Had Mr. Sargent recommended a
union high school and to leave the
present schools where they are, he
would not have met with so much op-
position. Instead of that, he has
been spending his time in running
down our present schools, instead of
trying to build them up.
Last May, at the graduating exer-
cises of the Pear Park schools, Mr..
Sargent made the statement that the
thirteen graduates not only composed
the largest class of graduates in the
rural schools of the county, but that
they had done credit to themselves
and to Pear Park, which was one of
the finest schools in the county. He
told one of the directors that the
children ranked high as a clGss-even
as good as Grand Junction pupils.
With but one exception the rank was
from 81 to 90, and two of the pupils
only lacked a fraction of ranking as
high as any scholar in the county
Eighty is the lowest average pupil
can have to graduate.
After our superintendent decided
that we must consolidate, he told the
same member of the school board
that we had a very poor school; that
the scholars Just passed and that was
all, and that no school could be made
a success under the district plan.
Now Pear Park is ready and will
ing to do all in its power to have
one of the best schools in the valley.
and Will spare no expense to make il
so; but 1t does not propose to get in
to debt to the full limit of the law
and then have poorer school than
| they now have.
We had county superintendent
not long since who did not try TO
work up any schemes for popularity,
but just attended strictly to business.
His work was well done. and tho
scholars We're credit to him. The
services of such men are inestimable.
II Is the general opinion of the ru-
raj subscribers of the News that. II
the News had Investigated consolida-
tion before giving it its support. it
would not have been hoodwinked by
Mr.. Sargent into such a ridiculous
scheme. EBEN w BARKER

We now have eight teachers, and
expect to add one more this year and
one more next year, If the consollda-
tion falls through. So you see the
schools would not be as good under
the consolidated plan as the poorest
school in the district is now. A
teacher cannot do justice to her pu-
pills if she has too many in a grade.
am of the opinion that he will
have to hunt long time for jani-

There are many here now of the
opinion that they are to vote on
consolidated high school, and the
man whom Mr. Sargent sent around
with the petition for the school board
to call a meeting to have the peo-
pie vote on a consolidation said that
his oldest daughter had graduated
from the Frultvale schools last spring
and that she was reviewing the
eighth grade in the Fruityale schools
this year because he didn't want to
send her to Grand junction and away
from home, and that he was anxious
to have the consolidation so that she
and the rest of his children might
finish their high school education at
home.

Dear Mamma: I'm Just about In de-
spair, and Lee doesn't know where !
am. We reached Carnac last night,
and uncle is "hum-ming" like top,
90 to speak. But i must tell you all
about 1t.
The yacht got too far out, and the
new thumb-screw, or whatever 1t Is on
q yacht, stuck, and they blew and
pitched until they pitched on to the
Island of Jersey, where Lee and un-
Gle went ashore for Lee to send a
machinist aboard. While Lee was
busy, uncle just quietly went aboard
the Jersey boat and came back to st.
Malo without saying please or thank
you to q soul. He walked in on me and
told me we were to leave for Dol the
next day, and for heavens sake not to
remind him Of Aunt Jane by asking
questions. / was dreadfully upset, but
Of course never thought for minute
Of reminding him Of Aunt Jane, so l
packed that evening and left letter for
Lee telling him please not to be vexed.
We took an early train for Dol Qts
always Dol in Brittany, and in Dol
we changed for Rennes. OF course /
thought that uncle was chasing Miss
Clara Emily when I saw the train
marked Rennes, but / didn't dare say
q word, for he never spoke but once
between Dol and Rennes, and that
time all he said was Hum"
We reached Rennes, and I thought
we would 60 to hotel; but we
changed cars again-this time for
Redon. Uncle spoke again, and asked
me II I had the Gaelic grammer handy.
! said no, and he said Hum" Then
we reached Redon and changed cars
again for Auray. Going to Auray un-
Gle asked me what became OF Mrs.
Whalen, and when told him that she
went to Mont Saint Michel, he said
her husband was a lucky man to be
dead. Then we came to Auray and
changed cars for Plouharnel, and be-
gan to wonder why we didn't run on
the end Of Brittany into the sea. We
reached Plouharnel about four in the
afternoon, and took tram for Carnac
at once, and when we reached Carnac
uncle said to pardon the personality
Of the statement, but that he never
again would try to keep up with the
eternal activity Of young person. ]
thought that that was pretty hard
when ! didn't even know where we
were going, but didn't say anything
and when he went to wash, gave the
waiter an extra tip to feed US quickly.
After uncle ate, we went out and
walked around Carnac a very little
and saw all the people in their black
velvet hat-ribbons and short jackets;
but when l said they looked pictur-
esQue, uncle said that they looked like
aerned fools, so we came home, and
now we are going to bed.
