The Iloseburg Rotary Club in no : uncertain tones went on record at their regular noonday luncheon to- 'day favoring the school bond ls- jsue to come before the voters of this city next Saturday. ! It was the personal opinion of every member present that . the schools of this city should be given every possible assistance, in a fin ancial way, to brinj; them to the highest standard of efficiency and that it would be the policy of the notary Club to hi 'p in every possi ble way to maintain this condition throughout the city, and county, If j necessary. j Fully realizing that the standing jof the local schools would he great ly impaired should the bond issue fail to carry at Saturday's election all members pledged themselves to give the matter the fullest support and assist In every posible way to put the issue over with a bang. The club Is confident the people 'of Itoseliurg think too much of tho high standard of their schools to let the matter go by default, as j was the enro in the recent :;rh m1 el ection held In Roseburg. but on the contrary will take an active inter est In the bond issue Saturday that ! ..ill leave no doulit In reference to the standing of this city toward tho I public schools for the chihlr-n of this district. !

Recently, however, its membership lias been slowly decreas Iiik as the results of the death or re moval of the MKed veterans and for a considerable time It has been I'm possible to hold meetings and It has now been decided that tho post should disband. J ilraliiiin.l'ost, which was named for 1 Win. II.

At that lime lieno post had a very lariie membership and because of the number of veterans living in Can onville. It was ibt'tiied best to form a post there, and consequently this a.-tioti v.as taken. The iirst officers 1'hoseti were John C:,sto, com ma niter ; W in. T. I.' e, senior ice commander; l.ouis A'h.

The effect upon tlie Knsehurs 8. hools should the proposed $10,- 300 bond issue fail to carry Is a very j seriousness nit-.tler In the considera tion of the Issue which Is to come be-1 fore the voters at tho special school j election to bu held on Saturday. April 1st. The question of effect resolves' itself Into the issue ot whether or, not the present school system ahull, be curtailed or shall be allowed to : continue with such extensions audi improvements as the bond issue i would make possible ill the way of re- j pairing and Improvlnc buildiiiKs, i ctiiilpmcnt and apparatus. There Is no question but that the failure of the bond Issue means cur-I tailment. Tlie Instructors In tho three1 departments of music, home cronnni- les and manual Iralniim. have not been employed for the coluiilK year ' as bavo the Instructors In all other1, departments. j The school board ! emphatic In! its statements that it cannot, continue these departments If (lie bond Issue is not voted. There Is no K"ttiiiK: away from the fact that certain re-: pMis must bo made. The board has no alternative. If the money does not cotne from outside uld. then It will be necessary lo bcKln cutting from tlie expense of oiieratinK the lehools by eliiniimtlinr sonic of Its lines of study nud doliiK away with sufficient teachers and expenses to provide funds for the improvements. This conlltiKcncy tins greatly: aroused tho students of the schools. ! These young people are wlde-nvvake , lo Hie real seriousness of Ihe sltiiii-! thin. They perhaps better than nny other, understand the real value if tliese departments and tin y are work ing earnestly to retain their schools at the present standard. The situation has been made the suliJiH't of several themes written in Hi- KiikIIsIi (b p irtiueitt. The follow ing theme on this subject shows clear ly and concisely the attitude of the students and alliances some appeal ing arguments: "The three main obbwls which might be fulfilled with Hi" bond Is t;e are: Assessments, improvements , i:lid repairs. There an' certain re- j pairs and needs of the various schools of the city which must be made with out further delay, and, if the bond' I, sue does not carry, it meant that Important departments In Hi" lilth , school must be eliminated from the course of study, In order lo provide; moro money to be used for the nee-es-He:i ill the grail" schools, und thus Hie standard of the whole id neat Ion-j III svstetn of Kosehiirj will b low-1 . red. Thus, Hie passing of the bond . .iu" Is -s. rv to uphold the standard now maintained by the Iloseburg public schools and to nils" the standard.

The elimination of music from the curriculum would not only be a detriment to the high school but to the Krado schools as well. Music is a great talent, and Is dis covered and trained by the teachers of music. While if this talent lies burled for several years, the chances are that It will ulways be burled. There would lie no orchestra, nor glee club, playing bnd singing good music under a good leader, and the students would, as a result, drift Into the low er class of music, and would not en iov good music, because they had not had the opportunity to lenrn how to appreciate It. What would Hoseburg high bo without tliese departments? "Hut tho hlgn school Is not the only school which would he olfocted. " There will be tipproxluiutely 60 stu- us leave high school, while nbout 100 will enlcr. Where will they go when the assembly hn.ll Is filled now? Tho lumsou school Is without un as sembly. The Fullerlon school needs many Improvements in sanitary con ditions. In the Hose Jiull.llng there aro several rooms without lights, and two without heat. All the grade schools need Improvements on tho play grounds and various minor but Important repairs in the buildings. Should these conditions be unremedi ed or remedied at the sai-rlflce of another school? Should schools be deprived of these needed repairs and Improvements, In order to vSo a few cents? No. "Therefore), If tho honsl Issue does not carry, it will mean thut the de partments of the high school, men tioned, will bo eliminated for the sakii of tliese repairs and Improve, nienls, which will mean that the standard ot the schools will bo low ered, and many will go to other cities where the educational Institutions pre better. Kenieiuber thut the chil dren of loday will bo Ihe citizens of loiuorrow, and should we not think ol the future of Hoseburg, and make it tlie best possible?" Since the unusual conditions havii preiulled. beginning with 1911, most of the first class school districts In ureLtou have received at one or more times from their freeholders extra taxes or i.ond assistance to maintain their schools. Hoseburg lias never received any spcrltil aid for Its sstem. Financial help was requested last November but very Mill Interest was shown by parents.
