Highlandtown and Canton Want a
High School.-The residents of Highland
town and Canton want high school, The
subject is being discussed by the prominent
business men of that section and it is thought
that ere long the proper authorities will be
importuned to establish such an institution
within the precincts of those two thriving
towns.
The question was taken up some time ago
by the Highlandtown and Vicinity Improve
ment Association, but was not carried to an
issue. AT the reorganization of the associa-
ton, which, according to one of the members
will take place next month"; the project will
probably receive the unanimous support of
the association.
In behalf of the expressed wants of the COM
munities, representative business man of
Highlandtown said: 1.-The rapid growth of
the two villages and the increased population
make it imperative that we have higher edu-
cational facilities. While our present public
schools are of the highest order, yet we feel
the need of an institution where our children
may complete their educations after taking
the prescribed course in the grammar schools.
Such institutions have been established in
other sections of the county where the popula-
ton does not compare at all with the combined
population of Highlandtown and Canton, and
l can see no reason why this section should
not be so favored"
