Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-03-26

is speaking as a So. Lancaster tax
payer rather than as citizen of Lam
caster city. Else why the lament?
And we assume further that if Mr..
Pierce's farm lay on or close to the
Potosi road instead of well west of it
he would be FOR rather than against
so obvious need. That is the base
of our failure to get any where in the
good roads movement-we are not
willing to see an improvement go
through when it benefits someone else
and benefits us personally but indir-
ectly if at ALL We will never get any
where while we adopt that frame of
mind. Remember the Golden Rule.)

Would a Hard Road to POtOsi
Be Worth 4.5 Cents an Acre?

Because he is modest and has no
desire for the lime-light the man who
wrote the Herald letter a couple of
weeks ago, starting the ball rolling on
the Potosi-Lancaster hard road i'm
provement, asked to have his name
left out Because the statements re-
quired nothing in the way of a per-
sonal signature the office complied.
However, the writer of that letter is
not a liyeryman, as some think. The
man who wrote the letter is William
Mcmahon, Lancaster's postmaster.
AS a government servant Mr.. Nc
Mahon has no axe to grind. He is in
terested solely and purely in the i'm
provement of the mail service. That
is why he wants a good road to Po-
tosi and the Burlington route. 1t is
a matter of improvement of mail de-
livery to the farmers of South Lancas-
ter, themselves.
The facts are these: During the fall
and sbring the post road between Po-
tosi and Lancaster is impossible for
about 31b miles. The Potosi stage, due
to reach Lancaster with the morning
mail at 9 o'clock does not reach here
until noon. AS a result the letters
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-03-26

and daily papers that should go out
on the rural routes at 8 o'clock lay
over in the postoffice until the next
day This is not an uncommon oc-
currence. 1t is the common thing for
weeks at time.
With a hard surface road to Potosi
Mr.. Mcmahon can bank on the mail
reaching Lancaster with the papers
containing the stock market and all
other news of interest to farmers, at
8 o'clock or earlier The farmers can
then be assured of receiving their mail
the day it arrives except for the few
mornings every winter when the
roads are blockaded with snow.
And now the other point: We fig
ure that South Lancaster has 22,040
acres of land. To vote the thousand
dollars asked for the PotoSi road
Improvement would cost about As
cents an acre. That is all. The cost
on a quarter section would be about
81 and just once.
Wouldn't it be worth 81, assuming a
farmer owns a quarter section Of land,
to obtain his daily paper or budget of
letters the same day they reach the
Lancaster postoffice? Don't be con-
fused or blinded by howl Of high
taxes. This is surely case where
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1924-03-26

a little money would mean great
Improvement.
Remember that So. Lancaster and
Potosi voting $1,000 each for this road
will pay but one-eighth of the cost.
At least a thousand dollars will be
raised by private subscription. Grant
county will meet the total with $4,000.
And the state of Wisconsin stands
ready to give $4,000
To help the improvement along the
Herald is giving $40 which is the
same as though we were paying a tax
on 240 acres of So. Lancaster land.
Postmaster Mcmahon gives $25 which
is the same as the tax on $40 acres of
So Lancaster land. We want to help
the good work along. And there are
numerous others.

AMERICAS GREATEST STATESMAN
SUCCUMBS TO FIVE YEARS ILLNESS
MARYLAND WILL AID
P0C0MOKE STREETS
Commissioner Mackall Will Appro.
pirate $4,000 For Improvement
To Market Street

In letter addressed to Godfrey
Child, ESQ.,, dated February 4, Gov
ernor Ritchie states that Commission
er Mackall has given the assurance
of aid in re-laying Market street be-
tween Second and Front; and re-
quests that Mr.. Mackall be informed
as to just when the work may begin.
This will be welcome news to citi-
zens generally. This section Of the
fire swept area has long been an eye
sore and a great inconvenience, not
only to residents but To visitors.
Market street has been widened
and will be improved also by the re-
moval of the telephone and light
wires. A new system of illumination
will be installed, and the two blocks
bid fair to present most pleasing
effect when changes are made.
Again, Cne Rotary CIuD can con-
gratulate themselves on the part they
have taken in the prosecution of the
entire project. The street commit
tee of this organization has been un-
firing in their presentation of this
question, and the authorities just had
to do it to get rid Of the Jealous ad-
vocates of street improvement. This
is the spirit which counts, specially
when those in power can not but see
the force and justice of the claim.
Our representative in the House
has also been most active. He and all
concerned have, indeed, been success
full in bringing to Pocomoke most
substantial and needful aid.

