The Consolidation of Schools

To the Editor: AS you remember,
wrote short while ago on raising the
tax value on land. l never expected to
hear but little from it, but to my surprise
l got news from different parts of the
State as well as my nelghbors endorsing
every word l wrote and asked me to
write again, which / did not expect to do
-as / am a poor writer and not anxious
for my name to get in print. But re-
cent developments in this township AMI
some action taken in one instance of do.
ing away with one school in District No.
8, have stirred up people considerably Our
school houses are good and very conven-
iently arranged and located, so that all
the children in the township can attend
school, at almost no inconvenience. 1t
is now proposed by few to consolidate
from to 3 schools into one, which, If
done, would bar a great many children,
probably one-third, from attending any
school at ALL The people are generally
| very much dissatisfied with the matter.
| The people have been imposed upon so
often, and their rights and the constitution
of North Carolina have been trampled on
as so much waste paper and without re
gard to the feelings and rights OF the
1 people Until IL ldS DecOIue unDSdFaDlC
and without halt the people will rise
| i'll their might and throw off this yoke
of bondage. We are no alarmist but we
know our rights and we will maintain
them. We have to help pay the 5000, GOO
appropriated for schools, and we propose
to have our school houses stay as they
are, and not for three men, who consti
tute the county school board to dictate
| to us where our houses shall be.
| Without any disrespect to the board, as
| / suppose they have their orders from
somewhere, but they must respect the
wishes of a majority of the people, OF
there will be reckoning with somebody
The consolidation of schools is nc douD,
good for the people of towns, but not for
/ the country, as some places are thinly
settled. We now ask the board to lei
Panther Branch schools stand as they are
