Get Schools
Of A Mess
mi
■*—An Editorial—
The most important election here to many years will be held Tues
day. It will determine whether or not a $750,000 echoed bond issue
wUl be floated.
The future of Grifftols School System depends upon wbsther or
not the issue passes. The pupils of today will be the citizens of
tomorrow and certainly 'it is a shame for them to be educated in the
inadequate and crowded buildings now in use.
Reporter Luke Teaateys sertea of articles published all this week
to the Griffin Daily News and concluded today has described many
but not all of the faults of the system.
He graphically summed the situation up to six words, “Griffin’s
schools are to a mein.”
It will be necessary to peas the bond issue if we are to get the
schools out of the mess.
A majority of the votes cast will be necessary to float the issue.
The only danger is that all of the pepole who favor school bonds
may not vote. Nearly all of those oppsoed will vote. r
So be sure and go to the pells at City Hall Tuesday and cast
your ballot for school bonds.
