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.
