â€"-mm THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 9, 1821 THE OPEN FORUM than those of the citizen. Or, to use a are now only mnAjM^j^M further argument, since the goodness times the cost of building before tne of a aodety ultimately depends on| war. That tocans that we can put the nature of its citizens; and since' of THAT NEW SCHOOL The Lake Shore News in its I three issues. has contained very foresting information concerning necessity; for an additional school building, to supplement the Logan school, at 15h St. and Central ave- nues. The Xews for November 18 reported the last meeting of the Wil- mette Board of Education, and then proceeded to set out in detail the report of Mr. Harper, the Superinten- dent of schools. Reference to this report shows the Laurel avenue school with an average of thirty pu- pils' to the room, -and Mr. Harper says that the maximum proper num- ber of pupils to a-room, so as to enable the ,teacher to give closer personal attention jlo the-pupils and ^provide proper instruction, should not exceed thirty-five. The Laurel avenue school as we all know, was opened less than a year ago. and now it bids fair to be filled to capacity, win small chance to take care of future growth of population in the district whereat-is located. The Logan school runs about eight to the room above the proper average, although the Central school is already taking care of the entire sixth grade and thirteen child- ren frofrrfbe fourth and fifth grade* who should be at the Logan school. but can't because of lack or room.; The Tenth street building of the Cen- -tr>l-school, as well as theXentral ave* nue building and the Byron C. Stolp building of the Central school, all run -far-above-tfee-indicated proper aver- age, and so it is rendered entirely cer- tain and clear that even without any growh of population in the village we have not enough capa^ity^JiLjhe^ present school buildings. We are all well aware that new houses are ttoini: up all around us, especially in the Logan school area, and these houses will be occupied by families new to Wilmette, whose children will tax beyond the possibility oi properly caring..for-'them, the room* and build- ings that we now have. Children First Concern Herbert Spencer in "Education" says : "As the family comes before the State in order of timeâ€"as the bring- ing up of children is possible before the State exists, .or when it has ceas- ed to be, whereas the State is render-, ed possibly only by the bringing up of children; it follows that the duties of the parent demand closer attention the nature of its citizens is more mod- ifiable by early training than by any- se; we must conclude that fare of the family underlies the welfare of society. And. hence knowledge directly conducing to the first, must take precedence of know- ledge directly conducing to the last." Mr. Spencer .very clearly emphasizes * spintedness in- ' the paramount importance of giving School Board the : to our children the opjfcrtuaity to oh- ton, which tain that which is essential to quali- fy them for proper discharge of duties of citizenship, and I think it .follows fairly and without opportun-1 ton. ity for successful controversion that the residents of Wilmette are at this time under a moral obligation to authorize the " building of a new school, located at' the point where it is most needed, namely, as part of or immediately adjoining the Logan school. The example.of the inade- quacy of the Laurel avenue school to care "for the requirements of the near future indicates that in building the new school it should be planned of sumcient size so that another new school will not have to be built in the course of a vear or two more. There- ight^h IV. building today for about half the cost at the time of the completion of the Laurel avenue school, and architects and builders are ot the opinion that building costs will not go lower for the next two to five years. Tint* to Build I* Now We are set an example in public- the action of the Of the City'of Evans-! am advised is sending Out notices calling for an election on a bond issue of one million dollai to build a new high school in Evans- Undoubtedly the board and! Others interested in'Evanston have, advised themselves fully as to costs j present and prospective, and feel satisfied that this is-the proper time to build.. I feel personally that the need for a.school is the primary considera- tion, and while I am glad that the building situation is so advantageous, I think that when we see going up all. over Chicago and its suburbs new houses and new apartment buildings. that we may well feel that so vital a necessity" as the building of this school should not be deferred a day longer than is necessary to complete Tho> commentaries on the educational con- ditions in the United States, showing that we had lapsed from third place to eighth place as a nation, in point of literacy. I believe that none of us in Wilmette would like to have any part of the responsibility for such situation rest upon our shoulders. • The Logan Parent-Teacher associa- tion is hopeful that the school board will call for an election to vote upon a bond issue sufficient to provide for the building of a school of the use and eapacitv indicated in this article, and asks the support of every citizen of Wilmete in the fruition of the pro- G.

Noll only are the rooms of the Centrajj school overtaxed, but as there is no gymnasium in the Logan school, the children from that school must now cross the tracks and walk a consider- able distance so as to take their gym- nasium work at the Central school. This is a bad arrangement, and can be done away with through provision WFt TIm SoMrtMl ut *••!

Xordort* irtferested^ me very greatly with his article of November 25 concerning the provision of law by ' which around $30,000 a year is raised in Wilmette for .school building pur- j poses. As Mr. Harper explained, in The Lake Shore Xews. for December 2. this sum is obtained each year, but about a third of it or more is used toj retire the present outstanding schooVj ben dsTarnoun ting to $76,000 as well as! for insurance and repairs.
