MINIrA's GOOD PEOPLE should

VI not lose sight of the fact alto
gether that there is going on in our
midst public school with two efficient
teachers and over one hundred schol-
ars IN regular attendance. This school,
as little as some of our people seem TO
care, is furnishing the only means Of
education, the only opportunities
many Of the boys and girls of this town
may ever have OF getting an education.
The town OF Vinita is justly proud Of
it's schools, but the community is Ger.
tainly not dong it's whole duty by the
public school. We need a larger and
better school building and il the
Strip payment is made this year an ef-
fort must be made TO secure donations
enough to build a school house. The
present teachers have succeeded under
great difficulties IN building up an ex-
cellent school and the fact that II is an
excellent school has been the cause Of
its being over. crowded. and the capac-
ity OF the present house being found
to be too small.
