The trustees of The ST. Johns school
have made arrangements to tyans-
pert the children cf that school 70
! Poala~:s. This is the first school II
Newberry 70 purchase g truck for the
purposs. They sought through the
Fridy Motor company q Tord truck,
htted Up with side seats aid curtains,
! fo- the purpose. Mr.. L. 3. Fridy
made quick connection ii having the
muck ready for use, and Il was on
haad Monday afternoon &Gd made the
j frs: trip cn Tuesday morning. I de-
sire to thank Mr. FriGy fo~ his
pI onp5 wos',s IN having the truck
ready. l was at Pomaria Tuesday
ana i was q pleasing sight 10 see the
children mount the truck When
school w.si oGt ard start the home
ward journey. was sorry l did not
have my kodak so that | m.g?it have
made e picture OF this first truck
s.wnea by the district, making is f;:st
trip with the children OF an entire
school with Only one teacher, 70 a
school With six teachers and 3 recog-
n:zed high school. ! know tae chill
drcn are g5ing - be pleased, and best
of all, they VIII have advantages they
could not possibly have when there IS
onIy one teacher for all the g.c:de5,
from ore to ten. Of course, We have
! had a truck running in the county
now for the second year from the
Old Town school to Silyerstreet. ard
the people are so we'll pleased with
it that they do not think Of changing
the arrangement, bat the district does
not own the truck, and if this was on
ly high school it would be 50 much
! better, ard it would be nucn easier
to have higl school at Silvers.rect
than at Po:ca-:a # the people % the
! community would .or!y get together
and get vision. There is more tax
able property in the district, and
there are more children in reach Of
Silverst2eet than of Pomaria. The
people some day Will see the opror-
tunity that is now bein:: thrown
away in this community, but the trou-
lie is these children who are there
now viii have passed on OFT, end vi.
not come this way any more, and the
! opportunity VIII not come to taem
again. We should have e. nigh Schoo.
at Silverstreet right now with $50
children, and could If the people
could only be made to see i. All
; that | can do is to tel! them.
! the arrangement &. non:&ria IS far
! the good of the children Of botn dis
tricts, as / see it, and l an glad that
! the people have seen it also,
! and I am doubIy glad for the batter
opportunity it gives the Children. /
/ hope by another schcol year - make
an arrangement to have :he children
from Red Knoll sent ever 10 Little
Mountain. There arc a.3out twenty
! FIVE children at Red Knoll, ard ;h2y
could De cared for 1t Lite Mountain
! TO the advantage of the Lite Noun
; tain school ard the greater benefit -
the children of Red KnnN. Fonar;a
now has 35 children in t':e high
school, ard Little Mountain has about
the same. and if we had tha Red
Knoll children going TO Little Noun
:, tain they could then have abou: III"
right Number for two teacher high
schoo,. / GO not believe in too bi" =
school, or OF taking al the children
from The country to the town, but
Lite Mountain and Po:Iara are vi
/, ral communities, and where thcGe
small schools arc near enough - be
transported so that The children may
have the advantage OF h;gl school,
! feel taat they should not be denied
The opportunity.
