Show School Clerk Reviews Financial History of District i rious properties is considered maintenance, and is not included in is report. Only such items as capital outlay and debt service should ,D . considered in this article. In addition, the maintenance costs for is same period amounted to $221,258.85. The district has financed the entire expansion program, together th tne operation of the schools, beginning with a local levy of 12.5 ills back in the early twenties. It was lower than this some years id was never higher until 1934 and 1935, when the levy was raised to .73 mills, and was again dropped to 12.5 mills until 1939. At this ne it was necessary to add 1.35 mills for a period of three years to mplete the expansion program on a P. W. A. Project, which provided il at the Government pay 45 per cent of the construction costs. vr Obviously the Board of Education should be commended for their urage and vision in an effort to provide facilities to advance the ;ial welfare of our boys and girls. True, we invested many thousands dollars, but the dividends in educational values began to pour in i-)m the beginning. The report at the close of the school year 1918-19 1918-19 indicates that sixty-nine students graduated from the four high lools in the district. In 1938-1939 there were graduated 316 students. Further evidence of the need of secondary schools is apparent in the lowing comparison: Enrollment Enrollment Total 2S4.iear Census Grades 1-6 Gardes 7-12 Enrollment 23-1924 4759 2794 1734 4528 38-1939 5386 2619 2395 5014 627 Plus 175 Minus 661 Plus 486 Plus 13.17 Inc. , 6.26 Dec. - 38.12 Inc. 10.737c Inc. 1 i Note the decreased enrollment in grades one to six. This is alarm-5, alarm-5, but nevertheless a fact. Nation-wide statistics support this con-i con-i . tention. The varied and enlarged program offered in our secondary schools has encouraged a decided shift into these classes. This vast expansion program in our district can be justified from any angle we may choose to argue increase in census and enrollment, inception of the junior high school, and many other requirements that have come into being since our expansion program was instituted. Some of these requirements are as follows: Physical Education State requirement and available to all. Instrumental Music Band, orchestra, vocal, etc. Home Economics State requirement and available to all girls. Manual Arts, Farm Mechanics, Auto Mechanics, and Agriculture Typewriting and Commercial Departments Available to all. Health and Dental Program. Transportation. Libraries Well-equipped facilities in every school of the district. Many other reasons too numerous to mention can be offered in justification of the program involving the expenditure of the many thousands of dollars shown in this statement. The two schedules offered, namely, "Record of Bond Transactions" and "Record of Expenditures for Capital Outlays," are true pictures of the condition up to June 30, 1939. To our patrons and readers, may we invite your careful study of matters concerning your school system. The Board of Education, its clerk and superintendent, solicit your inquiries from time to time regarding re-garding the business of the schools. Visit our offices, ask us questions, become conversant with the true conditions that actually exist. Discredit Dis-credit unreasonable rumors and establish facts. This type of cooperation coopera-tion from our public will tend to strengthen rather than discredit our school system, the one unit of our social structure much responsible for the perpetuation of our democracy.
