In addition, there is no question that a central high school will do more to improve and develop the West Shore than any one other thing. Hundreds of peopie will not go to the West Shore because of the lack of high school facilities and those who do go insist that their children be sent to the Harrisburg high schools at the expense of the local school OFFICERS John E.

I boards, in orcer That they may have the four years 'course to which the law entitles them. The Situation In a Nutshell The Lemoyne school board has is sued a statement on the loan subject to their people which sums up the situation in general for all the boroughs an communities affected, showing that the new school will be a big improvement and not any more expensive than the present unsatis factory system. It is as follows: "The undersigned school directors of the Lemoyne School District here by submit the following statement for the Information of the voters of the Borough of Lemoyne, who desire to vote at the coming election upon the proposed loan for the establishment of a new Joint high school In the school district of Canip Hill, Lemoyne, Wormleysburg, East Pennsboro and West Fairvlew. Our present High school is a high school of the third class, with a 3-year course, and a nine-month term. "This year it will cost our district about $2,100 to maintain it, this sum Includes the tuition of four pupils i from our last year's graduating class who are attending the Harrisburg high school, (Pupils who graduate from a school of the second or third . class, have the privilege, under exist- I lng laws to complete their education ! at a first-class high school, at the ex -1 pense of their school district. This | right, and this expense cannot be evaded by the directors of the district.) ;The tuition In Harrisburg per term I for each scholar from an outside dis trict is $71.25. ' "Our next graduating class Includes i 10 scholars, if these take advantage fallowed them by the law, in the same j proportion as the last year's class, and ' complete their education in the Har rlsburg High school it will increase I the expense $498.75, which will bring ; the cost of maintaining our high school up to about $2,600. The school ; directors are powerless to prevent this increase, the law prescribes their | duties and they are lawfully bound to perform them. This expense will In crease as our graduating classes in crease In number. "Every room In our school build ing is now occupied, it will be only a very short time until we will have to make provisions for a larger school building unless we go in with a Joint high school. By taking our high school out of our present building. It will accommodate our grades for a number of years to come. Proposed New Joint High School "To participate In the new Joint high school of the it is proposed to issue bonds to the amount of $lO,- 3 20, bearing 5 per cent, interest re deemable in SO years. "The expense each year would be: Interest on bonds. $516; sinking fund to redeem bonds, $34 4 ; estimated cost to maintain 40 pupils in Joint high school, $1,800; total, $2,660. "According to the above estimate, which we consider conservative, It would cost our school district about the same as It would to continue under our present system. "The new school would enable the pupils to complete their high school course within 4 years in our own schools. As It is they must attend the Lemoyne high school three years and the Harrisburg high school two years to get a first-class high wcnool educa tion under present condition, and It costs the district to keep the pupils In school five years where It would only cost for four years if we had a Joint high school. "The board of directors will cheer fully furnish any further information that may be desired by the voters. "WM FETTROW, "CHRIST L. EBY, "I. L. UNGER, "W. D. MUMMA, "L. F.
