truth in the case. lived In Allie,
ghany County over fifty years and
was a school trustee for a year or
so. and resigned for the simple rea-
son that the school board would not
agree to build school houses where
thought was the proper place. They
favored fewer schools and better
ones. This they aimed to do by
building few two-room houses
which. II investigated. win show a
clear failure for such a country al

ties had built school on or near

Mr.. Jeter. superintendent Of schools
for Allegheny. He said he would
take the matter up with the super
intendent of Craig and see 10 some
thing couldn't be done for that sec
tion in the way OF schools, This
was about year ago, and | have
heard of nothing being done yet, and
don't look for anything to be done
so long az two or three men control
the schools as they do now.
Give us law to make those school
officers build houses in reach of the
children and require those children
to attend school unless they have a
good excuse. l also wrote Mr..
stearnes, Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, in regard to this section
OF the State. He replied promptly
and thanked me very kindly for the
information, and led me to believe
he would take the matter up and
have some arrangame made for
those children to get TO school, ptit
as yet I have heard of nothing be-
ing done. / see in some OF my last
