THAT SCHOOL PROPOSITION NORTH BEND, Ore., Fob. 1C -Editor Tho Coos Bay Times: Re ccntly thoro hns coino n proposition from tho County Suporlntondont of Schools In Coos County to lovy n Bpo clnl tnx in tho country districts to establish a high school tuition tuna, from which fund tho tuition of pu pils attending high school away from homo Bhall bo paid. Tho public high school Is tho most aristocratic Insti tution that America possesses. It is an Institution supported by taxing tho ninny for tho benoflt of tho fow. Sta tistics show thnt only nbout ono child In twenty entering tho prlmnry grades ovor gots into high school; In Coos County this porcontngo Is doubt loss ovon grontor. Why this situation exists 1b anothor question, but that It does exist cannot bo donlod. Just why tho country pooplo of Coos County or nny othor county in Oregon, should hnvo to pay a sp clal tax to cnnblo ono or two cull dron of tholr "district to go nway to high school, whllo tho ton to thirty children who never roach high school grado must put'up with tho lnforlor moans of an olomontary oducatlon, Is hard to understand. If tho Idoa Is that propald tuition will bo nn Incon tlvo for pupils to comploto tho gram mar grades In order to got tho bono fit of tho ctra tnxatlon ot tho dis trict, wo don't boltovo that tho prop osition would mako any wnrrantahlo dtfforonco In oxlstlng conditions. Thoro would still bo n fow pupils In terested to comploto tho eighth grado and an occasional pupil might go to high school who docs not now go, hut tho Incrcaso in tho numbor of pupils from country districts who would nt tond hlch school would ho bo palpably 1 Bmnll iib to bo nbsolutoly no warrant i for lovylng a tax on tho wholo district to support a high school tuition fund. What wo nood, not only In Coos County, hut nil ovor tho Unltod States, Is not largor or bottor high schools, but largor and bottor olu montary grades to steer pupils Into high school on tho ono hand or on tho othor to fit thorn for lonvlng school In tho grades with honor to thoniBolves and crodlt to tho public schools. It hasn't boon bo many yoars ngo but many of ua can rornombor wjion thoro woro but fow high, schools; two or at most throo doendoa ngo tho high school wnB an oxcoptlon nnd only thoso pupils nttondod it who wlshod to lit for cologo. Now ovory town nnd vlllago or any slzo, and ovon country schools, asptro to glvo a high school course in wholo or In part. Tho nmount spout ovory yoar now for high school support Is enor mous whon wo consider tho small porcontago of chlldron who ovor at tend thorn. Has thoro boon a corre sponding incroaso in tho offlcloncy of our publlo school work? An Increas ingly largo numbor of boys nnd girls drop out of school In tho grados and enter somo rormunoratlvo employ ment. Aro thoy any bottor fitted for this omploymont bocauso tholr town, city or county, had a high school which thoy did not caro to attond. Tho wrltor of this artlclo is con vinced In his own mind and is pro pared to convinco any falr-mlndod thinking person thnt tho woak link In our oducatlonal chain Is tho olo montary school. Mako tho olomont ary school vhat It can bo mado, lovy spoclal taxes to broaden its courses, and provide for it tho hlghost salarlod toachors wo havo, and wo shall not havo so many chlldron dropping out of school; and thoso who do drop out of It will do so with bottor prepa ration for llfo, whllo tho high school will tako caro of Itself through hav ing bottor prepared pupils than now ovor roach It. A READER. AS THE STORY GOES. Aogyptus, sir, had fifty sons, Danaus, fifty daughters, Danaus took his fifty girls And fled across tho waters, For thoso two mon woro deadly foes, At least that's how tho story goos. Aogyptus followod wltn nls sons And caught tho girls and father. Danaus cried, with mournful prldo, "To dlo, my dears, I'd rather Than soo you wod such boyB as thoso!" Now, that Is how tho story goes. Tho fifty sons at once proposed; Tho fifty girls said, Yes, sir." Dnnaus gavo each girl a gift I fear you cannot guess, sir. Ho gno to oach a daggor bright This was upon tho bridal night. The morning broko. 'Twas bright and fair; The sun shono on tuo waters. Aogyptus didn't hnvo a sou, Danaus had his daughters! Thoy said, "And now wo'll chooso our beaux!" At least that's how tho story goes. NOTICE TO PUBLIC. Notice is horoby given by tho Coos Bay Oil &.
