Up Apprpriatp fhntr Ijplp In presenting this, the eighth annual edition of the Spectator, to our friends and acquaintances, we wish to take this space and opportunity to thank those who have contributed to its publication. We have tried to make this paper representative not only of the High School, but also of the community. We realiz-e that its publication would not be possible, if it were not for the hearty support of the people of Cloverdale and its vicinity. We, the members of the Spectator ' staff, wish, therefore, to make it known that we appreciate what the patrons of the school have done to help us. (Haxatimt m b lEimrattmt In this edition of the Spectator we have devoted somewhat of space to the discussion of Cloverdale’s need of a new school house. In this department we have endeavored to set forth the reasons which will appeal most strongly to the taxpayers. We have shown that the cost will not be so great as to be a burden. We have shown, also, that the welfare of the children of Cloverdale absolutely demands a new building for their school. We are confident that when our citizens become aware of the real nature of the situation they will rally, unanimously, to acquit themselves in the same admirable manner in which they meet their other obligations, realizing that there is no other way in which they can invest their money to bring so sure and so abundant returns.

They argue that its curriculum is not such as to fit the graduate for making a living. They are unable to see the use of Latin, Geometry, Literature and many other subjects of like nature. Their assertion is, briefly, that unless a pupil intends to go to college for a profes¬ sional course, the work taken in the high school leaves him high and dry with four years wasted. We are willing to grant that the boys and girls who graduate from high school have neither exhausted the world’s supply of wisdom nor reached that supposedly blissful state where there is no room for improvement, but we do maintain, nevertheless, that when a pupil has done thorough work and has completed one of the prescribed courses, he is capable of continuing his educa¬ tion without a teacher to assign his lessons. We contend, furthermore, that he has found out something of the wonderful store of wisdom to which he may go as long as he lives, for instruction and inspiration. His mind, also, has been trained so that it can grasp facts and handle situations in a manner that will not only increase many fold his efficiency as a producer and as a member of a free democracy, but will make it possible for him to choose and enjoy the good things that he finds about him. In a few years when the influence of the steadily increasing number of graduates has made itself felt in the social and political life of the state and nation, the high school will be recognized as one of the strongest bulwarks of our commonwealth. 7
