IBS HBADUStfr. JOHN H. WALHH, Burma. jt ~ * * * - ISSUED KYEtY WEDNESDAY. w ft +.4 Wrtci *1 • *! •.V*VW."r- • -^T4 j GRADED 8CLOOL. U hi believed by many per sons that a vote for tlte “graded school” include* a rot* for “electric light*.” 1 am assured hy Benutor . Morrison that this is uot the esse. You can vote for both, or you can vote fob one and aoaivst the other. Otlter ob jections have boon urged against the graded school (dll. One of these is that, the selection of trustees or directors, is not strongly rep resentative : that some names Mentioned, should not have .been placed thero, and some which are not included, should have been included Another objection urged, is that, the board fills all vacan ana elects its new mem ben, thus perpetuating itself, vif so inclined. In answer to both objections, we would •ay that, tho bill introduced for Rockingham is similar to all, or nearly every bill intro duced in the legislature for other towns. Again, that, any and all objectionable features can easily l>e remov ed at the next term of the ‘ legislature, on petition, by suitable amendment*. Mot boinga citizen of the totrn it may appear delicate - in our pressing this matter upon the people. We do not . do this as editor, but as Coun ty Supt. of Schools. As such, ft is our duty to do every thing in pur power to advance the educational interests of stay section of tlie county, tie to the Jr > - -> —rauiuf f regardless of popularity, or j the voice of public opinion. ‘ Then we esy, lot us take tho ‘ aehool upon tho torms upon which h is offarsd, and trust f" -to the next legislsture to ! make such amendment* to ! the act aa may' be moat ac ceptable to the majority of . our people. The question -is, do the people want a graded school? If so, lot .them waive, for the jMressnt, all objections, and vote for the school, and have ♦heir objections removed la tter. It is a sad reflection on our county town, that we have not had a first-claw graded school years ago, and now that the opportunity is presented, it should not be .allowed to go by default on neeoant of personal prejudice or adverse environments. The gut of the matter is .. this: b a graded school wanted? Ifso, you can get R»—will you take it. Fell ing to accept the opportuni ty, you may regret H. Think before you not. What vehtre said about the graded school at Rooking ham, b intended to apply with equal force to Hamlet,— nr any other section of the nuvny. Hamlet b rapidly assum ing the proportions of a large ' tewn, end it ie eminently proper that all her environ ments bo eoch no are beat calculated to give her rank OQf fdfVDlOft net the least of which is, a ^fBtcflin ffidoH Aoliool i.H .
