"A plan has been suggested for a
graded school in Americas that would
not meet with the COLLECTIONS that are
urged against tie one OF building a
house. 1t is that a stock company
build Il two-story building in Ameri-
Gus of suitable size, and lease the
upper room to a union school district
for graded school, for term of three
to five years, until such time as the
district could build. 1t is believed
there are persons in Americas who
will build such Il building the ap-
preaching spring, and lease the first
floor for business houses and the bal
ance, as before stated, for a graded
school. There are enough advanced
scholars in three or four school dis
tricts in the proximity of Americas to
constitute good school. If the peo-
pie in these districts will act upon this
proposition at the ensuing annual
meeting, it could be ascertaiped what
districts would cooperate, and a dis
trict could be organized in time to
have the house ready to use by next
fall. Something is needed to be done
in this direction, and we think this
plan will give greater satisfaction
than to try to vote bonds now for a
district house. Who speaks next?
From what we have heard on the
subject we believe petition to the
county board to cause its proceedings
to be published in one of the county
papers Immediately after each meet
ing, would receive the names Of nearly
all the voters in this vicinity. I'm
portant matters are acted upon by the
board that the people never know any
thing about. AS an instance of this
kind we may mention the organiza-
ton OF a new township out of.portions
of Agnes City, Americas and Ere
mont. The meetings of the county
board might almost as well be held in
secret as without publishing its do
ings- Lets hear the mintlss of the
people on this subject, and see if they
would not prefer to pay for having a
correct transcript of the proceedings
of the board published Immediately
