and means by which Lamar might

the completion of the new high

regret to all that such good
course should be postponed even
so short time as one year. yet
we must commend the board for
its effort to put the district on
cash basis and to keep 1t so. The
superintendent has extended invi-
tations to the other towns in the
county to hire supervisors on the
cooperative plan. Lamar using the
supervisors two days each week and
the other towns each using the
supervisors one day each week.
Granada Is the only town in the
county SO far that has accepted the
invitation. Just take off your hat
to little old Granada. she has the
grit. If two other towns would
do as well as Granada. the course
might yet be installed. If some
public spirited man could get
$500 worth of good in installing
such a course in Lamar. 1t would
go in a way that would give him
all the satisfaction that could pos
sibly be lodged in that amount of
money. Nothing could be added to
the course of the Lamar schools
