1 now hold q petition from some
Of the people from the Singletary
neighborhood asking that the school
board furnish a teacher for their old
school. This is, of course, the equiv

Dear Supt. Lyon:-Replying to
your letter to Mr.. Brown as to what
Recommendation we should make re-
garding the re-opening Of the Single
tary school which is now part of
the consolidated K. G. school.
To again establish the Singletary
school to soon lead to the dissolution
of the consolidation, it would mean
that the two single room schools
would be take the place of the pres
ent X. G. school. 1t would be dis
tinct step backward and we strongly
recommend that the consolidated
school be maintained.
The X. G. school has an excellent |
building located on q very attractive
site. it is handsomely furnished, the |
teachers are competent and are prop
erly experienced, the pupils and pat
rons are fortunate in having school
that is modern and adequate. Such |
favorable conditions could hardly be |
in the Singletary or any |
other single room school.
With regards, am,
