I , V . T \ * i " ? ' ONE DISTRICT WANTS CON SOLIDATION.? ANOTHER OB JECTS TO THE PLAN. The main worries of the bdard of education at its, meeting, Monday were consolidation problcms.The first delegation of citizens to confront the hoard was from Speedwell, which delegation was pleading for the bbard to devise ways and means for their school district to be consolidated with the Cullowhce district, so far as pupils above the fourth grade arc concerned, and for the board to pro vide immediate transportation, by truck, from Speedwell to Cullowhce Ion the children. The difficulty in the way was tlie fact that there isn't time to hold a special election in the Speedwell district to vote it in the special tax district of Cullowhce, al lowing the Speedwell boys and girls the opportunities of the Cullowhce school, this .year. The matter was arranged by the citizens of Speed-, well district petitioning the county board of commissioners to include them in the special levy this year, and an election to be called later. The truck is to be put on fromSpccd well to" Cullowhce as soon as one can be provided. The large pupils are to be transported from Speedwell to Cullowhce, this year, ard a one teacher school is to be maintained at Speedwell for the children Iroin the fourth grade down. A large delegation from the Nor ton district in Hamburg' township arrived bearing a petition, which it was claimed was signed by every citizen in the district except one, asking that that district be not con soidatcd with the (ilciivillc High School district. Members of the ? .* (? hoard expleined the consolidation plan to the people present, statimr that it is the OiMy way in (which high school education can be placed with in thr} reach ol the children of the upper end of the county, and show ing H|iat uud^u the consolidation plan the number oL' classes that each teacher has to hear during the day is reduced from about 20, for a one teacher school, to about 6 for the consolidated high school. The board decided not to override the wishes of the people of the Norton district, although it will to some extent crip ple the Glenville High School, by re ducing the available funds, that it would have got ton for maintenance, this year. And the two districts will not be consolidated at this time. After the meeting adjourned for dinner, a number of the Norton del egation expressed the opinion that when a dependable road is construct ed all the way from Glenville to be yond the Norton school house, that it is proboblc that sentiment as to the consolidation plan will change and that the people there will be willing to the consolidation ol the two districts. They ;ire practically all of the opinion, however, that con solidation is at present impracticable there, as the road for a part of the way becomes slick, muddy and dan gerous for truck transportation, during the winter months. ?j ? ?
