Saturday's school bond election in Cedar Hill is of
great local import, but there is a far greater national
significance in this school board election.
. The greatest possible national resource for any coun-
try is an educated populace. That we in the free world do
hot always attach much significance to our education is
in great contrast to the highly regimented educational
systems of other types of government. Hence we have
watched, with varying degress of concern, the book-burn-
ing of Nazi Germany, and the political platoon teaching
behind the Communist Iron Curtain.
It is not enough merely to provide teachers and text-
books. To be adequately educated, sufficient classroom
space and facilities in desirable conditons are necessary
for the student to gain the maximum from Jhis educational
advantages.
At present there are 92 enrolled in Cedar Hill High
School; with an anticipated 115 student body next fall,
not counting any new students who might move into the
school district. These 92 pupils have a homemaking de-
partment, which is adequately equipped, a vocational
agriculture department in the old frame house on the
school grounds, a study hall-library, and only four regular
classrooms, two of which are too small. If that sounds like
ample space, try arranging a schedule for an entire high
school teaching program sometime, with only four rooms
for regular classes.
In our atom, jet-propelled age, with great scientific
predictions of inter-planetary travel, Cedar Hill High has
no science laboratory. Nor does it have an auditorium.
These things and sufficient classrooms will be provided
for in the new high school building—IF the bond election
carries. And that is up to you.
For in this election, you will be voting not just for
bonds, or even bricks or stone or mortar for the proposed
high school building. You will be voting to maintain and
increase the education standards of Cedar Hill. Can you
afford NOT to vote these bonds? *

his birthday last Thursday with
