School opened last Tuesday and thirteen
scholars from Cadora and near here in Man
tua township commenced school, one scholar
going 80 Pitman. There are more scholars
IN this place past five years old who might
be in school had they a school TO go 90
nearer than two miles We do not think
Mantua township is doing the right thing
when they refuse TO pay the required sum
to Pitman borough for these children to go
to that school. We feel that our residents
pay enough school sax without paying any
more for them to go tor school at the age of
five and six years old. The school law reads
something like this: THAT the townships
shall convey children living at a remote
distance TO school, and we consider when
there is school house within a mile distant
that our township should either pay the re-
quired alnount-$l0, 80 Pitman borough or
convey these children 80 one of our own
schools which is a distance of not less than
two miles wherever they go. We hope the
school board will give this matter fair con-
sideration, and ask yourselves the question
Would you want your children at the
same age of these children to walk that far
80 school?n They say times are advancing
as such thing as q gas light on she public
highway was not known few years ago.
but while we are advancing in some things
we are going backward in some others, as
these children's parents didn't have 80 walk
two miles TO school. We only ask for what
we believe is our rights,o one of three things,
viz: school house in this end of the town
ship or near it, pay the amount Pitman
borough asks per scholar for them to go
there, or convey these children to one of
our own schools
