music teacher. The enrolment for
the first day far surpassed the ex-
/ fpectations Of the trustees, and there
viii be a. many a. twenty-five high
school scholars this term. The In
tsntion OF establishing this high
school here was to consolidate the
small schools In this township and
make this the educational center,
however there seemed to be some op-
position to this move, 90 the trus-
tees decided to give the 0ther small
schools . teacher. hoping all the high
school scoolars would attend here,
and with the advantage Of experien-
ced educators such a. we now have
here. children could be prepared for
college and al the same time have
home influences and parental train
Ing which would mould their lives
and characters to take them thro'
life. The music department which
has been added to the school this year
will draw many scholars which could
not have had the advantages Of mu-
sic unless going to town. I know of
one family now here that sent their
children fifteen miles to take music
lessons and our citizens OF this town
ship ought to feel proud Of the high
school and your correspondent urges
every father and mother in the town
ship to make every sacrifice possible
and patronixe this high school.
