voted VIC understood how
necessary IL would be to vote shis
amount this spring. The one mill
levy is for the furnishing Of the

HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL

definitely under way within the next

through the News-Record by the
Lumbermens Printing Company OF
Seattle. This company specializes on
high grade ANIMALS, and each year
publishes large per cent Of those put
out by Seattle high schools. They
turn out work of high type, and IL
is n matter for congratulation that the
local school was fortunate enough to
have the annual printed by this par
ticular company at very reasonable
figure.
TO Mr.. Earl I,ightner, one of the
officials of the company, is due the
credit of securing the contract for the
high school. He felt that the first
annual put out by the school should
be outstandingly good, and he also
wanted his company to have the
printing of the first annual for our
high school!
The engravings are to be made by
the Western Engraving Company, a
firm that is considered good enough
to make the engravings for some of
the university publications. Negotia-
tions were carried on for the company

much interest in behalf of the high
school,

ceremony of laying the corner stone
of the new high school at 3 p. m,

interested in the schools will make q
special effort to set aside that after
noon and be present on this occasion.
A splendid program is being planned
which will be definitely announced in

In addition to the interest of the
laying of the corner stone, this will
provide an opportunity to get close

do more than take care, Of the con-
struction. This special levy of one
mill requested really amounts to re-
quest for the authorization of the ex-
penditure for furnishings for the new
building the one mill saved from the
general school purposes fund
If the building is to be finished,
equipped and operated during the next
school year it will be necessary for a
favorable vote on these three levies on

being that by voting them our taxes
for Union U will be no higher than
for the past year, simply divided up
