ID. L. DALTON WRITES
ON CONSOLIDATION

! Having observed the growing inter
est In the Consolidated school move
: ment and also having been requested
TO express our views along this line
we will attempt to present few re-
marks on this subject if the good edi-
tor will allow us the space in the Old
Reliable this issue.
This is an important matter of vital
concern to all who are really interest
ed in Bodybuilding of our rural school
system.
OF course we know there are some
who do not want consolidation This
is to be expected. Any new change
always has its objectors. Everyone
has a right to his own opinion. They
are honest objectors. While there are
many things TO be taken into consider
alton, we feel sure that with reason
able amount of fulfTlment of these
requirements almost everyone would he
in favor OF the plan once they see the
advantages before them in their own
neighborhoOd-
The chief objection offered seems to
be the distance it would put some of
the pupils from school This of course
would happen to families living at the
extremes of the district, but the trans
portatiOn facilities would eliminate
this obstacle save for one thing, the
condition of the roads. This is by far
the most serious obstacle in the way.
Happily, though, it can be overcome
also with the right kind Of spirit be-
hind the drive While of course the
better the roads are the more cheaply
transportation can be had. 1t would
be no great job TO put most any sec
tiOn of road in shape for motor
vehicle to make a general round over
the consolidated district over Il route
which would be practical and accessi-
BILE to all pupils too far away to walk,
once the patrons became interested
and did some voluntary work in con-
nection with the ever growing improve
ment of our road system.
Some state that this country is too
rough, physically, and too poor. Lis
ten, readers. This writer has person
ally visited a section of country in
our sister state, Missouri, where the
consolidation plan was in full force in
a section poorer and more broken than
any section we have ever seen in Ran
dolph county.
Besides the educational advantages
offered by consolidation II is valuable
in other respects. We aften hear COM
plants being made about the move
ment from farm to city. DO we realize
that a very large percent Of this NOV
ing is done to reach better schools?
This is an established fact. Every day
we see some of the best families in the
communities pull up and leave the old
home in quest of a place where son and
daughter can pursue TO completion
their education which has carried them
beyond the reach of the little one-room
district school.
How nice and convenient CONSOLE
dated school, with its added grades
and more competent instructors, would
be to such a family. No moving away
No board to pay. No going off to some

Who Shall We Select To Repre-
sent Us

To the Voters of Randolph County:
First. / want to say that l am no
politician, but am interested in the
things that make for the good of the
people,
Now as we ALL cannot ALWAYS
be present on ALL occasions to speak
for ourselves, in matters of interest
to ourselves we must choose some one
to act as our proxy or representative
to speak for us on such occasions and
in those matters of interest to us.
So it is in regard to the affairs of
our county: we cannot all go to Lit
tie Rock and there contend for those
things which we believe to be for our
good.
Therefore il becomes necessary for
us to select ONE as our proxy or re-
preventative to represent us.
One whom we can trust; one whose
interest is our interest; one who is
capable of knowing what is best for
the greater number of people; and
one who has the ability to put before
the house those things that will be
for the good of the people whom he re-
presents.
Now who shall we select to repre-
sent us?
We have had many good and honest
men to represent us in the past. We
have had preachers, doctors and law
yers many if not all of whom have
done their best, but / believe NOW is
our opportune time.
| believe we have a chance now to
get THE MAN FOR THE PLACE.
am personally acquainted with Mr..
E. Dalton, who is a candidate for the
Office of representative Of Randolph
county, and in my judgment Mr.. Dal-
ton is a gentleman in every sense of
the word and is fully qualified and eff
cient.
Mr.. Dalton is a man Of real good in
| tClligence and foresight.
Mr.. DaltOn's interests are largely In
farming; he is a real public-spirited
and generous-hearted man.
He is always among the front ones
in any public enterprise.
If we want a real, clean, sober,
straight and honest man, one who will
work for the interest Of the farmer
and for the upbuilding of our country
l do not believe we can do better than
to vote for Mr.. Dalton,
Very respectfully,
e. Il. Kitchener.
p. ST. want to say that what ]
have said In regard to Mr.. Dalton has
been said without his knowledge or
solicitation. l have only spoken my
honest convictions and from a desire
to see the things that are for our coun-
try's good increase and prevail

city school away from parental guild
ance at an age when it is often need
ed most to steer the child straight
into the harbor Of perfect manhood and
wOmanhOod.
We have recently been along this
path. Only few years have gone by
since this writer traversed two and one
half miles of hill and vale to the little
district school back in the sticks"
each night and morn to pursue his
studies and to see, daily, pupils reach
the limit of advantages offered there
to them in an educational way Most
everyone of them would have been very
glad to have gone on TO completion If
there had only been higher school
accessible, Many were confronted by
financial and other disadvantages when
they considered going away to a more
advanced seat of learning. Hence a
majority were prone to give mp to
discouragement and disappointment at
time when their cherished object
could easily have been accomplished
If a Consolidated High School had been
in reach.
Patrons consider the above facts.
Many parents will never be able TO
leave their child anything in the way
of negotiable property but everyone
should try very hard to enable his
child to receive the very best educa-
ton possible. 1t is a better gift any
way For like the crown spoken of in
the Scriptures which is laid up for
the faithful, no one can steal our learn
ing away from us.
"In union there is strength"
While three or four small rural dis
tricts are forced to struggle along sin
gle handed, handicapped by lack of
funds and equipment, the same number
by uniting their strength could build
a modern building, hire first class in
structors, furnish them plenty of equip
ment and have much longer term of
school.
But right here is another matter we
desire TO speak of in connection with
the above. In our opinion we need a
higher school tax. 1t takes money to
run a school right.
In Ripley County, just over the line
in Missouri, at the recent school elec-
tion levy of from sixty TO one hun
dred fifteen cents on each one hundred
dollar valuation of property was voted.
We don't believe in wasting money but
each school should be literally supplied
to carry on all its needs.
Arkansas had had long, hard strug-
gle in her attempts ut public school
system advancement but we believe
that once the consolidation idea is put
in force every where practicable it
will he a balm for all her educational
ills.
We can see very bright future
ahead for our state and county. Why
shouldn't there be? We have the fin
est bunch of school boys and girls in
the world right here. Who knows but
one Of our little barefoot lads we see
every day as his feet patters over our
Ozark hills to school, may some day
be at the head of our ship Of state, a
second Washington or Lincoln. For
this he must have training. Win we
fail him? No.
Time will be when scattered over our
