LOCAL AFFAIRS.
THE NEWTOWN HIGH SCHOOL.
4 SUGGESTION TO NEWTOWN LADIES.

1t is with keen qualification and
pleasure that we learned through The
BEE that we are to have as good, COM
petent and reliable man for our prin-
cipal as Ross Jewell, and his worthy
and efficient assistant, Miss Goodwin,
is represented to be. We hope that
we shall want to, and be able to keep
them. 1t is detrimental to scholars to
be changing teachers, often. Let
everybody in this town adopt our High
school for harbinger of good luck,
and work for it. How much good could
be done if each one would do what they
could to assist and help to keep it in
books, MAPS or whatever they might
need. The ladies, who are power in
themselves for good, and who have
where dollars are collected and spent
for fine or fancy things, that none Of
them really need, and many have an
over abundance, 1 doubt not would be
only too glad to turn it over to such a
worthy cause as helping to maintain
good place for education, if it was only
suggested to them. Think what help
So or 81 week would be, about 5000 a
year, if collected and handed over to
our highly esteemed High school COM
mfttee to get such things as they
might need most! 1t would encourage
the principal and his assistant, also
the children in their perplexing work,
SO they would have some heart to love
their work, do their best and want to
stay with us. Let us take lesson
from our Woodbury. neighbors. See
what beautiful building with corps
of teachers they have land it is said
that the population of their town is
about the same as ours). LESS, only
about O.-Editor.] It's an orna-
ment and pride to their town. What
more worthy or charitable object could
we work for-the training of young
minds that soon will be taking our
places. The better educated our chill
dren are the better men and women
they will make. AS Ella Wheeler
Wilcox says: "They are part of God;
in working for them, no matter wheth-
er we have any or not, we are but
working for ourselves" Let everyone
think of it. See what a noble cause,
and an everlasting good we can accom-
pliSh right here in our own town, if we
but will, and not have it said of us:
"We are SO years behind the times"
There can be no more worthy object to
work for. Let everyone rally to this
great and noble works.
