There was a called meeting of
the board of education of Orange
county Monday to consider con
solidating the four districts for
merly mentioned in this corre
spondence into one. There were
representatives there from all the
districts save one. Some were
in favor of and others opposed
the movement. The outcome was
that not hing definite was accom
plished. We hear that there was
quite an animated discussion over
the matter. If they will pardon
us for expressing an opinion in
the matter we would like to say
that it seems to us this matter
rests entirely with the board, and
that they should do their duty
without fear or favor, or being
pulled about by any faction or
party. We have always thought
that the four districts would
make one entirely too large if
consolidated, thereby compelling
some of the children to go a long
distance and making it imprac
ticable for them to goat all in
bad weather. We hope the mat
ter can be adjusted peaceably
and justly and without engender
ing any bitterness, which now
seems to be threatening.
