THE BOND ISSUE
FIRST—There is not enough room

be necessary to rent at least another
room next year and probably two
more.
SECOND—It is not possible in Saline to rent aditional rooms that arc
suitable for school purposes.
THIRD—The children are required
to attend school but they should not
be required to sit in cold, dark, dangerous, unhealthy, poorly ventilated
rooms.
FOUTH—The enrollment has increased by 65 or 28% in the last
three years.
FIFTH—It takes money to provide
school rooms.
SIXTH—Forty-seven per cent of
the children that were housed in the
Jonesf building- last year were found
from eye defects and eye strain
caused^ ty the bad lighting in the
building. _ *
SEVENTH—It is money saved to
build a new building rather than remodel.'
SEVENTH—The old building is
badly in need of repairs. It would
cost several thousand dollars just for
temporary repairs as a roof, wiring,
plaster, floors, etc.
EIGHTH—It is money saved to
build a hew building rather, 'than- remodel. _
NINTH—The children should be
given a SQUARE DEAL.

WHY THE BOND ISSUE
SHOULD CAKRXL^
1. More room must be provided.
2. The proposition is sound and
l^as the indorsement of the officials
of the State Department of Public
Instruction.
3. A modern auditorium and community room is heeded by the school
and community.
4. We need to include domestic
arts, industrial arts, and agriculture
in our curriculum. Milan, Clinton,
Manchester, Dundee, Lincoln, ■ and
practically all school have this work
5. About $3,000 each year would
be received from the state and U. S
governments if domestic arts, etc.,
were introduced in Saline.
6. A good 'school draws business
to a community and increases property values.
7. The health of the children is
being .injured by housing them tb
rented room. Forty-seven per cent of
the children that were housed in the
Jones building last yea rwere founj
to'be suffering from eye strain and
defective vision. I
8. ~The present building is a fire!
hazard. j
9. Taxes will be raised but little, .j
'10.   Under   the   30 .year   bonding
plan, the younger generation will be
the one that will pay for most of the:
building. .
11. Milan,   Clinton,  Dundee,   Lin- \
coin, Chelsea, Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor,
and other towns have good schools.
Can Saline afford not to have?
12. The  best   investment   that, a'
community can make is in the education of their children.
13. It would cost on an average
of less than $8.00 per year for each
person in the district."
14. Education increases the earning' power of the children and prepares them for the many duties of
life.
15. The University inspectors and
State Department of Public Instruction have urged the building of a new
building.
16. It Trill provide work for local
men and business for merchants.
17. It will meet*the patriotic request of President Hoover'for cities
and states to do their building now to
help the general'prosperity of "the
country. ' '
