Use Telegraph Want Ads ISTAMM SHOWS WHY LOAN SHOULD PASS [Continued From First l"no] ! readily Understand. Hero are the questions—and the answers: A. Carson Btamm, president of tho Hurt tabu rg School Board, to-day an swered tho following question on the high school loan; What is the amount and purpose of this loan? "The voters are asked to authorize the School Board to expend $1,2 60,000 for the purpose of erecting high school buildings and buying sites for them. ■ Specifically, if this authority is given, the School Board proposes— "To buy ground in a central location | and erect thereon a high school for | girls; | "To convert tho Technical high ' school into a boys' high school for all I courses, and, when the capacity of the i present building shall have been reached, make the necessary additions thereto upon ground to be purchased out of this loan; "To enlarge and remodel the Camp Curtln building for the purposes of a Junior high school for the uptown sec tion; "To remodel the Central high school building for the purposes of a junior high school in tho central section; "To orect a junior high school on a lot owned by the School Board on Eighteenth street for the use of the Hill section. "AVhat is a ji'nior high school? "A junior high school includes the present seventh and eighth grades and the freshman class of the present high school. There are now eight years in the grades and four years in the high school. With the adoption of the | junior high school Into tho syslem, six , years in the grades, three years in the ! junior high school and three years in j the senior high school. What is the necessity for this building program? ! "Primarily, it grows out of tho con [ gested condition of the Central high school. This building was first occu pied in 1893. By 1900 its capacity had been reached, and then began the doubling up process and the trespass ing upon other facilities of the build ing. In 1904 some relief was afforded by the organization of tho Technical high school, which took, and continues to take, large numbers of the boys. In 1909 or 1910 the church at the cor ner of Sixth and Porster stress was purchased and used for the overflow for .several years. For the last four years double sessions have been neces sary—that is to say, half the pupils go to school in the morning and half in the afternoon. "The Central high school building lias a capacity of 550. It now has 1,050 | students. The situation in many re spects is intolerable, but especially be cause every pupil is on part time, both study and recitation periods being necessarily shortened, with the result that the standard of scholarship must obviously be lowered. In other words, < these boys and girls are being denied something which it is the duty of the city to give them and which they can never make up. "However, it is not only necessary to relieve tlie conditions at the Central high school but also to provide further accommodations for the primary grades. There is not a single empty loom in the Allison Hill section. There are only eight empty rooms in the up town section. Under the present plan of the board the necessity for other grade buildings in these localities will be avoided. How will this plan avoid the necessity for other grade build ings? "The organization of the three Junior ] high schools, taking, as they will, all ! the present seventh and eighth grade ! pupils and the freshman class in the j high school, will empty approximately fifty rooms in the grade buildings, i which rooms, of course, will be avail- ! able for nrimary pupils for a long time j to rom." Will the school tax be increased?; "The statement has been made sev- i eral times in the newspapers that it I will not be. I have never made any ! such statement, and I doubt whether any other member of the board has. j It can hardly be expected that the in- j terest and sinking fund charges on the loan can be met without some addition ; to the tax rate. One would have to be ! either foolhardy or have the gift of j prophecy to say just how this will work out. There are many elements involved, the chief of which, perhaps, is the real estate assessment upon which the tax is based. It is quite pos- j sihle that the School Board may be i able to get along for a year or two, or even longer, on Its present revenue; and, in any event, it would seem to me | that this loan would not require at any time an increase of more than a mill in the school tax. If the cltv continues *o grow and the assessments are equal ized, it may be that the board can get along with less. i "The primary question is, shall our boys and girls have adequate school facilities in order that they may enter into the duties of citizenship without handicap? It is the determination of the School Board to administer the affairs of the district with tho utmost economy consistent with the highest efficiency; and if the people want an adequate system, they will be willing to pay what it costs on this basis. There is a minimum below which the cost can't go, and this cost must be met bv taxation. Tho rate of taxation will depend upon the growth of the city and the amounts of its assessed valuation. Would any other plan to meet existing conditions be more economical? "The proposed plan lias been evolved after a long and thorough study on the part of the hoard, aided by its own officers and the best outside talent. Re cent I v the board retained as an expert Br. James 11. A'an Sickle, superintend ent of schools of Springfield. Mass., who was recommended by the best educational talent in the country, to make an independent survey of the situation. He spent some time here, going over the ground with the utmost thoroughness, and the proposed build ing plan is substantial'y that which ho recommended. In his recofnmenda lions he is in substantial accord with those made by Dr. Henry Snyder, superintendent of schools 'of Jersey City, and employed four years ago as an expert by the Board of Trade. "Furthermore, the plan has been ap- - proved by a committee of citizens se lected by the School Hoard, consisting of W. M. Donaldson. William Jennings Arthur D. Bacon, Francis J. Hall and George A. Shretner, who will continue to advise with the board throughout the building program. It is the judg- I ment, not only of the School Board, but of everybody who has studied the 1 situation, that the plan proposed is the best in every way and tho most economical to meet existing con ditions."
