PROPOSE A[B|ON.
USCOhB SCHOOL
BETHEL GROVE NEiGHBoRHOOo
WANTS TO ESTABLISH RURAL
CONSOLIDATION.
FILE PETITION FOR
NEW COUNTRY DISTRICT
Opposed to Being Voted Into the A.
bion District, Farmers Farther North
Start Movement Of New Rural Con-
soidation - Superintendent Shut
Considering Petition.

The spring school election at which
territory in the Bethel Grove neighbour
hood was voted into Albion district by
voters of the latter district, has stimu-
lated movement to orsanize new
rural consolidated district in the Bethel
neishborhood and in the southern part
of Liscomb township. A petition Tor
thu organization of the district signed
by thirty nine farmers. has been hleo
with Superintendent c. E. Schutt. he
has it under consideration.
The promoters of the new proposed
district have picked a tentative schooi
site al the southwest corner of section
10, Liscunlb township. which is little
less than two miles east of the Bethel
Grove church.
VIII Comprise Sixteen Sections.
The district rs proposed includes
little more than sixteen sections IN
Iowa, LiscomD and Bangor townships,
all Of school districts 1. 5, s and S. Lis
comb township, the extreme northern
part of the Albion consolidated district
and independent district No. l, Iowa
township that was voted into the AL
bicn district and a small strip off the
east side of Bangor township.
Il Superintendent Shut approves the
petition, probably one of the liveliest
school district campaigns in the county
will be waged. In addition to asserting
its independence in school government,
the Bethel Grove neishborhood. after
being taken into the Albion district
against its will, has retaliated by pro-
posing to slice a small strip off the
northern edge of the Albion district.
Another quite interesting feature is
that some OF the LisComb township
men who were most bitterly opposed
to a proposed cOnsolida ton OF districts
Liscomb, and who succeed
ed in defending that NOV ment, are
now the most ardent supporters of this
district.
