Consolidation.

Editor Emmons County Record:
In order to get before the people
what we are trying to do down here
in Glanavon. Think it would bebest
to use your valuable space TODD so
if you would kindly give space for
the same. We are trying to better
conditions down here IN the matter
of schooling and some Of US think to
use the consolidated would be the
better. 1tlreally will not cost any
more if we go at it right. Sell the
old school houses and use the pro.
ceeds to build a building that will
call for state aid, which will amount
to 5000 or more. and use the private
system in transportation. OF course
the carrier system will cost a good
deal more down in these regions, hut
let that out for a while until we get
better roads. etc. At the present
we are paying what will amount to
about $500 per school term for
transportation. By having IL con-
solidated We can use the same

DASHED HIS HOPES OF GLORY
Wouid.6e Military Hero, Aged Eleven,
Recognized Call That There Was.
No pisobeyInu.

Senator John Sharp Williams was
never in the Confederate army. But
the fault is not his. He started with
the best intentions, as well as with
knapsack filled with good lunch.
The war was at its height when he
was big boy Of eleven. and as his
father was in the army, and dozens of
friends and relatives had gone forth
to battle against the dreaded "Yank,"
John Sharp one night decided that his
country called him to arms. The fact
that he was only eleven, and about the
only road he knew was that to the
candy shop. did not deter him. Out
in the darkness of the night the call"
of his country sounded as loud as the
dinner horn to hungry field hands.
So young William arose and set
forth down the road in the early dawn.
And as he tramped down the lanes Of
dust, past the still -farmhouses over
which hung the early smoke from the
kitchen chimney. he dreamed dreams
of how he would come back on
prancing charger covered with glory,
gore and gold lace. Then suddenly
behind him he heard the lope of an ap
preaching hcraeman, Looking back,
he saw 1t was old Uncle Zeph on the
blind mule. Uncle Zeph pulled up the
mule with a jerk beside his young mas.

better be gittin' back home in n hurry
She amt err goih' ter stand fur no SIGH

he'll tote us home ter breakfast"
So John climbed aboard the mule
and turned his face homeward, leaving
In the ashes of dead past his high
hopes Of military glory.

left for the printer and he already
owed the neat little sum of Sc. so for

was familiar with the contents of all
the late issues Of the Record so it is
to be presumed that he has found a

is now sponging off some one else
rather than ourselves as he has been
doing for years.

1t is to be presumed that any
newspaper or job-oiiice is established
for the prime purpose of making Ii
fair profit on the investment. How
ever. there is always the danger that
new concern will resort to the
method of cutting prices in order to
get foot-hod. Whether the Rec
cord secures its usual job. work or
not, we will of course attempt to
maintain the legitimate prices.
Our prices are based on the
customary and prevailing ones of
the country Offices of the state
and those prices are based
more or less directly on what is
known as the cost system. While
it is but natural that the average
customer will desire to take ad-
vantage of any possible saving of
cost in printing supplies. we will
deem it a favor if any of our friends

The Harvey Herald is another
state paper to drop the publication
of department printed in the Ger
man language. Harvey is in the
midst of large settlement Of Ger
transporting people and the condi-
tons are much the same as in some
parts of this county. The Herald
publisher states that the German de-
partInent is being discontinued for
the reason that the revenue derived
was in no way commensurate with
the cost, also that many of those
who were not familiar with the
English language in the earlier days
when the project was first attempt
ed are now able to keep in touch
with current events through the me-
dunn of the English department.
The Record attempted the puhlica.
ton of German paper in the early
days. 1t was finally discontinued
because of lack Of patronage. And
now. nearly two hundred of the sub
scribers of The Record are German
speaking people who were formerly
unable to read line of it. Now.
however, either their children or
themselves are able to make out the
English print and j. is then trans
lated to any of those who are unable
themselves to master the English.

