Schools are Not Experiments But Are
Actual Upbuilding Factors.
One of the first questions that is asked by peo
ple interested in a community is “ W hat are your
School facilities?” Their decision to change their
home is based upon the answer to this question.
The better the schools the more inducement to
locate or invest. The necessity for providing
additional school advantages will attract those
desiring to change their residence, and the
prompt means taken to meet this condition is
one of the most influential things th at induce
them to locate in a community. If the school
advances from year to year they stay, if it loses
its efficiency or remains stagnant they leave.
It is not merely th at your schools are good,
they m ust be the very best to attract the home-
seekers.
