EFFORTS FOR SCHOOL
MERGER CONTINUED
KAWANIANS HEAR COMMIT
TEES REPORT AND DEFER
ACTION TWO WEEKS.

H. A. Wilkinson, chairman OF a
committee appointed by the Dawson
Kiwanis club at the last meeting to
investigate the advisability Of combin-
ing the city and county schools, in a
report to the club Thursday night
urged immediate steps to effect the
consolidation. There was a general
discussion in which many OF the mem
bers expressed themselves in favor OF
the plan. There was some opposi-
ton. The committee was continued
until the next meeting in order to learn
and report the sentiment OF the peo-
pie OF the county III regard to the pro-
posed merger of the systems.
Mr.. Wilkinson produced hgures OBJ
tanned from the county superlntend-
ent of schools that placed the number
of high school pupils in the county at
Us. which makes the total in the
county and city 800. This number,
he declared. was not sufficient to main
tain more than one high school. From
1914 to 1922 inclusive, an average OF
S4.O7 was expended on each pupil per
month in the county schools, winch IS
S3663 year.
Outside of Dawson there are ten
schools doing high school work
that is. eight to tenth grades inclusive.
Teachers in the county schools that
have high school work serve also as
principals OF the schools. The other
teachers give half OF their time to
high school and grammar school work
Also. it was said. there are principals
who begin with the fifth grade and
teach up through the tenth grade.
Various plans were proposed Among
these was that each school now N the
county doing high school work main
tain Junior high school and that a
senior high school be established IN
Dawson. the county schools contln1ng
themselves to primary and grammar
school work.
Judge NJ. c. Edwards declared that
the consolidation could be effected
easily He said the mayor and the
county school commissioner could
enter into contract and then an
election could be called to vote bonds
for the consolidated school. Both
the city and the county would have TO
vote the bonds or else tHtle "oulu ~
no legal ground upon which to pro-.
coed.
I. c. Dukes, county school superin-
tendent. stated that there would be.
made in the county schools a survey
some time in March, and he thought
it probable that one OF the state Off
cials could be secured to come here at
that time and address them upon the
proposed consolidation.
Among the visitors present were
Charles Johnson, OF Sasser', and u
R. E. Bowman, OF Bronwood. Mr.. T..
II Brauscombe, supervising architect
for the new federal building, was in
troduced TO the assembly and num-
Der OF other visitors were present.
None OF the other committees re-
ported, and most OF the time spent in
discussion was devoted to the school

AN EAR OF CORN HAS
TWELVE HUNDRED GRAINS
A Minnesota Farmer Makes Unusual
Discovery and Is Pleased.

\ lew days ago Herman J. Huso,
Minnesota farmer, read about a
farmer across the line in Iowa exhibit
ing a prize ear CT corn which had
1000 kernels.
Huso didn't believe that he had
ever seen an ear OF corn that big,
but knew that he had some pretty
good sized ones in his own crib. He
went out and picked up an ear, and
figuring by counting the kernels on it
he could estimate pretty well the size
OF the prize ear owned by the Iowan.
Much to his surprise he found that
the ear of corn he had selected held
total OF 1870 kernels, 264 more
kernels than the big ear about which
he had been reading.
