Gifts for Men
GLENDALE

Now that the County Board of Ed
ucation has purchased the school site
and the contracting parties have clos
ed the deal, we are very proud to
think that our new school building
will be completed in time for the re-
opening OF school next fall. Surely
the people of Glendale feel that thew
are consistent in asking for a second
group high school for the vicinity of
Ellendale because of the following
facts: The location is very favorable.
more pupils would receive a high
school course, much expenditure would
be saved for the county high school
that otherwise might be expended with
the special districts of Georgetown
and Milford, more money from the
Smith-Hughes Act. and perhaps. later.
from the SmithTOwner Act if passed
by Congress; many more pupils would
De retained at home, i. e., the influx
to the city would be checked to a
great extent; much opposition to con
solidation would be allayed; many in
centives would be afforded to our pu-
pills to complete the elementary school
grades: better social needs to satisfy
the community; much public interest
in education in general would be
created; and as much consideration
and deliberatiOn have been given the
statement issued by Professor Spaid
August 30 1919. there would be much
support from the State Board of Ed
ucation for a standard second group
high school for Glendale and vicinity.
