POTECASI LUCALS Of interest to the three com munities is the action of the peo pie of Lasker and Rehoboth in deciding to send their high school students to Rich Square, and this action has met with the ap proval of the Rich Square school and the County Board of Educa tion. All three of these schools are special tax districts, and levy and collect a special tax to supple ment the general school fund; but notwithstanding this it was found to be a burden to employ enough high school teachers to give the best instruction in the high school branches, which in cludes the eighth to eleventh grade inclusive. The Lasker school committee called a meeting of the patrons and othel- interested persons in the district, and after fully dis cussing the matter it was decid ed, unanimously, to consolidate the high school with Rich Square, provided the necessary arrange ments cpuld be made. A con ference was arranged with Supt. Oakes of the Rich Square school. Mr. Oakes informed them that Rich Square would be glad to have them and would cooperate with Lasker and the county authorities in perfecting the ar rangements. Rehoboth had al ready made similar proposals. The Lasker and Rehoboth com mittees went before the County Board and the transactions were approved and made a matter of record. On the 13th of July a committee from the County Board met with the Lasker and Rehoboth committees and' ar ranged a schedule for the school truck, which is as follows: The truck will start at Lasker and receive high school children to the State highway No. 305 at the cross roads at C. E Lane's. The 'Rehoboth truck will start at J A. Futrell’s and ,receive high school children from there to C. E. Lane’s where it will meet the truck from Lasker. The Lasker truck will take all the high school children from there to Rich Square over the State highway which is kept in an almost per fect condition. The truck from Rehoboth will load up with child ren and return to Rehoboth. In the afternoon when it returns with the children in the primary and grammer grades it will meet the Lasker truck and take the high school students from Reho both back home. This ^s considered ideal ar rangements for all the schools concerned, will not add to the expense of either, but will be, a saving of expense. Rich Square has all the equipment necessary to meet the requirements of both the State and the Southern As sociation of high schools. This consolidation is in con formity with the policy of the State, and will result not only In a saving to the districts but to the general county school fund.
