LARGE CROWD HELPS 10
DEDICATE KNOX SCHOOL

A large crowd of patrons, friends,
former pupils and teachers of Knox
District No. A, gathered at the
school house Friday evening to ded-
icate the new school building. which
has just been completed.
A fine program was arranged for
the occasion. Frank Phillips, direc-
tor, called the meeting to order and
made a few remarks. Songs were
sung by former students. of the
school. John G. Engle offered pray
er. John Bolligar gave very inter
esting history of the early days of
the school, gathered from old set
tiers of the district, and told how
eleven old bachelors and two mar
ried men met to organize the dis
trict in 1872
d, S. Engle, treasurer of the
board, briefly counted up the cost
Of the new building. Hostetter En-
gle made a good talk on what the
young people could do Pleasant
features of the program were the
vocal solos given by Miss Vesta Sex
ten. Thomas Easter gave short
address on better rural schools and
their help to a community.
After the program an oyster sup
per was served and everyone had a
good sociable time. The Knox dis
trict is to be complimented on hav-
ing built such q fine modern school
building, and the people who have
put up a building like this. will
surely maintain one of the best
schools in the county.
This is one of the three schools
in the county to be built on strictly
modern plans. 1t is the newest and
most conveniently arranged of the
one-teacher schools. The people of
Knox are wide awake and are keep
ing step with the progress being
made for the rural school. The
only way that prosperity is sure to
come to this class of schools, Is for
the district to provide the conven-
fences for the pupils and teachers.
