BONDS FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES
School district number one, em
bracing a territory of about four by
nine, miles, has, through its board
of school directors, called an elec
tion for the purpose of votinu lor
or against bonds foi the erection
of additional school houses in the
district. The amount of bonds
called for in this election is $24,
000. The objects and purposes of
these bonds seem to be misunder
stood by some of the citizenship of
this citv and school district. For
instance, the editor of the News
has heard it aliened that the amount
of these bonds, in case they are
voted, will be assessed against the
city government instead of against
the school district, which is not so:
it is the school district that is to
vote for or against the bonds, and
the district to be bonded in case the
election is carried. Of course the
school district, as before stated,
does not only include the city ol
Tucumcari, but an area of country
embracing about four by nine miles
of territory. Another argument
we have heard is, that should we
vote the $24,000 of bonds for school
purposes, that the city would be
precluded from voting bonds for its
own public improvements' this like
wise is a misconception, the fact
being that thc issuance of school
, bonds bv this school district has
nothing whatever to do with the
city government, or with its voting
borids to whatever amount that can
tie voted legally. It should be un
derstood, once and forever, that
the city government of Tucumcari
iftnd school district number one are
separate and apart, two different
things, and that bonds voted for
(school purposes in ttie uistrici wi
fin ao way interfere with the city in
whatever public improvements it
nay be necessary to make in the
uturc. .
Xhf onJ' re'at'on ,n tne matter
of school bonds that the one has to
the other is, that both the city and
school district must have addition
al school facilities in order to meet
the demands even of the present,
not to consider the urgent demands
that we all know are coming in the
immediate future. By way ol
illustration, the school district is
at present bonded tor 911,000;
8,000 of which has been expend
ed in the erection of the present
four room brick school building on
tollege street, McGee addition,
and $i, 000 on the two portable
"buildings on the same school
grounds. The nmount of property

tuem the time that i nwessary to
correct I v advance pupils of these
grades: and next yenr when thu
suven year old's have crown to
eight, and prolmblv thirtv percent
liv itineration is enrolled in our
schools, we can see that our trou
lus are proportionately augmunted.
In defense Of rtlr scftUOl bonrdq
the Newi would like to call the at
tention of our citizenship to the
lact that wlienlphildren are placed
in school, the tiourd ol education
takes their guardianship lor the
time being, and it is the hoard's
lirst duty to se that thuir ixirt of
the work is tittud to the 1msI ad
vantage of the pupils. For in
stance, properly lighted, ventilat
ed and heated rooms are necessary,
and none of this is available in
Tucumcari. It is necessary thnt
the board should nut only look af
ter the fixtures, furniture, heating,
ventilation, etc., but that the desks
should be the proper size to tit the
grades, allowing the feet of the
child to rest squarely upon the
floor, and of such height as to give
an upright position, and the should
be placed so that the light should
come from either the back or side
of the room. There a"; a thou
sand details that a school board,
on oath, must look after tor the
welfare ol the children attending
our public schools, that if neglect
ed, the results in the future if thu
community, and tin health and wel
fare of the generation growim? up
is dependent.
So, when all of those things are
considered it does seem
mere matter ol percent
sive towns tr the terrilr ut New
Mexico, lias refused Ut vote bonds
lor school purimses, it is going to
Ih- a knock that we will not recover
from for a long time in the future.
A cit with Mil hoots is a city
with one material weak point; a
citv without propel educational ad
vantages will build iu spite of
tnunv obstacles. Lit us not for
n.'t the education of our children,
along witli our othur interests.

We further find thnt the volume
of air in the rooms is so insufhrient
that it is injurious to the health of
the pupils. As an instance we
