THERE PROMISES TO BE A LARGE ATTENDANCE

The special town meeting to consfter the high school question is warned for Saturday. August g. As THE BEE stated last week, there seems to be 8 growing sentiment in town in favor of the establishment Of such 8 school. While it is question which ought tn be care it Is a wise step to take. We look to see a large and representative turnout of the tax payers, and shall be surprised if the meeting does not vote to establish the school. What ever the result, let the question be talked oyer in temperate and kindly spirit What the movers in this question are after is the betterment of local educational conditions. The question of the hour when condensed into nutshell Is: Can the Academy go on and meet the wants of the community? Do the people want high school?
