the district school where it is prac­
ticable to have the high school
branches taught. 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.
