THE SCHOOLS BEGIN
On Monday morning the
doors of the school build
ings throughout the county
opened, and the children
literally poured through.
To those who visited a
school on that morning it
was an amazing sight-more
students than have ever
been enrolled.
And along with every!
community, every college
and university, and perhaps
most of the schools in the
nation, the schools of this,
county are faced with ina
dequate housing -' facilities:’ 1
It is impossible, with the
present space, to take care
of the increasing numbers,
as they should be 'taken
care of.
It is impossible also, to
remedy this situation in the
immediate future. The buil
ding, begun some weeks
ago at Micaville, which will
take care of two extra clas
ses could easily have been
ready in time if all mater
ials could have been secured
Now is the time, it seems j
to us, that every citizen of
the county, should be think
ing and planning- for the;
future needs of the schools.
And certainly it is the time!
when every citizen, wheth
er or not he is the parent of
a school child, should give
all cooperation to the scho-

wide meeting in the court
: house. Matters of import
ance to ' every ex-service
man will be discussed; per
haps a program of activi
ties can be launched that
will be of benefit to all.
], Veterans, come to the
meeting. Perhaps plans
which will be discussed at
this meeting will prove of
mutual benefit both to the!
veterans and to the county.'
