It is expected that north shore citizens will give their assent to this bond issue, inasmuch as the contemplated improve- ments, will directly affect the welfare of many north shore cbildren. Moreover, the proiposed expansion program is largely the work of the late leader of the high .sehool, Frederick Cierk, and may there fore be regarded-as the product 'of bis close per- *sonal expérience and of his hèartfel t in- terest in. the future of this progressive. institution.

If officiais in our own community request us plainly yet in a kindly way to work with them toward the improvement. of our own community, we certainly ought to cornply with the request., For instance, our respective bealth offi- cers now and then ask 'us to let themn know at once when a member of Our family has wbat seems to be an infectious disease, like chicken pox. Even tbough suchý information may mean the placing of a quarantine sign on our *door, with ail its inconvenient and uncomfortable consequences, still even the most inçon- siderate north shore resident .will admit that such information ought to be given. Co-operation in this connection means maintenance of comtuunity bhealtb: Every citizen, unless he is abnormally, short-sigbted menital1y and morally, will see that co-operation with village* officials really means helping one's own self and.. family. Co-operation is of. almost no benefit to village officials compared with, what it is to the citizens tbemselves. Many of our north shore citizens render public service that. is literally priceless.
