ADVISES AGAINST
PATCHIKHOOL
L E. Wakcman Says City Needs
Large, Modern School Building to
Take the Place of the Present An
tiquated Building on West Side.
Since tho school bond election on
Tuesday there has been considerable
comment around town regarding the
Washington school, many cltliens
stating that Instead of patching It
p that a modern school building
should bo erected In Us place. L. E.
WnV-nmnn. cashier ot the Farmers &
Fruitgrowers bank, has furnished the
following statement of his views.
To tho editor: Will you please per
mit me to express my opinion through
your columns a3 to tho advisability
of building an addition to the Wash
ington school. I think the school
board will make a grave mistake to
attempt to remodel an antiquated
mnd out-of-date school building such
as this. It is only a costly temporary
expedient, as there will bo as great
er greater need of more space Inside
year, or possibly two at the outside.
Putting In new heating plant and
other chances to make the building
aoro sanitary Is good policy; any
further expense on this old building
I consider poor policy.
This city needs now a large, mod
ern school building capable of taking
tare of the needs of the future and
do away with putting patches on old
ones. The growth ot Medford has
demonstrated that not only are tho
"Washington school grounds totally
inadequate as such, but that they are
tn the wrong location for the pur
pose. Wo ried new schools Instead
of patches on old ones. The school
board would do well to secure now
an entire block of ground so to bo In
readiness to e:ect a suitable school
building next year to take the place
ef the present Washington school,
and sell tho present site or use It
for other public purposes. I think
the school board will leave them
sclres open to severo criticism If they
do otherwise.
