If every taxpayer in school district Ho. 1 would visit the high school be tween now and the date of December 11, when th annual tax levy In made, there would be one of the luries at tended mi-o Units ever held in this city, and the result would be a tax levy suf ficiently litrge to provide for a hlh school building to.be completed by next fall.. It In almost criminal neg lect upon the part of the patrons of . our school In their Indifference to ... ehn matters and its 'equipment. Ln Orando, a city of 8000, and the rec . ords will show that not six parents tiavo visited our high school this term. Of course, we know we have one of the bent superintendent!", and us effi cient a corps of teachers aa any where In eastern Oregon, but we do not realize tfrie Injury we are doing ouf achool by not providing sufficient room to carry on the work a It should be."" We venture the assertion that out of a committee of 20 businea men se lected at random, who would spend an hour in the highschool rooms, not one could be found who would not support enthusiastically a movement to. secure enlarged quarters. ; It may be news to some to be In formed that we are now quartering 120 high school students In what was originally Intended for a general as- eerably room, thus depriving the gen eral school of a prllvlege that should not be denied them and on the other tiand It simply provides a temporary makeshift for the high school. . Every , one knows that as a commercial prop osition La Grande cannot afford to be tlmjy regarding her school facilities. La Grande must provide the best pub lic school In the county. (Jnion county Is entitled to better achool facilities than we now enjoy. In view of the fact that It does not look possible toTccure a college, but It Is possible to secure a county' high SCHOOL i lie logical aui limit! ui . 4. uu ty high school cmiWI be solved by La Grande and the entire county Joining hands. La Grande of necessity, must have another achool building. Let us build one large enoush to aocommo dtte every student of the county and equip It with a laboratory, gymnast urn, with machinery and tools to car ry eut Industrial fen tares such a nre provided by the law making county high schools possible.' Tench the growing boys how to han dle tools. Tench the Klrls how to cook nnd keen house. La Grande could well afford to build and' equip such a build Ing. Twenty-five tho.usuml dollars would do it and the. .savins i main tnlnlng out present high school wouM more than, equal the tax to provide the Interest on the $25,000. The county tax to maintain the school would be small. Leu Than one mill would do It. and see how many thousands that now leave this valley every year now Icavtiif ' thta valley every year would remain and the parents would have their children with them. This combination would result In Vnlon county having the very best school In eastern Oregon. Let us start the movement by voting a tax that will give us the. building next month and start in the campaign for a county high achool. It Is such a mu tual Wending of Interests there will be little opposition. . egates are expected to attend the fifth session of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, to convene at Wash Ington on December and continuing throughout the two succeeding days, Is a complete evidence of the deep Inter- eat taken In the vital question of wa terway Improvement. The expectation Is not only based upon the member ship of the congress a membership constantly growing but upon the of flclal notification from governois of states, muyors of cities, presidents and secretaries of agricultural. Industrial, financial and trade organizations and on notifications from local associations organized for the advancement of the cause of waterway Improvement. .' mm.
