Show THE QUESTION OF A registration PEE FEE since the question of registration in our local high school had been discussed pro and con and since I 1 am I 1 in n a position to know sonic some of the inside facts I 1 teal feel it my duty as well as aa pleasure to print these facts together with my views first I 1 want it understood that I 1 believe that if registration be chang i ed that ALL ALI should pay or I jadould ja hould should pay I 1 am in possession ot of facts that indicate indic nto that only about ono one third ot of the students paid prior to 1920 during the past three years the paid fees have increased jintil this year 90 per cent have raid paid or provided for or payment I 1 what becomes 0 of the money for teea fees until last year tho the funda ed have gone into the general owl i through distribute and out the entire county ithon investigation it was found that such buch money belongs to the school that makes the collection it la Is to be used by the school tor for improved conditions within the tho school do I 1 believe that a high school should have such a fund yes for the following reasons rea aona first the board of education Is composed of five members two who live in pan duitch it being the boards duty to got get the th 9 money and distribute it in the various schools they are always held to the very lowest amount that they can run on it you doubt this statement ement I 1 invite you to look into that amount is la otten often enoi the short of wh what at they actually need yet ft there are plenty of 0 people telling them the schools cost cost too much now let two members of a board be 9 convinced that your local school d neoda needs additional funds to keep the H school up lip to its present standard or try to add necessary equipment that q will make it better and immediately d the other members will vill bring forth a necessary additions for their bec section tion the tha result la Is simply this the board decides to tc got get along just as aa cheap cheaply ay d as aa possible an example la is right d before us the lioard board decided layt last spring to pay far a teacher of t music in high school and district 4 com combined Pined what qualified musician j 4 will come to tp Pon Pap gultch tor for that thai sal i ary th this ls la is only one case you ask how the board mot met the situs situa I 1 tion simply by paying out ot of the g registration fund the balance surely you cin can see that it if the I 1 amount spent spen t in your local high school hool la Is determined by it a board corn com j posed of three members rs living in other parts ot your county that it s la Is ne issar y that your local sc school hool has i a und rund to draw upon and keep I 1 i the si abol up to the average within tile the state you may argue that the taxes should take care of the salaries I 1 answer last year that could not be lone done through the board without P a tight fight again it the ordinary ex I 1 benses are met by the board there fa X are many that are not and the school ot must be able to draw from some source if it Is to keep abreast with the ever increasing ads all high schools and tol colleges leges throughout the lands have some such fund and could not get along without it do you want your school up on a par with the others in the tate state or shall we say it right t to charge a tuition after I 1 have paid my tax it you can got get some law that will give your school its needed funds to operate upon without the fee I 1 am with you under existing conditions your school needs the fees and it if it Is not fair to let the students who get ie ae advantage pay a small amal fee then I 1 am mistaken in my opinion n of I 1 fairness es what Is not fair Is to allow somo some IN to get the advantages to tor r which they do not pay I 1 dont believe tile the people of of pail Pan gultch are going to ta hinder their school from becoming one of the finest in the state the readiness with which they are paying the fees this year Is proof post poal tive of my conclusion one more word woid abo about tit your school you are approaching a school election I 1 tell the voters to keep knockers of schools or ti their sympathizers thi out ot of such office only live progressive olve bellavin bel levin s people should bo be considered at 0 POULSON |
