YEARS has such an
important measure
come before the
- citizens of Milford
as the referendum for the bond
issue, making possible the
building of a new elementary
school. The opportunity for
such a vote was years coming
and If it is now lost, may
never come again, because the
appropriation will be used by
another town, eagerly awaiting
the outcome of the decision
here. Whether you are a par
ent or grandparent, or whe-
ther you have no children at
all, you do like to point with
pride to the educational build
ings of your town. So long
the school buildings in North
Milford have been a sore spot
in the hearts of the parents
whose children must go there
for their first years of learn
ing. Instead of clean and prop
erly ventilated rooms, which
give a healthy atmosphere for
the boys and girls, they sit
between four walls, some of
which were built in 1910, some
others in 1887, with all the. an
tiquity of their years plainly
visible. The social column
may seem a strange place for
this plea, but there is no pro-
ject within our scope so impor-
tant to the citizens as a good
school system, properly hous-
ed. Almost the first thing a
visitor wants to know about
is the school, what buildings
comprise it, and what rating it
has in comparison to other
schools. The morale of the
teachers and pupils in the past
years has been fine, and sur
prisingly so. when they know
how inadequately housed they
are. July. "a will be an inn
portant day in Milford and one
that the coming generations
will remember with thanksgiv-
ing, or one they will want to
forget as the day their fore
fathers, thinking only of
themselves, sold their birth
right.
