On Tuesday, Oct. 81, the school
boards of West Grant will hold one
Of the three county meetings, which
are designed to increase the eff
cheney of school boards. The kick
by a Lancaster paper that the meet
ings should have been merged into
one and held in Lancaster is i'll
advised. If the publisher Of said
paper knew how the balance of the
county feels about the attempt of
an element of the county seat town
to gobble up all public pap, he
would let this little crumb from the
luscious loaf drop into the hungry
NAV of the provinces without COM
ment. Co. Supt. Nye understands
the feeling on the outside, and his
thoughtful plan to give other towns
taste and to make it more con-
venient for the members of the
various school boards to attend, is
thoroughly appreciated. The out.
side towns ought to kick for more
of these public snaps. They simply
go by default. We once heard a
venerable pioneer patriarch of the
county seat assert that all county
Offices should be held by Lancaster
men, as there was not sufficient in
telligence outside of Lancaster to
discharge the duties of the Offices.
This man was something like the
editor in question; his horizon was
bounded by the city limits of Lam
caster, Grant county, Wisconsin.
