debt that we only know how to
increase and not decrease. With
this accomplished, they will be
able to maintain themselves and
their families. God pity them
don't deny the schools any
help.
Mrs. M. of Brookfield pre-
fers smaller schools, as She says
the children will get more per-
sonal attention. We understand
the grade schools will remain
just as they are now, only the
high schools pupils will be trans
ported, and they all are being
transported now, and will have
to be just the same. No matter
what is done or not done, only
the high school students in Belle
Valley and Sarahsville will have
to be transported. 1t seems, in
any event, the schools will have
to unite in some way, if not with
Caldwell, anyway themselves,
and in any case, the mileage of
transporting will be just as
much. This is for high school
students only. This answers Mrs.
c. B. objections also.

CALDWELL MAN SPEAKS

| will try to answer a few
comments that were in last
weeks Journal on the school
consolidation issue.
The three ladies from Sharon
who favored school consolidation
are to be complimented on their
good judgment and understand
ing. But it won't make the taxes
higher, it should make them
lower. 1t will be much cheaper
to unite and build one high
school that will take care of, say
100 pupils, than to build two
schools that would take care of
so each and maintain two sets
Of teachers. Better qualified and
higher paid teachers could be
employed as only one staff of
teachers would be needed.
To the gentleman from Sharon
who objects to any more taxes
for the schools, l would like to
say that while he is a graduate
of Caldwell high school, l am
sorry it did not do more for him.
l deplore the high cost of living,
taxes and wasteful spending of
our tax dollar, but it is not being
wasted when spent on our
schools. 1t is oar useless foreign
aid, which is unneeded and
unnecessary. Many public pro-
jects and improvements that are
not too important should be
delayed.
l deplore the huge debt we
have run up and are still in
creasing as much as Mr.. NJ. E.
does, but the schools are the last
place to economic on. On the
other hand, we should give our
unfortunate youngsters every
possible opportunity to get the
very best possible education. We
may then be able to start paying
off this terrible, mountainous
