Some Thoughts Of
School Consolidation

l. Under the present SYSTEM
we cannot have an ideal school.
We need more help-money. The
County Superintendent says, I'm
doing all l can" The Town Board
says, I'VE are doing all we can
legally The trustees say. We are
already in debt We realize the
the need. Let's meet the Town
Board Thus around and around
we 80, trying to get what the chill
dren need. 1t is only, Think, the
fault Of THE SYSTEM.
2. The proposed consolidated
territory at HOulka embraces 16 So.
miles. Takes in only one neighbor-
ing schoOl-increases the size Of the
present district very little and adds
less than SO ceildren to the last en-
rollment. We can scatter the new
children in their respective grades,
and with the additional teacher
which this would give us, we can
not only care for the extra pupils,
| but do better work than at present
without additional cost To the cOun-
Ity.
8 This proposed district has
about S85,O0O worth of really (have
not investigated personality
three miles of railroad at $4,000
per mile, or $45,OOO, besides about
S22500O in the town Of HJulka,
which is supplementing the county
with a five mill tax.
(a} Is it right for the town to
do all the sapplementing? Is it a
square deal? Do the patrons Of
! this school district living outside the
Incorporation want something fol
nothing? think not. Are the
people of Houlka willing to joir
hands with them in forming
this district-equalize the burdens
! and increase the efficiency of the
school ?
CD This will give taxing basi;
of some S350,0OO instead of $780,.
000-practically twice the present
tax basis. Three miles then would
produce as much as your present
five mills. This would put us il
position to have just such a schOO
as we need, by making the levy
sufficient to maintain the school
We would then have as many
months free term as we are willing
to pay the tax. 1t scatters the
responsibility in proportion to one'
ability to pay, measured by tn,
Tax Assessors books, instead o
tuiticns.
4. We can have as good schoO
under this system as Houston
Okolona and other towns of lk.
size. Is it cheaper to pay few
I mills tax than tuitions ? Is it bet
! ter for the community as a who'll
, whole to have a good school a
, home? Pick up a catalog and Sc
what it would cost you to send you
child to a good school for fe'
: years. Think.
P, 5. If you have no children, as

New York, Feb. 1S,-Fifty German
submarines at the most, will begin the
impossible task of trying to blockade
the coast Of the British isles, which
measures about 5000 miles. This gives
a maximum Of one submarine for every
10 miles, but then only for n brief time,
since submarines must return TO their
bases frequently for fuel and more tor
pedoes.
Tn1re is no evidence that any country
has ever succeeded in establishing sup.
ply bases for submarines ON an ocean
bed. So far as is known, no navy has
submarines capable Of being opened,
with safety, below tho surface Of the
water, otherwise submarine crews could
rescue themselves by bobbng to the
surface In case OF accident,
Germany's submarines cannot keep
at sea for any considerable period, un.
less they remain inactive, and their Of
fensve power is thus lessened by the
necessarily frequent returns home,
II, therefore, Germany has so sub
marines ready for action In the war
zone, the number must be cut in half,
70 far as continuous activity is con
cencd. Half will be refilling at their
base, while the second half is waging
war ON merchantmen. Instead Of nav

Fifty German Submarines to
Attempt Blockade of England

ing a submarine for each 40 miles OF
British coastal waters the proportion
will really be reduced to one for each
80 miles and this is based on the most
liberal estimate Of Gernlany's undersca
strength.
Eighty miles is about tho distance
from New Yrk to Atlantic City A
single submarine could not maintain
blockade Of the Jersey coast between
these two points.
Germany in theory, might hope 10
blockade England IL she possessed 500
submarines instead Of 80 but this Is
only theoretically true, for the moro
submarines to an area the easier be-
comes the defense against them. Tho
most effective part Of submarine g
offensive is the element Of conceal.
ment and surprise Before the number
Of German submarines reached 500 their
whereabouts would be accurately known
and many would be destroyed.
Experience has not yet demonstrated
the maximum strength Of u submarine
fotlla able 10 operate in given area
without endangering their own conceal
ment; but the number Is limited. This
fact, coupled with tae extreme vulner-
ability of submarines makes Il impoesi-
bic that the present type will be able
to maintain nm effective blockade.

Berlin, via Amsterdam, Feb. lS.-Tha
text Of the German reply to the protest
OF the United States regarding Ger
many y'S proposed war on British mer
chantmen was made public today. In
it, Germany firmly reiterates her deter
mination TO continue to the end her
submarine blockade of the British coast
The tone Of the note is especially
friendly to the United States, but II
declares Germany took this step only
after mature deliberation and only
because tde measures adopted by the
English are in violation Of the accepted
principles of international law"
The foreign office declares it is in
fun "accord with the United States
that it is in a high degree desirable
to avoid misunderstanding which
might arise from measures announced
by she German admiralty"
Referring to the German note Of
February 4, the reply today says this
accurately sets forth the reasons foi
the present action.
"rhis action" says the note, els in
no way directed against neutral com
merae, but represents solely Il measure
Of self.defence imposed on Germany by
ner vital interests against England Z
methods Of warfare.
It states that Germany has at all
times adhered to the valid interna
tional rules Of warfare and agreed al
the outset Of the present conflict Ia
ratify the principles Of the declaration
Of London. II points on that Germany
has permitted transportation Of goods
from Denmark, although she has beer
in a position to prevent II.

said they saw nothing Us they wer,
