How 10 Get New Scho District.

EIsewhers in todays Courier is to be

fishing Of public school in that

viewed County Superintendent Saw

found Mr.. Savage con, ersant with the
conditions as they ,xisi out that way.
He remarked that if the people in the
vicinity of Speaker desired to have
school and could satisfy the school
boundary board that they had at least
10 children Of school age who were
not transients but were there to re-.
side permanently, then there would
doubtless be no hitch in the matter.
He remarked that he had been con.
suited by some Of the Speaker folks.
along this line and that he had ad.
vised them to proceed after this
fashion. He took occasion to also
say that some school districts were
having to be consolidated with others,
because they did not succeed 10 keep.
ing enough children in the neighbor-
hood. to allow the board to continue
the said schools. This was due, he
said, to various causes. In some In
stances few parties had bought up
large tracts Of land. for grazing and
like purposes, which kept the people
from settling in that neighborhood.
He assured the Courier that he and
the district boundary committee
were always ready to cooperate for
the best interests of each and every
locality in the county.

Attorney General Crawford had sd-
vised that the old law was to be fol-
