3,. I '0' “- dr-VH-t body of citizens. whose painful duty it has been in these trying times, to .dlninister the finencial afl’airs of Elm Plsce school. They have done their best to mnke ends meet. but as every business man knows, it can not he d ne. They are now asking us for assistance to bridge the gulf until such ime es the Legislature makes special provision for the schools of the state. The burden of responsibility is already tpo hesvy on this body of cidzens who are giving their time and energy to our service. They ask for $30,000.00. What are we going to do about it? There is a dearth of teachers today, a fact which has been so widely heralded in all the newspapers and magazines of the country that it needs no further reiteration. The salaries of our teaching profession, from grammar school to college, are an outrage and a blot on the ~A1nerican escutcheon. and one for which we shall all pay very dearly. The schools of this country are the only means by which we can transmit the meaning and significance of America. They are the Ark of the Covenant of our traditions. He who despairs of the materialism which dominates our country today. need never hope {or better things except he pin his faith to the American school system to put the next generation on a higher plane. The rapid increase in the price of necessities, the decreased purchasing pawer of the dollar. ha: brought about a very natural deficit in the financial budget of District 107. and one for which the Board is in no wise re- sponsible. This Board consists of a highly intelligent and representative The statement of the Elm Place Board'of Education in regard to their deficit {or the ensuing year is a matter of serious concern for every citizen in thatxbistrict. A heavy responsibilityhu devolved upon the Board in being expected to maintain the high standerd of the Elm Place school in the face of the sudden and abnormal tile in living expenses. For the north ashore. its taxable property compriees A. closely congested district with very little vecant property and one whose school population is on the steadv "102550 MAY WE ASK? In a previous issue of The Press we printed a letter addressed by the President 01' the North Shore Gas Company to the Mayor of this city, ap- pealing to the public authorities to assist the Public Utilities Commission in granting the Gas Company the right to charge higher rates, otherwise the Company can not expend $200,000 for new construction work. In other words. the Company which is seeking to impose an additional rate on the people wish the people to consent to a temporary increase, at the same time the (hmmission is making an inventory of its own to decide if the Gas Company is entitled to an additional rate. Under the circumstances the request cannot readily be distinguished from a gratuity. If the Company expects the people to tax themselves voluntarily an additional rate so that they can expend $200,000, we would like to ask the following questions: Where is the $200,000 to be spent‘.‘ What is it for? Has it been authorised by the Commission? We hold no brief for or against this or any other company, but the price of gas concerns everybody and those who assume to distribute it take on a public duty in the exercise of which frankness is an essential quality.

The situation which exists in District 107 is in no wise different from thousands of other schools today who are confronted with the difiiculty d lowering their standard or going in debt that they may maintain that standard and the place which they hive earned for themselves in the state and the community at large. It may be to many a grave step for a Board to assume a school deficit but it is a far {raver step for any Boar! of representative citizens. having been entrusted with the educational di- rection of our children, to take upon themselves the responsibility of luw~ erinz the standard of the school.
