SCHOOL HOUSE SUGGESTIONS, NO 2
To the people Of Paris:
The brick house is insured for $500
Will you tear it down just to build an
other on the same place? The life of
school house should not be less than for
ty years, then with thorough repair
should last twenty more.
In years to come you may build
school palace where the brick stands
With nice pleasant buildings, free books
free instruction from good teachers, AM
the free high school married to tn
town, don't think but that there will b
children enough for big school. TT
to instruct them so they will earn
living when they start for themselves
Ali must yield to right that none ar
wronged. Try to yield gracefully. Don
milk the town.
Merely suggested.
