POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS FOR
: OXFORD CITY SCHOOLS

tages. In the first place, 1T would
permit the city to use for many years
what is in many respects a good
building. It would give the high
school new building so designed as
to meet the needs Of a broader and an
enlarged curriculum. The new build
ing would be so planned that in yeays
to come additions sufficient to house
the elementary school could be made
without destroying the symmetry Of
the building, provided, of course, that
future policy demanded the union Of
the two schools. The weight Of opin-
ion, however, is for a division of the
elementary and the high schools and
especially in schools Of this size.
Many problems of discipline would
be solved and many clashes between
larger and smaller children would be
prevented if the schools were separa-
ted. It is conceded by educational
authorities that better results can be
obtained both in the high school and
in the elementary school when they
are separated. This policy prevails in
many of the school systems no larger
than our own. High school is looked
upon as more of promotion when the
schools are separated.
If Oxford will take care of the edu-
cational needs of her boys and girls
lto-day-her boys and girls will take
Icare of Oxford tomorrow. How
many of US give due credit to the pro-
tective and productive power of edu-
cation? How can any person who
owns property fail to see that a
broader education for our children will
not alone enhance values but will
prove his greatest safeguard in his
property rights? How can any busi-
ness man fail to see that money spent
| in building and maintaining the best
school plants will benefit business and
help the community manifold How
can the professional man and the la
boring man fail to grasp the idea of
earning capacity and larger pleasures
| of their loved ones that will naturally
lresult from better schools? An edu-
cation, general and industrial, that
the proposed expenditures would en-
able the city to extend to its children
| is beyond doubt the greatest destroyer
of the imps of evil and the most potent
factor of good citizenship. In view Of
these facts, how earnestly and how
|assiduously should every good citizen
strive to give Oxford a public school
system that will serve the needs of
our children and that will reflect
credit upon our city as the seat of the
great university of our state. How
fitting it would be to have our city
schools the model for others in the
state to follow! Certainly our citizens
will not permit the present deplorable
conditions to continue.
