adjoining school districts TO vote

1t occurs 10 us that Prof.

ly wise one. He clearly shows
how it is practicable for Lancas' er
to have high school under The
state Law without additional eX-
pence whatever to the school
district or districts. What say you,
gentlemen, members of The board

in the welfare OF the school and

for he board o. trustees TO invite
