NELSON,

Five years ago this spring the Board of Edu-
cation instituted a High School and employed
q teacher, and for time it progress ed nicely
The new board annually increased the wages
Whlle the attendance continually decreased, A
year ago the board concluded to employ cheap
er teacher. or teacher at about the wages that
the school started in at. and as such it has been
running for the last year. aad still the interest
in the school and the attendance has continued
to decrease. until the present board concluded
it was best to discontinue the school, until there
were more scholars sufficiently advanced with
out robbing the district schools of their entire
interest as the teachers of those schools are
required to be sufficiently qualified to teach any
that went to the high school. But the faction
that have been running the schools for the past
years, and reaping the full benefit or their CO.
horts, in order to show their indignity to the
action of the present board, had the school bell
tolled. Grape hung on the door posts and the
black flag displayed above the nations emblem
Ordinary good judgment would not think it ad-
visable to burden the town with s., 600 tax, to
furnish less than dozen scholars tuition in the
high school, tn at has to be provided in the dis
trict schools. But men who pay little or no tax
are always ready to burden those that do, And
sometimes they throw the boomerang that
comes back and drops at their feet.
