FOR
School Board Orders Election
At a meeting of the school board
of the llallettsville Independent
district Tuesday evening their pre-
vious action in ordering an election
for a tax of 40 cents was recon-
sidered. An election was ordered
to be held on Tuesday, May 7, for
the purpose of submitting to a vote
of the taxpayers of this district the
question whether or not there
shall I»e levied a special tax of 15
cents for the maintenance of the
school ror an eight months
before and an additional 15 cents
for the floating and liquidating of a
bond issue of between $10,000 and
SIS,000 for the immediate erection
of a spacious brick and stone
schoolhouse, making a total of 50
cents.
It is well to bear in mind that
the special tax of 15 cents hereto-
fore levied in this district was
abolished last month through the
creation of the Independent dis-
trict and if the maintenance tax for
the same amount fails to carry oil
May 7, the school will not be able
to run longer than five months.
This means that the salary of the
teachers would have to be greatly
reduced and it is doubful if any of
them would teach for another term
under such conditions. In a word,
the defeat of this tax would make a
backwoods institution of our school
and we feek-sure that our people
will not allow such a calamity to
happen.
1 n view of the great good that
a new school building would do
both from a business and an educa-
tional standpoint we think that it
is just as important that the special
bond tax of 15 cents should carry
as the maintenance tSx. For more
than ten years have our teachers
and pupils been handicapped by
inadequate school buildings and it is
certainly time thatka halt be called.
A new brick binding with more
and broader staff ways andDess in-
flammable material means far less
danger from fire than is the case
with the otd structure, and may
mean the saving of the limbs or
lives of many children. The bene-
fit accruing to the mental and
physical health of the children
from better lighting, ventilation,
and seating and more healthful sur-
roundings generally such as will be
afforded by an $18,(KM) brick struct-
ure, would in time outweigh the
cost of erection. A new building
would further attract many pupils
who would otherwise not come here
and it would be a credit and a finan-
cial benefit to the town and its
vicinity in more ways than one.
Any property owner who votes
against the tax merely votes against
his own interests, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that enough of them
will look at it in this light to give
the spedial tax of 30 cents the
necessary two-thirds majority on
May 7. Remember, ye friends of
pupae education, 'it will not be
child's play to carry the tax,' there-
fore it is up to you to exert your-
selves in every way possible to as-
sure its victory.
Below is published the official
notice of election, which all con-
cerned should read carefully.
