i tiehip to put the facts before the
c public so that an intelligent ballot
may be-east. ?
ft has been .the 'earnest deiira n*
those in control of the school to make
it equal to the best in: the county and
" to meet the state requirements for
am accredited setiiol a? abon aa possible."
Wta*fhers and
^ requirements for the'most part. We
"have the required. library and teaching
force. Our laboratory for Science
?t??and- Vocational Agriculture has. been
accepted for the first year to' be aup
.:f" ~~p!StHSnted as we go further; The state
require? 45 pupils in ti)2 high school,
. < . i thia year- we have enrolled -48 and
have 22 in the iefqntjrgrade to enter
high school next jrear and only 12
finishing- the Eleventh grade. Our
IF' total school-enrollment for-this year
is 148. Our average Has been greatly
cut down Jiy -the epidemic that we had
??? ia schodl'last ItU and Dy tne Daa
weather this??prmgr We hare -eA-the
census in our district nearly '200 of
school axe slid if the parents will cooperate
we should -make an average
- of more feua 150.easily. 1 am pleosed
to bring these facts to the attention
of those interested. 1
V, Now another point-arises- that must
be met or we shall lose hot only what
-?r wo hase gaiaad, but > will fall- even
below what our school has-been for a
' number of yesfra. Our local tax rate
ia the lowest that any local tax district
in the state levies. There are num
' ? bar of places that the tax rate is
<1.00 while ours is 10c. The state
will not help a district without a tax
s "rate equal fo^tho average of the
~r state. Furthepnore the Income from
our present rate will not" pay the interest
and sinking fgi>4 on our present
indebtedness? Under these eir?
- cumatances the state wji) not lend
