A Letter at Last On School Matters
To the Editor of The Renuhlican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Dear Sir.-Since you made mention
of ''no letters" on the school subject
here is one which l wrote when the
question first appeared in The Re-
publican. The reason / never sent it
is we have been trying to have ou1
school difficulties adjusted, but Mr.
Rathbun seems to want his own way
even at the cost of higher expenses
to the taxpayers.
We have 10 pupils available for ou1
school (his first excuse was that we
didn't have enough pupils) and he
has been since April putting US off
when we reopen the Walnut Bottom
school would be less expense than to
build an addition to the Mt. Zion
school house.
1 only wish you could see the condi-
ton of our roads. In the winter the
roads drift until it is impossible fol
the bus to get through, yet Mr.. R
insists on trying to transfer by bus
believe in transferring by bus OF
high school pupils but absolutely not
of grammar school pupils. Roads in
rural districts will not allow it.
Other ideas and suggestions: Try
ing to consolidate rural schools is
causing Generalization of not only
education of our children, bat injur-
ing their health and causing taxes to
be raised. Our children here have been
forced to miss school on account OF
the bus not getting over the road.
Health: How can crowd of young
sters be healthy when packed ten to
thirteen in a 5-passenger car five
days a week, or in a bus which is used
for every purpose? Sometimes dust is
stirred up so thick one can scarcely
breathe.
Taxpayers Money: Being used to
build additions or new school buildings
when the old ones should never have
been disposed of. This is all uncalled
for.
In our community the bus has been
transferring our children to Mt. Zion
school. This school has a seating capac-
ity of 81 pupils. Last year there were
32 pupils (no graduates). This year
there will be II to Is new ones. We
suggested to Mr.. Rathbun that he re-
pair our school building and appoint a
teacher. So far he has refused. If he
continues to transfer them to Mt. Zion
it will mean the expense of building
another room Gan expense greater than
repairing our school building) appoint
ing an extra teacher for the new room
and still pay bus drivers salary.
Where is there any economy in that ?
If matters were looked into several
other such cases would be found, l be-
lieve.
The answer to cutting down ex-
penses, better health, education, more
regular attendance, respect for law,
etc., is a return to the school houses
which have been abandoned.

FANS DEMAND NEGRO
BIG LEAGUE PLAYERS

NEW YORK, Feb. Is (CNA)-
Under the leadership of the Brook
Ign Federation of the National Ne
gro Congress, scores of organize
lions are making direct appeal to
the management of the Brooklyn
Dodgers to drop the ban on Negro
ball players and engage Satchel
Paige, sepia pitching marvel. The
campaign is actively supported by
the Daily Worker, which last sum-
mer raised the demand for Negro
players on major league teams.
So far, other than President Ste
phen McKeever's passing the buck
to his manager, Burleigh Grimmes,
no decision has been announced by
the Dodgers office.
The Brooklyn team is badly in
need of good players, particularly
of men who can hit and pitch. A
man like Paige would be a strong
addition to the team. The catching
staff also needs aid and several
Negro players are available who
could bolster the receivers.
But discrimination against Ne
groes has kept such favorites as
Paige, Josh Gibson and many 9TH
ers out of the big leagues. Now
for the first time in baseball his
tory, mass pressure of many thou
sands of fans is being exerted to
force the management of one of the
big league teams to let down the
bars.
