is but a matter of time until the
place becomes the subject of jest
' from more wide awake people, its
citizens a a mass, become a laugh
ing stock and the town itself is
eventually considered an eye-sore
and a detriment to the grtut
commonwealth.
The best is none too good, a high
staudard' should be aimed at even
though the accomplishment seem
dillicuU and long in coming. No
one should be t-iitUfielJ ti "let
well enough alone" when there is
opportunity for betterment. The
old rut of indifference ami indolence
often mires whole communities be
yond hope of rescun.
The proposition that confronts
Buena Vista is: shall the
town go backward or forward?
With its citizens lies the answer.
To retrograde eventually means de
struction. There is need of a new school
bouse in this place. During a re
cent hard wind the scholars were
dismissed because the building
was deemed unsafe. The school
house is shabby and dilapidated, in
distressing contrast to the newly
painted churches.
Why not unite the Buena Viata
and the "Dutch Swamp" districts
and erect a new and more com
modious school building in Buena?
Greater good could be accomplished
more thorough work done and
better advantages offered.
If the idea is new to you, think
it over carefully. It is a question

A great nfany parents have not
the means to afford their ci.ildren
a col leg education and many a
girl and boy who is today attend
ing the Buena school will go forth
into the world's battles equipped
only with the knowledge gained in
this modest village school. Why
not give them all the advantages
possible? A new and better build
