Now that the election is over
and it has been decided that the
district needs a school house and
the bonds in the sum of $20,000
are to issued for the building of
it, the further steps necessary in
the matter should be carefully
taken, though at once. The
main matter seems to be the
election of a site. There are sev.
eral available and several differ
ent opinions as to the value of
each. In this matter the Mist
has nothing to say. We wanted
a school building provided for,
and now that the main object
has been accomplished, it is im
material to us where it is located.
A meeting will be called for the
purpose and everyone will have a
say, and that is as it should be.
The disposing of the old build
ing will be another matter that
will take time and it ieems im
probable that a first class high
school can be ready by the com- J
ing term of the school which will j
commence in September. The I
old building and grounds are very
valuable, ad there are eight lots,
and the building is in the best of
condition. Perhaps it will be ne
cessary to hold it for some time,
and, as it is not large enough to
accommodate all the pupils of the
district, put up a part of the new
building, say four rooms, using
a plan to which four more can
be added when the old structure I
is disposed of.
But all of these matters and
all other that are of importance
should, so far as i3 possible, be
settled by a vote of the legal
voters of the districts. It would
not le advisable to go ahead and
put up a $20,000 structure at the
present time or until what in
terests the district now has are
disposed of. j
