ARBOR DAY ORIGINATED BY SWISS;
FIRST OBSERVED in U.S.. ABOUT 1892

According to an old Swiss
chronicle Arbor Day observance
dates back to the fifth century
when the people of a little Swiss
village by the name of Brugg de-
termined to secure for the COM
mon folks forest of oak trees.
More than a dozen sacks of
acorns were SoWn but for some
unexplained reason they did not
sprout. The next year another
effort was made, but again no
sprouts. The people, determined
to see their efforts produce for
them an oak grove, set aside one
day on which the entire COM
munity, men, women and child
rem marched to the woods, where
each very carefully dug up a sap
ling and transported it to the oak
grove site where a competent
gardner superintended the trans
planting. A merry feast and frol-
ic at the town hall was the i'm
mediate reward for the days
labor but the real reward came

Consolidation of
Four Schools Here
Being Considered
MiIIcreek, Dover, Both
Jeromes May Be Merged;
Committee Weighs Idea

Possibility of consolidating Je-
rome Local, Jerome Special, Mill
creek Local and Dover Local
school districts into one large dis
trict is being considered by res
idents of the area, and a special
committee to study the proposit-
ion has been set up.
The group met April 9 at New
California and named Homer
Christian, president of the Mill
creek board of education, as the
chairman. Jesse Mitchell, pres
ident of the Jerome Local board,
is vice chairman, and Clylea Yo-
der, president of the Dover Local
board, secretary. Other members
of the committee are Robert l..
Norris, president of the Jerome
Special board, and Shields
Sweeney, of Millcreek township,
a member of the Union county
Board of Education.
One of the principal problems
confronting such a consolidation
program is housing for the pupils.
Possibility of a new building was
talked of at the meeting April 8,
but it was the concensus that this
would be impossible to accom-
lish now because labor and ma
terialS are so high.
AS an alternative, and because
of its central location in the pro-
posed area of consolidation, il
was thought it might be a good
idea to build a new gymnasium
and classroom addition to the
present Watkins building and let
this take care of the high school
students.
The committe will meet again
at Jerome on May 3. Prior to
then, the committee has decided
to talk to as many people as pos
sible in order to learn their opin-
ions on the matter. 1t is hoped
that residents of the four school
districts will contact the commit
tee member in their neighbor-
hood and give him their feelings
toward the program.
First formal step toward bring
ing about such a consolidation
would be the filing of a petition
with the County Board of Edu-
cation requesting such a change
be made. This petition, however
cannot be considered, under the
The Union County journal. [volume] (Marysville, Ohio) 1875-1951, 1947-04-17

present law, before 1948. AS the
law now stands, according to Co.
Supt. Gale w. Baldwin, petitions
for consolidation can be consid-
cred by county boards only in the
first two months of even number
ed years. The law, however, may
be changed by the present legis-
lature.
Once the petition is filed, the
county board would then set
hearings on it, at which opinions
of both sides could be heard.
Should 81 per cent of the resi-
dents of the districts protest the
proposed consolidation, it would
be dropped. If less than 80 per
cent object to it, however, then
the County Board can approve
the consolidation, after which it
would be organized as any other
Local school district, a new local
Board of Education chosen, and
made
