T he statem en t th a t the Union high school d istric t is paying the
cost of the outside stud en ts and th a t th e cost per stu d en t for the d istric t
is greatly increased by the fact th a t 172 stu d en ts from outside the d is­
tr ic t are attending is answ ered in th e follow ing figures w hich are tak en
from th e records and on w hich estim ates a re based for th e future.
T hese figures show th a t not only do th e outside stu d e n ts pay th e
cost of th eir education but the tuition they pay actu ally helps to reduce
th e cost to th e d istric t for its own pupils who pay no tuition.
The inference is clea r th a t if the outside stu d en ts a re refused th e
cost per pupil w ithin th e d istric t will necessarily be increased and
th e re is left no way to m eet it except by an increased levy for high
school purposes.
Our levy a t p rese n t is 8.6 m ills, or a little over eig h t-ten th s of a
cent. T he addition of 3 m ills w ill pay off th e proposed bonds, in te re st
and principal, in an estim ated period of 13 years. T he bonds, if voted,
w ill be for 20 y ears and payable serially a fte r the first five year period,
m aking the average life of th e bond 13 years. T he board has a bid on
th ese bonds a t 4% cents. It looks like a good investm ent. It puts the
d istric t in shape to m eet th e alm ost ce rtain increase in population for
th e next ten to tw enty years. In th e m eantim e, p erh ap s w ithin five
years, th e te rrito ry of the Union high d istric t will be absorbed into th e
g re a te r P ortlan d w hich, for educational purposes, will be a financial
advantage, for they w ill ta k e us over ‘‘lock, stock and b arrel."

Explanation
I
T hese figures rep rese n t w h at the m erch an t w ould call a book
value In the case of the high school th e ap p aren t profit is not an actu al
cash profit to the d istric t but is w hat th e d istric t would save in cost
per pupil. It Is figured on a basis of present costs so th a t it is an e s ti­
m ate as applied to th e fu tu re over a period of 20 years.
T hese figures are p resented to show th a t the outside pupils actu ally
pay th e ir way and in the long run actu ally reduce the cost per pupil
in th e high school, both for them selves and those in th e d istrict.
T he d istric t in figuring th e cost of tuition for o utside stu d en ts is
allow ed to add the cost of tra n sp o rta tio n and in te re st on fair value of
investm ent. So th a t the tuition from outside pupils ac tu a lly helps p ro ­
p o rtionately to take care of all in te re st on bonds, o u tstan d in g w ar-
ra n ts i?tc.
A re g u la rly called m eeting of the legal voters of Union high school
d istric t No. 2 is called to m eet a t the high school a t 2 p. m., on S a tu r­
day, Ja n u a ry 29, 1927 to select judges and clerk s of election and open
th e polls for th e bond election as specified in th e legal notice published
in th e Outlook. The polls w ill be open u n til 7 p. m.

Principal Cannon has been asked
iny questions relativ e to th e pro­
sed bond issue and has asked for
3 privilege of an sw erin g them in
lay’s Outlook. Some of these are
ggested by statem en ts in con-
huted a rtic le s in today's Outlook
w hich atten tio n of rea d ers is

The questions and Mr.
nnon’s an sw ers are as follow s:
3. Do outside pupils discontinue

i. We have not lo st stu d e n ts and

3. How long h as it been since

nt and applies only to Union high
nool d istricts.
3. W hat will be the re su lt when

A.

the people will determ ine. It

3. Is the need for enlargem ent
w or could we handle th e in-
?ase next year w ithout building?
We could not handle th e in-
sase for next year w ithout addi-
nal room.
3. How can we figure th a t m ore
idents w ill decrease th e average

e taken ca re of w ith a less ffost

3. In la st issue of Outlook
■ntion w as m ade of sta te aid.
hat aid is possible from the
ite? A. Some of us have visions
j of a Ju n io r college b u t th is will
' not be possible before we have 500
, stud en ts in th e high school. The
! sta te aids In Ju n io r college work.

Q. How would excluding outside
stud en ts raise th e levy in th e
1 Union Hi d istric t?
A. It would
] raise the levy becau se we w ould
; lose the tuition m oney and th u s
I have m ore to raise in o u r own dis-
j tric t.
Q. W hat are th e ad v an tag es of
1 having the outside stu d e n ts? A.
1 The advantages lie in having m ore
I courses, b etter equipm ent, evenly
: divided classes, o rch e stra, band,
' ath letics, cafeteria, etc.
Q. Have we tak en outside s tu ­
dents in at o u r expense? A. No,
i not since th e law p erm its us to
i charg e tra n sp o rta tio n , in te re st on

I upon th e fair value of investm ent
in the high school buildings to our
I total cost of m ain tain in g th e high

Q. How does th e bond issue a s ­
sist th e farm er?
A. It w ill p ro ­
vide a good high school for his hoy
and his girl. I do not believe “A
C ritic” or "A 60-Acre F arm er"
have children in school. I can n o t
conceive a p are n t denying his c h il­
dren or his n eighbor's ch ild ren as
good an education as possible. It
fu rth e r assists th e farm er by keep­
ing th e average costs down, also
the m illage levy down.
Q. Is our building larg e enough
for ou r own stu d e n ts? A. Yes, but
if we denied th e o u tsid ers our a v e r­
age cost would be n early >300 in ­
stead of >200. In in creased n u m ­
bers the o utsid ers pay th e ir w ay in

Q. Does th e levy add a burden?
A. How can it when it provides
far additional stu d en ts th a t will
low er th e average cost and keep
our m illage less?
Q. How long will it ta k e to pay

m ill levy m eans on th e assessed
valuation and not th e rea l value.
Q. Should we refu se adm ission

an o th er high school? A. It would
be a decided m istake to do so. ‘‘A

condition of us paying 14.7 m ills to

m eans we save 3 m ill» by having

Q. Should people vote who are
not ta x p ay ers? A. It is q u ite pos­
sible the m oral rig h t to vote for
