An out-of-tcv.n man whom we had
r..ct called recently to tell us how well
: . r was Willi our banking by-mail
. .nice, lie has been depositing with us
regularly fcr several years, and he found it
very convenient to do business with us, even
though he had never been able to call in
i' ji'son.
We have many customers who bank by

certain rules are made for the driver ,th(1 1)ond sRue heTeby aulhorllPd are
to no by, the children from other
schooh will fare better than the near
ones that have to walk. If this could
not be done It would be better for
i every family to furnish a wav of Its
own rather than pay board and tuition
at some other school.
To have a consolidated or high
school at Union would give us a much
larger taxable area, and have a much
stronger schotd that would do much
better work. We know that Is Is very
hard to find Kood teachers for so
many schools, and if we hud a high
school we could Ket teachers much
'easier and some that would stay for
more than one term. The vvotk would
be arranged so that it wouldn't be so
hard on a teucher. The teachers go
to high schools In pieference to coun
try one for that reason. In a high
school more time could be had for
each recitation and better clasg ex
planation, a thing that Is now denied
a public school. Many things could
be taught that we do riot have. Do
mestic science could be taught the
girls, and teach them how to cook a
pleasing meal. The boys could be
taught agriculture, and teach them
how to use tool and brain. Dra-wing
and art could be taught in a high
school for time would be found for
such things. Every girl should learn
music and if we had a consolidated
school we would have enough music
students to pay a music teacher to
come. Music was a failure this past
year for that reason, and how are
girl going to learn music without a
teacher! The boys could have a large
debating society that would help to
train them to speak in public. De
buting and literary societies are said
to do almost as much good as the
knowledge of books, and In a high
school such things would be a success. g
We would have a large number from a
necessary expenses of the city o'
Monroe, within the meaning of Sec
tion 7 of Article 7 of the constitution
of North Carolina:
The foregoing ordinance was pass
ed on the 7th day of March. 1921
and was first published on the 29th
of March. 1921.
Any action or proceeding question
ing the validity of said ordinance
must be commenced within thirty

which to select our athletic team,
and also a better chance to select
pupils for our commencements like
we have been having lately. A high
school at Union would give Us an al
most complete course of high school
work.
It would not onfy help the school,
but It would strengthen the commun
ity, and better organizations and clubs
could be had. The colleges and high
schools are crowded and to have a
consolidated high school would light-:!
en their work. We can see what a I
high school at Union would menu by
comparing ours with such schools. A ' I
consolidated school would not only,!
educate more thoroughly but more
people. We would have a high school !
in reach of our boys and girls, when l
now It Is not.
The greatest advantage I find In a
high school at Union Is that It not;!
only gives those that go to school a
better chance, but by having it within
their reach many a poor family could ,
send their children to high school iB
when they are not able to send them
oft to school and pay board and till-,
tion. It would train more boys and
girls for great men ana women tnat
would battle for the hope, prosperity,
peace and progress of our nation.
