OUR COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

There should be an awakening of the people Of Nor
gan county in regard to the needs of the County High
School. There should be realization that the Morgan
County High School is the by which the boys
and girls of the county may obtain the necessary quail
cation for teaching and that something will have to be
done if this school meets the needs of the county, The
faculty is all right and those who attend have the advan
ages that can be had anywhere but there not sufficient
accommodation for the pupils who want to attend
The Courier has been persistenty calling attention
to this fact 1t has set forth the lack of in the class
room, the lack of dormitory accommodations Unless
there are more buildings erected it will not be long long
until pupils in the county not find accommodations
at the school and will have to go to other schools at
much greater expenses be deprived of the training
that is the right of every child in the county,
Business of all kinds is now demanding high school
preparation and without it boy or girl lily prepared to
compete in the business world today
1t is not matter of choice any more. It is a plair
necessity and the parents it to their children to pre-
pare them for the battle of life You have no right To
deprive your child of the proper mental equipment for
success in life
we do our duty toward our children we must pro.
vide ample educational facilities for them.
