SCHOOL FOR CRESTON.

The people OF Creston should be
provided with the proper school
facilities for the education of their
children. Crestons school problem
arises from the fact that it is located
on the boundary line between West
Creek and Cedar Creek townships.
About as many people are on one
side of the line as are on the other.
While there is a large population
in the vicinity of Creston its geo.
graphical location has been such that
the trustees of either township have
been reluctant to spend the funds of
their respective townships for the
construction of a school building.
Over fifty taxpayers have signed
petition demanding the building OF
two room modern school house. AS
the situation now stands the people
of Creston are compelled to send their
children from the thickly populated
territory in which they reside to the
thinly settled neighborhoods just be-
cause of that imaginary line, the
township line. separates the town in
to two parts
From a casual study of the prob
lem it seem that if the township
trustees of the two townships were
men of ordinary capacity and re-
source that they could find some solu-
ton of the problem.
- - -
building of joint school house by
the two townships there is a provi-
sion by which one township may
build the school and the other may
contribute to its support by the pay
ment of stipulated tuition fee for
each student that attends from the
other township.
The people of Creston have the
right to demand better school facili-
ties. They have the right to demand
that they be given school house
that will be suitable to their needs
There is no getting away from the
school children in that locality who
should be provided with a schoo
house and until the problem is solved
it will be an everlasting source OF
annoyance.
The people of that communit,
have certain rights and the township
trustees might as well come to tn,
conclusion now that they will ge
them sooner or later and make som,
effort to solve the problem.

Many great and noble man has
