If Possible Win Make Eight
Months Term Next Year

BY unanimous vote in Ashton dis
.trict and by vote of eight to one
in the Lynnwood district, the pa
irons of the county's two leading
country schools authorized a S mill
local tax levy for school purposes
Wednesday
The election was quiet and light
vote was polled. Practically no ac-
tive opposition was made to the pro-
posal to levy the school tax.
At Ashton school, with which
Horton and Dorminey districts will
be consolidated, the teaching staff
will be expanded to probably seven,
including United States Depart
ment of Agriculture expert who will
teach practical agriculture.
Superintendent Billiard states that
the school board intends to authorize,
an eight months term at Ashton and
Lynnwood for next year if the funds
are found to be sufficient. The term
will be made longer than it was this
year as six months is considered too
short for best results.
The patrons Of both schools are
vigorously behind the effort for bet
ter rural education and the next
year will see marked progress in
Ben Hill county school work.