PRESTON P. MASON
BURIED LAST SUNDAY
Killed Last Friday While Loading
Timber. -Interment Made AT
Parksley, Virginia

A very distressing accident occur
red near this city on Friday of last
week, whereby Preston P. Mason, a
young man just entering his 21st
year lost his life.
Young Mason was at work assisting
in loading logs on a wagon. One of
the pieces of timber slipped from it's
fastenings, fell on the unfortunate
boy, and crushed out his life.
Not being instantly killed, he was
extricated from the cruel weight and
hurried toward the Salisbury hospital;
but he succumbed before reaching the
town, dying when near Princess Anne.
Mr.. Mason was born 20 years and
one month ago in Bloxom, Va, and
was the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
A. Mason, the family now living in
Somerset county about one mile from
this city.
Funeral services were held on Sun
day last, and were largely attended,
the number present being estimated
as high as 1000 people. Interment
was made in the cemetery at Parks
ley, Va, the Rev. Mr.. Woodell officiat-
ing. THE active bearers were, George
Henderson, Roger F. Vincent, Dorsey
Evans, Gordy Young, Orville Mason,
and Charles Marshall. The honorary
bearers were James Tilghman, Edgar
Atkinson, Walter Evans, Fred Hen
derson, Howard West, and Claude
Mcdaniel.
Besides his parents, young Mason
is survived by one brother, Graham l..
Mason, aged %; and one sister, Thel-
ma E. Mason, aged II.
The floral offerings were profuse
and numerous, attesting the high re-
gard in which the young man was
held. He was generally liked, a
steady boy, good son, and firm
friend.
The parents have the universal
sympathy of the community in their
distressing loss.

COUNTY TEACHERS
MEET AT STOCKTON
High School Teachers Association
Agree On Resolutions Asking
For Supplemental Budget.

The Worcester County High School
Teachers Association met at Stock
ton on Friday, February 1, 1924.
The program consisted of demon
stration lesson in Roman history con-
Quoted by Principal A. Lee Jones. A
very spirited and profitable discussion
followed the lesson.
The Association decided to hold the
next meeting at Snow Hill on March
7th at which o. Perry Simmons will
conduct a lesson in Mathematics.
The superintendent explained to the
Association that plan was being
made by the Governor to cut the ap-
preparation for schools. This plan
would deprive Worcester county of
several thousand dollars for school
purposes. The county officials felt
that they were safe in planning bet
ter and more progressive methods of
education for the county, on account
OF the Equalization fund which was
written into Maryland's laws In l9ZZ.
This fund is in danger of being cut by
the contemplated plan, and the
schools of Worcester would be COM
PEELED to retrench activities or the
taxes would be increased about 8
cents.
A motion was adopted by the So
ciety that the president be authorized
to appoint a committee to draw reso-
lutions to be sent to the Governor,
urging him to pass a supplemental
budget that would take care of the
Equalization fund, and the chairman
and secretary were authorized to sign
them in behalf of the society.

PUBLIC EDUCATION IS
GIVEN SETBACK in MD.
Existing Laws Set AT Naught By
Governor Ritchie's Cut OF
School Funds.
Communicated


The matter of State Appropriations
for the Public Schools of Maryland is
causing school people much anxious
concern. Not only school administra-
tors but teachers, parents, and pa
irons Of the Public School in general
are regarding the cut in the Govern
or's Budget for school support with
misapprehension.
Small wonder it is that every man,
woman, and child in the State who
understands just what this cut would
mean to our present system feels this
grave anxiety. We are informed by
those highest in authority that the
State School Law as amended in 1922,
cannot possibly remain operative in
1925, 1925, and 1927 under the State
School Budget as proposed by the
Governor. Then what must happen :?
Why Maryland is in danger of drop
ping back to the place, very near the
bottom, which she was occupying in
1918. This would mean shorter school
terms in some places, the employment
of many provisional teachers, which
means those unframed and untitled
for the work of educating the most
precious of the States assets its
boys and girls.
Practically every one is acquainted
with the fact that in 1922 Maryland
through an act of her General Assem-
bly,, provided an Equalization Fund
which was designated to assist the
poorer counties in meeting the salar-
les of their teachers-both rural and
urban. She also provided High
School Fund to aid in maintaining
these schools in all counties. This
was very practical and definite steI
in carrying out the policy Of that ear
ly educator, Horace Mann, who de-
clared many years ago, "The wealth
of the State should educate the chill
dren of the State regardless of where
that wealth is located or the children
reside"
Fifteen counties shared in this E.
qualization Fund-Worcester county
among others. Let us see just what
it would mean to us if this cut be.
came operative. In 1925 it woule
mean a shortage of $S57 to our High
schools but our Elementary schools
would not begin to feel the reduction
until 1926 when they would suffer {
loss of 1921, while our High school:
the same year would lose $1,S03. II
1927 our Elementary schools woul<
lose $8,535 and our High schools tht
same year would lose $2,145. Thi'
would mean the crippling of oul
schools just at a time when education
