feel assured that we can show them
in short time why this is the proper
place to locate the--state high school
in Washington county. The fact
that of our having twice as many
scholars here who e far enough
advanced to enter the high school
than the other three contesting
towns, combined should be consiC-
cred, as the school would be star

our people are pertinent residents
owning their own homes, 50 there
is no land speculation scheems back
of our efforts. We have no rail-
road company to be doomed as ours
is an established trunk line. We
are simply working in the cause of
education in a purely unselfish way
and spirit, and there is but little
doubt that the commission will
see it in tn S light.
