COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The State Superintendent has just
sent out a circular letter addressed to
teachers, school officers and others
interested in. education. Because OF
its length the entire letter cannot
here be published at one time, but Will
be published in sections. The County
Superintendent hopes that the people
generally will use this opportunity to
read and study the letter carefully.
The first section is as follows:
"The material for the annual re-
port is in the hands of the printer,
and should be ready for distribution
about the first of the year. | am tax
ing this opportunity to advise all who
are interested in educational matters
of the State as to part of the con
tents of this annual report. The rec
concentrations, of course, are not all
that should be made, and by the time
the next General Assembly meets,
the State Department Of Education in
conjunction with the Legislative Com
mittee of the State Teachers Asso-
citation will have complete program
worked out to present to the General
Assembly for its consideration.
"Among the most important meas
ures to be presented will be that Of
larger school units. The County Unit
Bill proposed at the last session Of
the General Assembly created great
deal of interest throughout the State.
1t was endorsed by the Educational
Committees of both Houses and for
a time seemed sure Of passage. How
ever it was a rather radical departure
from the old order Of things, and per-
hans had some features that might as
well have been left out. However
there was one feature Of the bill that
received favorable comment in all sec
tions of the State, and the State Su-
perintendent sincerely trusts that the
mex General Assembly will give he
schools of the State the relief called
for in this feature of the bill, namely,
larger school units,
ave are all agreed that the rural
schools of the State must be brought
to the point where they will give u
square deal to the country boy and
girl. This can be done by charging
many of the districts Of the State;
that is. the General Assembly can au-
thorize the redistricting Of every
county so that no district would have
less than $50 children Of school age.
The district could have as many build
ings as would be absolutely necessary
or have only one central building for
all the children of the district. real
ize the opposition that might develop
to this plan. 1t would mean closing
up some of the small schools of the
State, and there is great deal of
sentiment attached to the "little red
schoolhouse" where father and mother,
and in some instances, grandfather
and grandmother attended school, but
when sentiment and common sense
conflict, sentiment must give way.

Proper Laws For
Naturalization

Recently West Virginia Judge re
fused naturalization to two strikin,
miners in that state, on the groun(
that their status in joining the labo'
unrest movement and their possible
affiliation with extremists created ,
reasonable doubt as to sincerity IL
taking the citizenship pledge. H,
made 1t clear that the fact they were
members of labor union and tina,
they were taking part In strike was
not the influence that melted his
opinion. The fact that they had sub.
scribed to some of the movements
designed to disregard the laws which
they would have been compelled tc
swear to uphold, caused suspicion OF
their motives and belief that they
sought citizenship as a possible pro-
lection from deportation as the re-
suit of their intended activities.
This judge may have been too eau
tious in a way, but due caution is
needed. Hitherto the danger has
been in too easily and speedily con-
ferring citizenship privileges. Jur-
lists in other localities have refused
naturalization to numerous persons,
who, since the armistice, have seen
the value of citizenship, but who
were content to retain their alien
stat when the war period might
have put requirement on the pos
session OF such rights.
Before congress is q new naturali-
zation law, reported favorably by the
house committee on immigration,
which in principle and purposes
should receive the support of all
Americans. The measure requires
that applicants speak, read and write
the English language. That require
ment is a necessary basic step to
Americanization Of the new citizens.
Another provision eliminates the au-
tomato Destowal OF citizenship be-
cause Of relationship; in other words
the wife and children OF an appli-
cant would be required to take the
oath of allegiance, as we'll as the
male head of the family. With the
bestowal Of suffrage on women in
this country, no reason exists why
women of alien birth should not be
treated as citizenship applicants and
judged according to the rules apply

Thanksgiving Day

1t is hard to find words to express our
thanks and gratitude for the many things
we have to feel thankful for, more so this
Thanksgiving day than ever before.
Many grown people as well as the child
rem look forward to Thanksgiving day as
the day set aside for a real dinner, having
nothing in mind but fat Turkey stuffed
with dressing and all that goes with it.
While turkey goes long way toward
helping us to realize how wonderful it is
not to want for anything, we should not
forget to show and feel our thankfulness in
every way possible, other than eating all
the turkey we can possibly hold.
The past year has been very prosper-
GUS year taking everything into considera-
ton, and we wish to express our thanks to
our many friends who have helped to
make our success possible.
The following are few of our reo,,.

thankful and willing to help our friends IN
the only way we can and that is to give
them the best the market affords for The
