DENMARK PEOPLE
VOTE HIGH SCHOOL
Ballot Gives Directors Privilege Il
Use Academy Building, Equip
ment and Endowment.

At public meeting Of the heads
of families of Denmark township
held at Denmark Monday, a vote was
taken on the resolution. Shall the
board of directors accept proposition
from the trustees of Denmark acad-
envy to use their buildings, equipment
and endowment, establish township
High school and levy tax to support
the same?" The ballot stood So to
~ in favor of accepting the propo-
sition.
The state laws concerning tuition
made some difficulties In extensive
use of the academy and therefore it
was decided to submit the above plan
to the township board Of school d.
rectors. They In turn. to test the
sentiment of the people before final
action, called the public meeting and
asked for the vote which will warrant
the change from an academy to
High, school State Inspector F. c..
Ensign is expected to arrive Satur-
day and he will assist in laying ont
definite course of study TO be follow
ed
The academy is now an accredited
school, like the other High schools OF
the county, and 1t is the intention of
the board to put in a course OF study
which will leave the township school
on the accredited list and give the
children of Denmark township an OPP
portunity Of attending and receiving
the benefits of High school without
the previous tuition and other ex-
penses
The school will be in connection
with the academy, one room to be
set aside for academy purposes and
the township, directors and academy
directors will probably engage the
same man as principal. Two or three
more teachers will be added
! 1t is hoped to In time do away
with the sub-district schools Of the
township and make arrangements
/ for all children of the township to at.
tend the same school.
