SCHOOL HOUSING SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE— of the serious problems facing the Nyssa O NE school district at the present time is hous ing facilities for the great many new students. Many new students entered school all during the present school year, all the way from one or two up to 13 per week. Most of these students were the children of new settlers who came to make their home on the Owyhee project. The new school building, first used in Janu ary 1935, was built to replace the plant destroy ed by fire in the summer of 1934. The equipment and housing facilities is designed for a student body of approximately 350 students. At the close of school this year the enrollment had reached a figure of 560 and every room was over crowded, with teachers unable to handle larger classes. If the present rate of increase in enroll ment keeps up, and there is every evidence that it will, the enrollment when school starts next fall may reach 1,000 students. This is an im mense enrollment for a town the size of Nyssa and is a heavy burden for the taxpayers. School board members are wrestling with the problem now. With the large enrollment ex pected this fall, the housing facilities will be far short. Extra teachers will have to be hired and with the present facilities it is going to be diffi cult, perhaps impossible, to maintain the present high standards of scholarship. This increase in enrollment is not a natural condition; but is brought on entirely through the rapid settlement of the Owyhee project. This w.e are glad to see and every child has a right to the very best education available. No child will be, nor can be denied the right to attend school. It is their right as Americans and it is up to some one to provide the facilities. An effort has been made to get help from the federal government in meeting this problem, but up to date very little encouragement has been received. Nevertheless it would seem that the only possible solution is either help from the federal relief funds or from the reclamation de partment. What makes it a particularly knotty prob lem is the fact the new lands will not be assessed for a period of four years, and all that time the old land, established farmers and business men are expected to shoulder the burden of educat ing the children of the new settlers. This they would be glad to do if they were able, but con ditions have not been too smooth in the past few years and to add to the tax levy would be in tolerable in many cases. Our only hope seems to lay with the federal government. District No. 26 must have help in housing these new students, equipping a build ing and carrying on the expense of the school. The district asks no help in educating and caring for its ow’n students, but to double the enroll ment of the school in less than a year, with no addition to the assessed valuation o f the district means that outside help must be secured. It is hoped that some way will be worked out so that the Nyssa school can grow and expand as it nor mally should under the impetus of the settlement o f the Owyhee Project. COMMENTS BY CLARK WOOD And if you reap where you do not sow, Uncle Sam will get our dough. — + — A hick town is one wherein the stewed rube sobers up on stewed rhubarb. Even Nebraska’s one-house legislature prob ably seems at times to consist of one house too many. Women, more and more, are goin^ into pol itics. One can’t be sure whether politics will be purified or the women corrupted. One is getting pretty well along in the sere and yellow if he recalls the time when motor casualties were unknown.
