0 GOLD AND WHICIE J ae aa EDITORIALS ae ae 'N' A new High School building in Sutter. Think of it! Wl1at an im- provement for the town, the schol- ars and all concerned! And this is really being seriously considered by the Board. And it's high time, too, for the reasons which we will now set forth. ln the first place our present High School building is not large enoughg decidedly 11ot large enough. There is no assem- bly room, in fact, NO room in the building large enough to seat our scholars. This building was, in the first place not erected to take the responsibilities of a High School building. It was formerly built for the grammar school, and as such no provision was made for laboratories, they had to be planned after the building had been finished and the room was decidedly scarce so the laboratories are small, the apparatus is not of the best, no provision made for a source of light and heat within themg in fact there is no way to light any of the building. The ventilation is unhealthily bad, in fact, there is NO ventilation ex- cept the windows, which method of ventilation is sometimes worse than none, as a draft is more injurious than bad air. As I said no provision for pas- sage from one room to another has ever been planned and the pupils of one room are continually tramp, tramp, tramping through another, thereby greatly disturbing the reci- tations which are being conducted there. Why this continual tramp- ing? For many reasons, but most important, THERE IS NO LIBRA- RY in the school. It is impossible to keep what few books we have from being lost as long as they are scattered around the schoolrooms. And it is this latter reason why pu- pils most frequently chase from one room to anothcrg they are seek- ing books. This would not occur if we had a library and passage halls. Again. There is no office .for our Principal. If some one wishes to consult him, he must do it in the school room before the pupils, in hall way, or what is worse, in the laboratory. And who is going. to come on business to see him, knowing, if they do, that their busi- ness will be made public in this way? Againg there are two organiza- tions in this building, the High and the Grammar schools, with no one overseer at the head of both and you who have ever had dealings in such matters know how hard it is to keep peace under such conditions. The Grammar school pupils are from the locality, the High school from the district: so there is a natural antipathy between the two which will not cease until a new building is erected. g And speaking along the same line, it is not always beneficial for young children, such as attend the primary and grammar schools, to associate with and play around or .among High School pupils. There is great danger of their getting hurt, which is liable to cause friction between our High School authorities and those of the Grammar School. Now in regard to what it would cost. We are a rich district. An unusually rich district, so rich that a tax of 5 mills for one year would build us a 312,000 school house. Think of it! Compare it to other schools. Why, there is not another place in California. but has a mod- ern, up-to-date building. And they
