A new Catholic church, which will be
the finest chuch in the county, a new
livery barn and a new railroad are
among the possibilities of Ellinwood this

Outside cities wonder why city like
Ellinwood has but one public school
building. The reason is, we have two
UNCONVENTIONAL schools, both of which
own their own buildings, making three
buildings in all, only one of which is a
public building. Were it not for the
private schools Elhnwood would proha-
bly, have three public buildings. She is
none the smaller for having but one
public school building. She employs
six teachers in all.
