District High School.

Would it not be good move in the
right direction II the several school dis.
tricts Of williams county should unite
and organize district high school? 1t
seems to US that an organization Of this
kind could easily he effected, and would
materially advance the cause Of educa.
ton in the county, and greatly reduce
the annual expenses Of those haying
advanced scholars under their charge.
This is a subject which deserves con.
sideration by the people at the present
time, for the day is not far distant when
many Of the parents Of children who are
now receiven9 their training in the pr.
mary and intermediate departments OF
the schools will be called upon to pro.
vide for those children facilities for
advanced education. This can more
cheaply be accomplished under q dis
trict high school system than by send
ing the children away to other towns
for the purpose Of pursuing their stud
les in higher branches. The Graphic
would be pleased to hear from other
parties interested in the cause of edu-
cation upon this question.
