inaugurated in Irvington school district
last September by the mass meeting,
which resulted in bringing into our
midst Mr. ]. E. McFerran, of Louis

thusiasm to fever heat, came to sue

vote was taken, which determined,
whether we, as community of enlight.
ened citizens wished to keep abreast Of
the times along educational lines, es-
tablishing in our midst a graded school
with two year high school course
rather than being content to see our
boys and girls denied the right to quaif
freely at the fountain of knowledge.

trict was cast showed that there had
been conducted a we'll organized can
vass. BY vote of 70 to 42-nearly
two to one-the people of the district
have again demonstr ated the fact, that
where vital questions are concerned,
that Irvington people may be counted
on the right side.
