In short, the only expense volved in the creating of a high school, as far as the edu cational work is concerned, would be the sum necessary to employ one, or not more than two. extra teach ers. Now that is all there is to the high school proposition as far as burdening the poor taxpayer goes. Are you going to let us have this extra teacher, or are you going to say to the boys and girls by your vote that you cannot afford it? Are you, by your vote, going to say to them that if they desire to go far ther in their school work they will have to go to Crook county, or Grant county, or Lake county, or to some other county that can af ford a high school, because II«rney county is too poor to give them high school opportunities? The writer does not think any voter will say so for any of the reasons given. If he vote against the proposition it will be for other reasons, and probably for reasons which he would not care to give to the public. “Vote for county high school —Yes. THE F i t t i .
