AN APPEAL FOR OUR SCHOOLS
Board of Trustees Urge Passage of
Bond Proposition.
To Τ Η Κ ClTIZKNH (IK W Λ X A H ACHIK :
Η avtng been selected by your suffrage as trustees of the tdu
cational interests of the city, we deem it not out of place to appeai
to your sober judgment upon a question that materially concerns
the welfare and efficiency of our Public schools.
Tomorrow you are going to have an opportunity to vote upon
the proposition of a bond issue for school building purposes, and
the result of that election will determine to a great extent what
the public schools of Waxahachie will be for years to come.
The time has come in the history of our schools when it is ab
solutely necessary that something be done to relieve the crowded
conditions. Something more than a year ago, the last room in the
building, the janitor's room, was fitted up and has been used as a
regular school room ever since. We cannot possibly arrange for
more rooms with our present buildings. What is to be done? With
the opening of another session, boys and girls will necessarily
have to be turned away unless additional accommodations are se
cured. It would be a sad commentary upon our public spirit and
especially upon our healthy educational interest for it to be pub
lished abroad that chiidr»"ii wcr·· 'κίιικ ?>>r admission at the
door of our public schools and had to be denied for the reason that
there were not sufficient accommodations. We are face to face
with a proposition that must be met or the children of Waxahac
hie will have to suffer.
We do not believe that any argument is needed to convince
you that our accomm idations are wholly inadequate to the de
mand* made upon them. This is universally admitted. However,
w«> wish to cite one Instance to confirm this beyond ar. ν reasonable
doubt. There have been enrolled in the first grade this year about
115 children. At each of several desks in this room three children
are seated. A part or the year two teachers have been compelled
to occupy this room. Think, for one moment, of the "onfusioii
that would necessarily exist where such conditions obtain. With
additional facilities all this could be easily corrected. A great
deal more could be said along the line of crowded conditions but
the one instance related above ought to lie enough to convince the
most skeptical.
Not only is the Park building taxed to th.- ins:, but, it
might be added, a part of it is regarded as unsa λ»·> ι ! rl be in
deed a sad day for our people should this buildii., 'all ini . ruins
of its own age and bury beneath the heap thr>>e . four hundred of
our boys and girls. More than one architect declare that the build
ing is absolutely unsafe.
We are all proud of the public schools and the work they are
doing aud desire to exert ourselves to the utmost to increase their
efficiency aud usefulness. Our schools now occupy an enviable
position among the graded schools of the state, and we cannot for
a moment think of taking a step backward. Let the school facil
ities of our city be in keeping with the financial, intellectual and
moral standing of our people. We should be satisfied with
nothing but the best.
Believing that this Is a time when every friend aud patron of
the public schools should rally to their support, aud provide for
them those accommodations and equipment* so much needed, we
urge upon every tax-payer of Waxahachie a fair and impartial
consideration of the question at issue, and, having an abiding
confidence in the wisdom and loresi^ht of our people, we feel con
fident that when the result is declared the future of our schools
will be assured.
In voting this tax w<· sincerely believe that we are voting that
for which our jiosterity will rise up and call us blessed.
Respectfully submitted,
T. J. CutJC. C. W. OlHUoN, J.J. McQl'ATfEKH,
J. L. Qamnds, Κ H. Connally, J. W. 8in<;l«tos,