A couple of weeks ago County
Superintendent of Schools Lester
Briggle called attention to the fact
that there is some interest in the
matter of consolidated schools in the
southern part of the county. This
week we publish letter from John
Biddlecomb. of Ganavon, a school
district which is about to attempt
consolidated school. The PROPOSE
tion is receiving much attention
throughout the state and some
counties have wonderful schools de-
Veloped as a result of such policy.
There is no question as to the rel
alive amount of efficiency attained
in school work through the agency
Of the old and the new systems. In
the nature of the thing it is impos-
sible to ask for a very high grade of
school work where there are several
little country schools in Il district.
one teacher having perhaps half
dozen pupils and the pay being
such that only the poorer grade Of
teaching ability can be secured.
Like everything else. there is bound
to be increased efficiency through
increased corporation.
Of course the question of expense
must be met 1t is said that in most
cases the cost not greatly in ex-
cess of the old system and the re-
turns are much greater. Consolidat-
ed schools are in position to secure
state aid which is denied the ordi.
nary country school. If the people
of Glanavon can work out this new
method successfully they will have
made a rapid stride forward E the
matter of public school facilities.
1t will devoIve upon the school dis.
trict to provide means of transport
tation for those living far from the
site Of the consolidated school, but
that thing is being met successfully
in many, many cases in other parts
of the state. Should Glanavon sue
coed in their project. it will cause
many other districts in the county
to follow their lead. The PROPOSE
ton is entitled to deep consdera-
ton. at least. and the attempt will
be we'll worth the effort expended.

msans I'd transport and which, ] be-.
lieve, would be the most satisfactory
to all. The chief objection to the
consolidated is the cost. We get
better returns and it ought to cost
more; we get better attendance;
high school privileges and state aid.
Considered, it is cheaper school by
a good deal than what We have at
present.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.
Notes From the County superintend-
emf of Schools.

The week beginning Jan. Is was
very busy one in the Office as there
was much work to be done in con-
nection with the State Department.
Have been in correspondence with
N. G. Macdonald, State Inspector of
Consolidated Rural and Graded
Schools. in an attempt to get q
speaker to come into our county.
Have hopes of getting C. C. Schmidt
of the State University to come to
speak to schoolboards and patrons
in neighborhood meetings. Mr..
Schmidt was the first one to. get out
any literature of Importance on con-
solidation and is authority on the
subject. These state officers are
specialists along this line and the
County Superintendent feels that he
cannot devote so much time to con-
solidation when we find 80 many
children who have not had any
school advantages whatever.
While on five days trip through
Lipps. Wlnona. and Glanavon School
Districts, which are in the south
west corner of the county, was in
formed of teacher whose name
could not be learned, who had raised
some $50. by giving Basket Social.
Such efforts are greatly appreciated
by school boards and patrons. The
funds are usually used to purchase
organs. libraries, etc., and these add
to the attractiveness of school life.
In an effort to raise funds for the
purchase Of an organ. Miss Regina
Farrell of 'Danbury school district
made over $78 which will buy the
organ and supply of books for the
library. also.
Mr.. H. O. Sauer of the school near
Glencoe, who conducts popular lit
erary society, writes US that at the
next meeting the discussion of Con-
solidation will be considered. He
will distribute literature on CONSOLE
dation among the participants.
Much interest has been manifested
and great deal of preparation is
being made for this next session and
it will be we'll for those interested
to make a special effort to attend
this meeting. This weeks Heart
beats" promises to be hummer.
While in Lipps District the school
board established new school 10 the
home of Mr.. Barrett. Fifteen schol-
Lars who have not been in school this
year will be provided for.
On request met school board of
Exeter School District at Strasburg
Sat. An agent of the Northern
School Supply Company was pres.
ent. The school board equipped
each school with the best set of
maps and dictionaries that could be
obtained. tits gratifying to note
that the school board considered ex.
cellence of equipment rather than
price.

inch and in many instances less.
However, as the subscription list of
the Record grew and the general
cost of living and material increased
that rate was raised to l2a cents.
Even at that. the rate is much low
er than many Of the state papers
with even less circulation than the
Record. We will say therefore that
the regular price will be maintained
at all times. The only exception to
this rule is in the matter Of quantity
contracts. OF course. where a firm
carries large amount of display adj
vertising they will be given the
usual quantity discount. But this
is one point for the advertiser to re-
member: When publisher offers
you advertising rates at 10 cents an
inch or less he may be really charg-
ing you much more than the Rec
ord's price. Suppose his circula-
tion is one-fourth or one-third that
of the Record and his rate four.
fifths. 1t doesn't take. much mathe-
mates to determine that you are
really paying much higher for the
service rendered. for all advertising
prices, no matter whether the medi-
um used has one hundred or one
million circulation, are in reality
determined by the number Of SUBJ
scribers into whose hands such adj
vertising will be placed.
