The time of the annual school
election approaches, and with it
the question of the consolidation
of our schools and the employment
of a primary teacher. The Press
is in favor of these new depart
ures, chiefly because it believes
that our school board should be
the leaders of every movement
which has for it's object the i'm
provement and progress OF our
schools. There are enough schol-
ars attending our school to Justify
q graded school, and in this we are
supported by our County Superin-
tendent. The work has heretofore
been unnecessarily heavy for one
teacher, to say nothing Of the in
terests Of the pupils.
Here is one place where our cit
liens can Exhibit some public spir-
it, that they tell about. ~!
