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

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

provided by the law making county
high schools possible.'
Tench the growing boys how to han

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.
