A Military Question.
It is hinted from Washington that
military men believe Pershing's ex-
pedition should be withdrawn from
Mexico and placed where it could do
more good. If this represents the
opinion of the .strictly military advis
ers of the government it should be
done at once. All the beneficial di

The School Situation.
There are verious objections raised
against the school bonds. Whereas in
the majority of cases the real cause
is the fear of increased taxation.
.Every man hag some influence and
there are always some who will ac
cept the most "unreasonable asser-
tion as facts.
First r will say that the school
would be too close to th? noisy rail
way on Center or Fisk avenues. Our
trustees have studied ; the matter
from evvery angle and have foujd that
the south side owing to the tendency
on the .art of the people to build in
that direction will in the course ot
hue become the center of scholastic
population heuce the decision to build
on tlie south side.
Aside from the pressing necessity
for the more room a high school

ED BAILEY
I have thought about the school
bond question a great deal and have
read about all that has been published
in the papers pro and con. Brown-
wood is looked upon everywhere as
a school town. We have gained
many good citizens on account of our
schools and colleges. There is no
doubt about the fact that we need a
new high school and L am one who
believes that it would be a stroke of
good policy to build a good one while
we are at IL While it would be use-
ful and beneficial to the town it would
also in niy judgment attract many-
good citizens to our town. For the
life of men I see no good reason for
adding t the old high school when
it can be used for a" ward school and

1 have read a number of articles
by citizens anent the proposed bond
issue for $S0000 for the election and.
maintenance of school buildings :also
the statement by the board of school
trustees that their p-urpose is to erect
a high school building with housing
capacity for five hundred students
somewhere south of the Santa Fe
railroad in the event a majority of
tho votes cast are for the bonds. The-'
plan put up to the voters of Brown-
wood by the school trustees has the
endorsemeat of the State Superin-
tendent of Public Schools. It. is'giv-
en to us as the mature judgment Df
the school board who havo given
much thought and time to the consid-
eration of the needs of Brownwood's
public schools. Tho board is compos-
ed of renrescntative and successful
men of the city men of honesty and
integrity who aro planning and work-
ing for the interests of the- public
schools of the wholo town and I
think they should receive the hearty
support of the voters of tho city.
The present higli school and two
ward school buildings are all unduly
crowded making it necessary in or-
der to accommodate the largo num-
ber of childcrn to uso tho basements
of tho Ford and high school buildings
which were never intended for class
rooms. They are not properly light-
ed and aro unsanitary. Surely the
children should not be subjected to
such surronndlngs. Let us support
