Mr. Swearingen took up the CUES
ton of State aid for public schools

so that the stronger school districts
could aid the weaker ones and thus
bring about a uniform standard
throughout our State.
Passing on to the school book
adoption Mr. Swearinger reviewed
the matter of the sweeping changes
made, for which up to the present
time no good reason has been vouch-
safed. He would not accuse any one
of being corrupt, because he could
not prove corruption. but it looked
very much as if there was some
thing rotten in Denmark
The foregoing is but meager
outline of Mr. Swearingen's speech,
which was nearly two hours long.
While not eloquent, he is a plain,
practical, logical speaker, impressing
everyone as being intensely in ear
nest. He had the audience with him,
especially when he touched on the
school book controversy.
When he had concluded his speech
Senator Epps offered resolutions
commencing Superintendent Swear
ingen for the stand he had taken in
the text book matter. These resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted.

SUPT, SNEARINGEN
TALKED TO TRUSTEES
HERE SATURDAY--"SOMETHING
ROTTEN IN DENMARK" IN
SCHOOL BOOK DEAL.

Inc trustees meeLlnS aI INe
school auditorium was called to or
der Saturday at noon by Chairman
B B Chandler. The roll-call showed
twenty-four out of ffty-two trustees
present. A half dozen or more
came in later, however, and num-
Der of others interested in the SUI
ject of education were present.
making altogether a gathering of
nearly two hundred people.
Mr. Chandler in a few preliminary
remarks suggested that an old-time
experience meeting be held. There
being no immediate response, Su-
perintendent of Education McCul-
Tough requested Prof o M Mitchell
to give the audience the benefit of
his experience and observation as to
the advantages derived from consol-
idation of schools. Prof Mitchell,
always oblieing, responded with a
very interesting talk along the line
suggested. Taking his own school,
Union High school. as concrete ex-
ample, Mr. Mitchell told of the re-
markable development wrought,
which in large measure would have
been impracticable without consolid-
alton. Prof Mitchell is a forceful
speaker, brim-ful of energy and en-
thusiasm in the high and honorable
calling he has elected to fulfill and
his remarks were heard with close
heed that no doubt will inspire 9th
ers to greater effort. The Union
school, although more than twenty
miles from a railroad, in a not too
thickly settled community, is easily
the banner rural school in the coun-
ty and no doubt has few equals in
the State. Call it consolidation, if
you please, but we have a private
opinion that the chief dynamic power
has been pluck, perseverance and the
spirit of progress embodied in Prof
Mitchell and his excellent school
board, whose chairman. Hon B B
Chandler, as we all know, is a pretty
live wire himself.
At the close of Mr. Mitcnell's
speech, Hon F C Epps, in fitting Ian
guage, introduced Hon J E Swearin-
gen, the State Superintendent of
Education.
The main thought embodied in
Mr. Swearingen's address which fol-
lowed was: The School Trustee an d
His Duty" He paid glowing trib-
ute to the trustees of the State. and
wished that they could all meet to-
gether and exchange ideas. There
are 5000 trustees in the State and
whatever they united in demanding
would have to be done. For patri-
otic, ,unselfish constructive service we
have no more potent factor in the
upbuilding Of our State than the
school trustee. He congratulated

that $4,000 is the least her attorneys
will accept,
The three men, +. G. Clark. Jay
Fitzwator and Watson Scranton who
pleaded guilty, and John Schmidt
who was convicted, have property
alone being rated in excess Of $4,000.
Their pleas of guilty and the conyic-
tion of Schmidt leaves them exposed
for an action for damages and, it is
said, that upon the advice OF attor-
neys, they are offering compromise
rather than to go into court, where
they might be stripped clean.
Clark has transferred his flour and
feed mill and other property, worth
more than $4,000, to his business
partner and it is said is preparing to
leave the community. This transfer,
however can be set aside in the
courts, if necessary.
There is talk, also, in Shady Bend
of changing the name Of the pretty
