These supplies are expected to be here this week, and will probably be in place for the new high school to open up in earnest next Monday morning. Don’ t forget the special school meet ing that has been called to meet at the school building on the 20th o f this month for the purpose o f voting a tax to meet the expenses o f the additional teacher and equipment for the high school. It waa thought best by the school board to meet these expenses this year a* the tax levy is not m ale until Dec ember, and in this way distribute the tax over a longer period, and not make it necessary to vote a burdensome tax at the regular school election in the spring. With a corps o f six efficient teachers and a fine start made toward a ’ ’Stand- ard High School,” Stayton bids fair to soon be on the school map at least. Give your school a boost.
