J AS. MUCKLE & SON
Department Store St. Helens, Oregon
Does St. Helens need a new
school building? It behooves
every parent, every resident, and
every taxpayer to give this ques
tion serious consideration before
the annual school election, Mon
day, July 10th. This is a ques
tion in which is involved the wel
fare of the boys and girls of this
town, and vicinity. This is not
a matter of indivdual, or per
sonal enterprise; but it concerns
every man woman and child,
directly or indirectly, in and
about St Helens. It is not a
matter that should in anywise be
considered, or connected, with
the exploitation of any private
interests whatever it is primarily
and solely a matter of education.
The question that is before the
people of this community is, are
the educational facilities in St.
Helens at this time, what they
ought to be? Is the school plant,
grounds, building, equipments,
etc, sufficient for our present
educational requirements? Are
our boys and girls here given as
good educational opportunities
as we can give them at tnis
time? Are the boys and girls of
St. Helens having as good a
chance to obtain an education as
boys and girls in other like com
munities are having? If we can
not answer these questions in the
affirmative, would the erection
of a new school building help to
solve the problem?
It seems to me that this is an
opportune time for the erection
of a new school building, for
several reasons; one is that more
room is needed than we have in
the old building at the present;
there are only four rooms in the
old building and five teachers
have been engaged to teach here
next winter, and if the popula
tion increases a3 we hope it shall
within the next year or two,
there ought to be from six to
eight teachers in the elementary
and grammar school. It does not
seem that it would be a wise
policy to add to the present build
ing; is a poorly arranged building
for school purposes, besides the
ground upon which the present
building stands is entirely too
small for school purposes no
good school plant can be provided
without ample grounds for child
ren to play on; the best lessons
they get in school, in selfgovern-
ment and democracy are learned
upon the well regulated play
ground; no school can be com
plete without ample playgrounds.
Secondly, St. Helens ought to be
able soon to have a high school.
Many towns in the state not any
larger than St. Helens are main
taining good high schools; other
in this county are doing good
high school work, from which
young men and young women go
each year to some of our institu
tions of higher learning. The
present building is entirely too
small for both the grammar and
high school.
The modern farm, store, mill,
factory, etc., must be equipped
with the latest and beet machin
ery in order to be operated
successful in these days; and so
the school of to-day needs the
most modern school machinery
for the best and most efficient
operation.
In view of the fact that more
school room is already needed
and that still more will be need
ed for his h school work within 1
thanflttvear or two. anrl

&iA,UAAA.IlaJlt,
that a tract of land of about ten
acres ha3 been offered for school
uses, it seems that every parent
and every other person interesrf.il
in the education of the bovs and
girls of tbiscommunitv. would 1
in favor of a new building. How
ever, this is a question that thn
people of the district must de
cide for themselves and it ought
to have a serious consideration.
J.H.Collins.
At the last meeting of the
Council an ordinance to restrict
saloons to the bocks where the
business of the town is at present
located wa3 voted down. Council
man Philip beinar the
to vote for its final passage.
The only object at present in
turning this down is to leave the
field open for the securing of a
license for the new building in
the owner thinks for a mlnutf,
that the killing of this ordinal
gives him a chance to get
license to conduct a saloon there,
he is mistaken. The ordinance.
was a good one, aad should bv
passed. Saloons must be tt
gulated. and there should I
something in the ordinances to
keep them in a bunch, so V
