CONTKAS'IV FIXE ('III IM H I S A MENACE TO EYE-SIGHT WITH "POOR HOI SE" SCHOOL lniMissihle to Throw Light Over Left Shoulders, as Doctor Say It Should Be. By LACY FAUST, Monroe badly needs a new high school building. In the first place, if a man is looking for a place to live, the Ill's! thing he asks, has the town good schools and churches. Monroe has good churches and paved streets, but the children of Monroe have lo go to a county home to se cure an education. The roof leaks, and who could study with water drip ping from tho ceiling. The building can not be heated sufficiently lo he comfortable, and no one ran study, and not be comfortable. The old building can not he re modeled so as to overcome all ot tnese Mulls or to properly ventilate the building. The doctors say that in studying the light should come over the left shoulder. Bui in this imihlini: the windows are all in the front oi I lie ioo'ii, and instead of I lit1 light coming over the left should r. (lie students are facing a ilate. null ing every student's eyivi.

We have tine paved streets, churches that would ( do credit to any city, modem busl- ness houses, and handsome homes, but a dark ami dismal poorhouse for a high school. If the parents place 'education so low, then cannot they , expect the pupils to do the same? The boys and girls of to-day are the cltlzees of to-morrow.
