Letters To Editor

February 13, 1861
To The Editor.
This is an opinion OF a 7th
grader student of our American
way of life. GAGE IL years.
A true Democracy is a govern
ment governed by the people. AS
an example, "If man weEe on
trial for murder, the entire vi
cinity involved would vote for the
innocence or guilt and the major
ity would rule"
A true Republic is where the
law governs, and not the people.
AS an example, Russia who runs
but one candidate for head of the
government, picks not only his
own cabinet, but all government
officials and also makes the laws
by which the people must live by
whether they agree or not. The
people cannot change governments
when they want to.

Clayton Smyrna
School Boards
Call for Vote
On Consolidation

The Boards of Education of
the Clayton and Smyrna School
Districts decided on Tuesday
evening, December 5th, to hold
a referendum in March so that
residents may vote on pro-
posed consolidation of the two
school districts. This action cul-
minated two years of study of
the advantages of such a con-
solidation. The decision to hold
the referendum was unanimous.
The boards of the Smyrna and
Clayton Districts have been
meeting periodically over the
past several years to discuss
the possible consolidation. In
addition to the educational ad-
vantages, the boards feel that
such a consolidation is neces-
sary if additional junior-senior
high school facilities are to be
provided. These facilities are
badly needed with 780 pupils
now enrolled in the John Bas-
sett Moore High School in Smyr-
ma which was originally con-
structed to hold a maximum of
$50. Enrolment by 1864 is ex-
pected to reach 1000. Open
meetings where all residents
may hear of the consolidation
proposal have been planned for
the early part of next year. Any
civic groups interested in hav-
ing a board member speak to
their club should contact the
board presidents. All board
members were present at the
meeting on December 5th. They
include: Harry w. Moor, chair
man, and Mary w. FARRELL, DR..
Richard w. Comegys. and 6.
Francis Downs, members of the
Clayton Board and Mrs. Mar
garet M. O'Neill, president, and
Norman G. Wilder, w. Howard
Nowland, and Francis B. Geb-
hart, members of the Smyrna
Board. At the present time the
Smyrna district operates a 78-
teacher school including grades
liz and Clayton district oper-
ates l5-teacher school includ-
ing grades l-8. Clayton pupils
are given their high school edu-
cation in Smyrna. Under the
proposed consolidation the Clay
ton and Smyrna Districts would
become one, operating an edu-
cational program from grades
l-l2.
