consolidated schools should be given a
trial, or whether we should continue to

country school houses, such as our
grand parents attendad: But Harvey is
nothing if not progressive and expect
to see it continue in the lead in school

lead by dropping the antiquated old
country school house and adopt the

Mr., Editor, I understand our school
board will one of these fine days
have petition presented to them asking
them to call special election to vote on
building another school house. If we
decide to build we will then have four
schools in Harvey township.
During this last year we have had op.
portunity to discuss the school ques-
ton to some extent as occasion offere
when we casually meet our friends and
neighbors in town marketing. And !
find there is some dissatisfaction in re-
gard to the class of goods we are getting
for the money. I thing myself that we
can make a change that would be
largely to our benefit and advantage.
Lately when talking school I have been

INCIDENT to the fact that local politics
are on the wane since the close of last
falls campaign, it is worth while to stop
and note an item from Soper in the
Milton Globe, which states there was no
one out at the school house to listen to
the lecture of Socialist S. E. Haight the
other night. Even the party entrusted
with putting on fire and lighting the
lamps had funked and Silas found the
school house cold, dark and empty.
