Issue of $225,000 Is Not Too
v Much. We Should BuUd
Large Enough to Relieve
the Crowded Condition.
The following resolution has been

the . Executive Board of i Local 1222,
United Textile Workers of America in
regard to the $225,0H) bond Issue for i
schools in the city or ixiiieorn, wnicn
la to be put before the voters of the
, city soon:-, . ' v '. ' '
The city needs more school 'room
r tor the children that are now going to
" school, not counting the great num-
v licr that will start to school when the
. . next term of school opens.
There is not a. man or woman .In
' the city that Is not anxious for their
- children to have as good or better
an education than they themselves
have.- Ware all Interested in the
,'' future welfare of our children - and
are ever ready and anxious to do all
that we can for them. - ' ;-
' In the present bond issue we all
, - have a -chance to make it .more con-
venlent for the children that are -at-v-
tending the schools and for the ones
"" that will start when school , opens
' again in ibe Fall. 1
-We need more school -i-rwom .; and
s must hare it unless we want our chil-
ai-eU 'to- JtrowTip'' ta'1niniut''nsui,w(
. manhood In ignorance. Should we
ignore the littlfr ones that God has
given us to brighten our lives and
i make our homes happy?
Some people may think that a -bond
. Issue of $225,000 is too much to be
put into schools at the presnt time.
Why not build .enough room now to
take care of the needs' of the town for
the next six or eight years J The pres
, ent bond issue is large enough for
' . that.'':' '--'-'':. r W.-:- ;" '"'
Should we not have room enough-In
our city schools so that 50 or 60 chil
dren will not have to be crowded Into
a "room that 30 ought to be in? If we
. "want our children to-do - their .best
while at school we must prepare to
. relieve the crowded rooms that we now
have. There is but one way to do
' that Build more buildings, and make
; additions to the present buildings,
t .A new bieh school should be built
.-' and located at a more convenient
" place. ; The present high school could
then be nsed for a graded school.:
