McMillan Painless Denisfry La Grande National Bank Btdg Both Phones EXPLAIN SCHOOL QUESTION Continued from page. 1.) scheme: . .. . - The county, authorities shall pay to each high school In the county, that conforms to the Btate requirements, (40 apiece for the first 20 pupils. $35 apiece for the next 20 pupils,, uud $30 apiece for all other pupils. This would have given our high school this year about $4500, enough to pay all salar ies.' Since any child In the county who had passed the "eighth grade was free to attend we ' should soon have the largest high school in eastern Ore gon. All tho trouble about collecting tuition from outside pupils would van ish. Of course, the people of the county , i will expect proper facilities If we as them to adopt this plan. This would put the cost of maintaining high schools upon the county instead of upon the cities and would give every boy and girl In the county the right to attend. ThlB has given Eugene the largest high school In the state outaide of Portland".' Did you ever consider how many of the young men who graduate from our high school stay here? Many people say It Is because there Is nothing for them to do. This Is a great mistake, for there are four drug stores, the Pal mer mill, the railroad shops, the su gar factory and planing mills who are always eager to secure men who know something about their work. Gradu ates of the La Crande high school can not apply with any hope of success be cause they have no laboratory training. Surely every one believes that we should have a laboratory, but why do we need a new building? There are seevral reasons, each of which plainly shows that It would be folly to Install a laboratory In anything but a new structure; first, a laboratory will cost too much to be plac'ed where It will have to be moved after A few years, as it will become much damaged In the change; second, a room fitted for a laboratory must be equipped ' with many closets and arrives, connected with some water system, making the fitting up of temporary quarters cost nearly as much as one properly built; third, a first-class laboratory would not be bought for an old class room. Chemistry "has not been taught In the La Grande high school for three years, so If It Is not taught next year, one whole class will have to say through life that they completed a high school course without even hav ing a chance to take chemistry. This is so also of last year's class and this year's, for no freshman or sophomores are allowed to take it. Why do we, pupils of the La Grande High school, not deserve our rights? Those things which students In other places receive? If the voters of La Grande do not decide to build a new building it will be the best way they can possibly do to knock La Grande. In nearly every high sthol ther Is a laboratory. Among the people must be partly taught by a 1' course are mecnanics. doctors, chemists, drug Inventors, agricult'- r- rt for ,f the f -lb in srme i) studies t beneficial jry are bot ,, agriculture -miFlsy cannot.be ers and engln a moment w' men of - WOW' t a ta big ,. and Union, whope "t.-Erther arc no larger ihun La tirnnde'a have each a good facilities for teaching these practical subjects as the La Grande lilgliVhool. Baker City and Pendleton both hnve laboratories, -why should we not haw the same privileges? MAKJORIE MVALL, 1 JOE WILLIAMSON'.. SARAH SMITH, GEORGE CL'RRET. CECIL BOLTON', Committee.

The new bridges, according to County Judge Henry, will be the Rtrv ker bridge north of Imbler, a steel structure to cost" in the 'neighborhood of $6000; and a new wooden structure across Willow creek at Tall ' Glenn's place. " ' The "Red" bridge at Lower Cove, the Harris bridge south of Imbler, and the Morelock bridge at the mouth of the canyon below Summervllle, will be repaired. The county' court will spends about $8000, realized from the one-mill road tax, in macadamizing a stretch of road. This amount of money will build about two miles of first-class road. The commissioners are divided as to thi proper place to do the work, but will probably agree at the next term of the court, to be convened the first Wed nesday In next month. Mrs. J. E.
