THE QUALITY STORE
Uth iiumt b being manifested
la the niitfr ot scenting a new btgb
school building tor La Grande and
numbers of tb parent mho, by the
rr, are thoee moat Interested la the
mntal and moral rrowlb of their
biy d are Tisitln the achoota
to ascertain for themselves the condi
tion of the school, This Information,
gained at 3m band. Is the very best.
No o who baa- visited the high
school baa been beard to My that a
sew building is not needed. The con
gestion is such and the resulting con
fusion is so rreat. that best results
cannot be obtained. We need new fa
duties, and even if the course of
study remains unchanged, the present
facilities are far from adequate. It is
the duty of every parent and taxpayer
to visit the schools and see for them
selves the present conditions.
