INJUSTICE
Is Done the Citizens Of Mt.
Clare in an Anti-High
School Article.
Rr W. N. Morris.l

II WY We us llUIElhsl
MT. CLARE, June 3.-The Clarks-
burg Exponent in the issue Of Satur-
day, May 80, contained an article
signed II. c c." and purported to be
written from Mt Clare anent the prop
osition to establish high school at
Lost Creek that does an injustice to
our town, and more especially to its
large school population, which
will compare very favorably for in
| telligence with the schools Of Lost
| Creek, or other rural districts OF the
county.
III. c. c." misrepresents the case
when he says Mt. Clare is COMPETE
tor for the school. 1t is not now, nor
ever has been in the race against Lost
Creek for the school The only prop
osition to be voted on at the election
to be held June 30, is whether Lost
Creek shall be granted the school or
not
1t is true that the taxpayers in gen
eral here are not much concerned over
the matter, and number of the voters
were favorable to the proposition, but
! a few more letters, such as the one
referred to, may create considerable
opposition.
Let us admit that considerable per
cent Of our school population is of
foreign birth, but after deducting all
Of that element from our school en-,
rollment, we will still have larger
enrolment than has Lost Creek.
Now, as to the insinuation that Mt.
Clare can never have many scholars
ready for the high school, l will ven
ture the assertion that Mt Clare has
a larger list of "eligibles" right now
than Lost Greek has. Already no
less than twenty have passed the
eighth grade, and fifteen are now
awaiting admission into some high
school, and the list will continue to
grow, and on this list of eligibles TO
the high school is one of the irrespon-
sibles of foreign birth whom we will
match against the average OF the
eligibles of Lost Creek.
| But the most cruel declaration made
by III. C. G." was his statement that
no one outside Of Mt. Clare would
think Of sending their children here
to school without the protection OF a
guard, owing to the terrible immoral
| NOiGlblOuS IAdI prevail mere. N0lle
the moral atmosphere is not Of the
highest standard, we fear that Lost
Creek has nothing on Mt. Clare to
boast OF. Mt. Clare's worst sins are
Sunday ball games, and excessive
beer drinking, and Lost Creek seems
ever ready to meet our boys" on the
half way line upon easy terms. Beer
in large quantities will soon be one
of the impossibilities, and then we
hope to have town al. c. c." will
not be afraid to pass through I'M
guarded.
This reply to III. c. C." is not writ
ten because Mt. Glare is competitor
for the high school, but in defense OF
the honor of our town, and some OF
, as good citizens as live at Lost Creek
and who have been unjustly assailed
by III. G. c." who is deceiver, for II
he lives near Mt. Clare, III c G" does
not represent his name, and II he IS
at Lost Creek, 1t was deception to
head his letter at Mt Clare. I am
glad to learn that the best citizens
of Lost Creek resent the tenor of the
letter referred to, which they think
was written by an enemy of the
school,
