school trustees decide 10 erect one
The little town will be represented by
a delegation Saturday, and the propo-
sltSon to donate a building and four
acres OF land will be presented. With
the college building the Lone Oak
citizens feel that the county will not
be put to any expense for building,
and the High school can begin its
sessions next September without de-
lay. The college has been in session
at Lone Oak several years. and this
year has an average of 20 pupils. but
II has been decided that the county
High school would be more valuable
and Lone Oak will pull hard for it,
If the county will put up $1,000.
The interest In the question OF es-
tablishlng q separate county High
school has set the farmers to talking,
and II is the chief topic OF converse
ton in the rural districts. as the en-
tire expense will have to be borne by
taxation of the county. exclusive OF
the city. Many farmers have an
nounced themselves opposed to the
plan of a separate High school, and
will fight il. The meeting of the trus-
tees will be held in the Office of Coun-

rumors OF so many delegations going
to attend that II IS probable the meet
ing will adjourn to. the. county court
room or some place Of sufficient size
to accommodate the crowd.
The county school trustees will have
three plans to pick from. The first
Is to cooperate with the city High
school. and pay the tuition of all
graduates Of the county schools that
may attend the school. In Arcadia
the Gregory Heights Land company
has offered to donate a block Of
ground. and property owners of that
vicinity have offered TO make a dona-
ton OF $1,000. The latest PROPOSE
ton of the Lone Oak citizens is to
give the college building and campus.
IL Is tipped that the county school
board will decide to erect separate
High school, as a sufficient number of
trustees have expressed their views
However, after this decision a lively
fight is expected as members of the
fiscal court, by whom the money will
have to be allowed, are opposed to the
plan. as Is County Judge Lightfoot.
At least three trustees are known
to favor arrangements with the city
and Supt. Carnagey has been invited
to address the board on the subject of
