CONSOLIDATION OF
SCHOOLS EFFECTED

EXTEND SCHOOL TERN
Dorniiney and Horton Consoli
date with Ashton School

Five Ben Hill County schools have
been consolidated into two and the
school term in four of them, which has
been six months, will be extended to
eight months for the lo2l-1o22 school
year, it was stated today by Superen-
tendent ]. H. Billiard of the county
schools.
Eureka and Horton schools will be
consolidated effective with the opening
of school October LIST this year. Both
were formerly one-teacher schools but
according to theA Consolidation plan
three teachers will be retained next
year. A new school house will be built
at site to be selected By committee
composed of R. R. Dorminey, r. L.
Robitsch and w. M. Williams.
According to tentative plans, the
new Eureka-Evergreen school will be
a wooden building as the citizens of
that section of the county look toward
further consolidation in the future
and do not intend to tie up large sum
Of the county's money in brick school
building which may later be discarded.
Dorminey and Horton schools will
be consolidated with Ashton High
school. Seven teachers will form the
Ashton faculty and it is probable that
one of them will be an agricultural ex-
pert with large part Of his salary
paid blythe United States government.
The county schools all close April
9th this year and preparations are on
foot for big commencement programs
at Ashton, Lynwood, and Dorminey
High Skhool.
