Because their parents have insisted

reducing the surplus from $1795 a year
ago to $1548 today. According to the
estimate of the board, the cost of re-
pairing the roof of the high school
building will not be less than $1500.
This will exhaust the surplus. Other
repairs and incidental expenses are to
be provided for. This will Increase the
expenses for next session to about
$13,000, or to about $2500 more than
the expenses of the past session. It Is
evident that the school will open In
September with nothing in the treas-
ury. As taxes do not come In until
December or January, the board will
have to borrow money for school ex-
penses during the first three or foul-
months of school. Of course, this can
be replaced in January. 1909, but If
the income next session is ajwut the

About 80 per cent of the pupils ex-

though It is larger than was ex (tec ted,
considering unusual number of hin-

ence of roost of the parents concerning
the effect of these hindrances upon

Now, the people of Orange are at
a point where they must choose one
of two propositions; To Increase the
tax rate for the schools to 50 cents on
the $100; or, to have a school of six
months' session after 1908-1909. If
the people have any use for the

tbe required average on one or more
subjects were not promoted. Of the

failed for the reason that under the

impossible for them to do the work.
