School District
In presenting his argument before
County Superintendent Of Schools
Copeland. at Greeley Wednesday Of
last week. asking for an order for an
election on the proposition Of dividing
School District No. s2. Attorney l. S.
Griffin made the following statements:
The present dristrict comprises LAT
sections.
The proposed division gives the new
district (Keota) 95.25 sections. and
leaves the old district with 6l.76 sec.
tions.
The school population 10 27s. Of which
the new district would have 100. and
the old ll3.
Average number Of pupils per Sec
ton in present district. il l.86: while
the average number In the now district
would be l.6S. and In the old. 2l7.
The old part has one school to about
ten sections. and the new part one
school to maintain to about nine sec
tions.
The average number Of pupils to the
school in the old part ID ZIG. and In the
new. l6.
The total valuation Of District sc II
81. 327. .2o2 OF this. $ll3, ,0e0 70 railroad
valuation. vnd $l5. $40 b The valuation
Of six business places In Keota, leaving
$eo6. 232 for lands and personal prop.
srty.
The figures show IN average valu-
alton per section Of shove 5000: or
approximately $3lQ6 for he Old d.
triet. The Old part would probably
hAve. . gseaAee peepesaieo. - lanA unAse
cultivation. and greater psrsoaal prop
erty per section; while The new hes .
larger proportion Of il land patented.
Considering these facts Il u thoaght the
figures just mentioned would not be
altered materially.
The valuation Of The district for
1917 was $ee6. $50. During that time
the district maintained fifteen schools.
or . school for each Se6. 760 valuation.
Under the proposed division The old dis
trict would have . valuation Of 90, 100
per school. and . larger share Of the
state school fund. because Of The greater
number Of children Of school ags. In
addition. the people Of each district
would have the say Of what improve
ments In their school system they might
care To make.
On this showing Il y thought that the
division cannot be considered undesir.
able in the territory that would COM
prise the old district: and there 70 no
question Of IL dssirability for the ter.
ritory that would comprise the new dis
trict, sffording possibilities - Il does
for building up strong centrally located

M. CT. U. LETTER.

WoOdbine, Jan. 8.--Calls for
patriotic service come to us from
all sides and it is right that we
should give generously of time
and money to The Red Cross, Y.
NJ. C. A. and other war service
organizations. The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union
should also come in for a share of
our contributions; and we extend
an urgent invitation to every
Christian woman TO join our
ranks. The only requirements
for membership are signing the
|nlcdge and paying one dollar per
year in dues. Each member re-
lceives the state paper, The
Champion" and can thus keep in
touch with the work without at
tending local meetings. If not
near enough to join a local union,
send dues TO our county treasur-
er. Mrs. May Jenkins of Dunlap,
and you will receive hearty well

Ition.
