The Question of a new high school

sentiments for and against building
were nearly balanced; but there waa
little room to doubt, before tt e rote
was taken, that a jtreat majority of
thoae present and entltec to rote
were In favor of building. All aeemed .
to recognue the great need of a
building. The objection urged were
chiefly on the plea of economy: the
burdens already oa the district, the
pieaent high roat of building materials
and labor and the hope of a great re
' ductlon in a year or two. Against
this waa eet forth the unfit and even
dangerous condition of the old build-

those entitled to vote on a bond pro

voto.
The board w'll undoubtedly feel
Justified by Uil a vote in preparing a
doflnlte proposition for building, to
submit to the qualified voters of the
district at a special election; and, In
fact, feel under obligation to 'do so.
The board Is understood to be strong

CIVIC CLUB NOTES
AH over our country today women
re taking a great Interest in civic
find economic affairs; and It should
be so for women by long training In
flomestlc affairs, in adjusting home
conditions to the bread earners income
have learned how to manage and
economize.
Now that nationally, they have
jcome into full citizenship and have
no longer' the status of minor child
ren', it ia their duty to become cogni
zant of public affaire and give part of
their time and Influence to the better
ment of their community, their atate
and their country.
In doing so they are benefiting
their children by having finer in
fluences and surroundings.
Public sentiment wields a great
power and the concentrated action of
the best women in any community
must make itself felt
Some of our boys came home from
over the sea and we all felt a great
relief but there is always a warfam
wage against unsatisfactory con-
to
ditions. How may we be of service
and give a push to ever?' thing that
majr be better for our help? We are
"U to answer that question as we
go along.

One small city of the ra'ddle West
has a club of women whose Influence)

I Tt e social and intellectual life of
