YOUR SCHOOL AFFAIRS
Tin economy program put into operation by the pres­
ent school board two years ago lias greatly reduced the in­
debtedness of the district as well as lowered the tax levy.
Tin* total indebtedness of the school district at the end of
this fiscal year. June 30, 1935. will be approxim ately $18,000
less than at the end of the school June 30, 1033.
While the school district will not have paid off all the
bonded debt until 1944 the great strides in reducing the in­
debtedness has saved the district heavy interest charges.
Considering that the district has more than $40,000 in de­
linquent taxes the fact th at the debt has been reduced so
much is signiflcent of the budget savings being made.
The improvement in the school district debt is shown
by the following figures from the clerk’s report:

30, 1935—Bond debt $55,000,
outstanding (estim ated)
total .......................- ...........
$65,000.00
T hat this reduction in the school district debt has been
effected by economies put into operation by the present
board rath e r than added burdens on the taxpayers is shown
by a lower tax levy.
When the peak of school w arrants w as reached in 1933
the district tax was 23.3 mills; it was lowered the next year
4.3 mills to 18.5. This year it is 20.1 mills.
When the present economy program started there had
been little repair made on school buildings for a num ber
of years and they were reaching a ru n down stage. In
the last two years more than $5,000 in repairs have been
m ade to the school plants as well as m uch new equipm ent
added. When the SERA work is completed on the school
buildings this sum m er they should all be in excellent shape.
During the tim e this debt reduction has been going on
there has been no curtailm ent in the teaching staff. In
fact one new teacher was added in the high school due to
increased enrollm ent. There has been efforts by the school
board to raise standards in education by stiffening require­
m ents, adding to the school libraries, and by conform ing
more closely to the standards laid down by the gtate super­
intendent of public instruction and the university and state
college.
The present school board has other changes in mind
to raise educational standards in the district, one of which
is an “opportunity room ” for backw ard children. Due to
the fact th a t the board’s first consideration has been to
operate within its budget and also within its cash income
some of these reform s have had to wait. A nother year
should see more of them in operation since when the pres­
ent expensive repairs to school buildings have been made
there will be more money for books, equipm ent and in­
struction.
We m ake this statem ent at the present time because of
the fact th a t a school election is coming June 17 and the
patrons and taxpayers of the district are entitled to know
how their school affairs are being handled. The facts m en­
tioned here are the im portant and vital part of the school
business. We hope everyone will study them closely and
then m ake up their minds how well the school board is do­
ing its job.

TH E DANGERS OF A CHRISTIAN
(M att. 7:13-23)
“E nter by the narrow gate. For the wide gate on the
broad road leads to ruin, and m any enter th at way. But
the n a n o w gate on the narrow road leads to life, but very
few ever find it.’’ The broad and easy vacation type of life
lures many. The broad way th at most everybody else is
taking ought to be good enough for me, reasons one who
w ants an excuse for a few things th a t he knows a re n 't just
right. The way of easy m orals, com fortable living and soft
convictions is so attractive th a t we find it hard to look be­
yond it to the real goal of life. Energies are scattered and
m orale is dissipated by the loose living of the broad way
so th a t the narrow way is not found.
“Beware of false teachers in pious garb. Under black
coats they hide black hearts.” The flowers m ay appear
sweet but how about the fru it7 How m any things are
dressed up and recommended highly for the unsuspecting
person. W atch out for the motives of such teachers. Do
they love people so as to sacrifice gladly for them and thus
inspire others to greater living? Give them time to prove
them selves before you follow them to your own destruction.
Broad ways and low motived teachers m ake a fine combi­
nation to keep you back from a whole-hearted search for
life.
In this judgm ent scene the judge doesn't ask as to be­
lief In the Bible or Christ or anything else. He implies that
men know w hether or not they are doing the will of the
Heavenly F a th er and those who have not made th at will
their suprem e objective have missed the way of life.
