township schools, and there are a few . ethers circulating stories and some f things, which are to prejudice the 1 people against the greatest movement e known to rural people. Then the article in the Democrat the other day was filled with praises for the school informing us that the people and those in attendance were more than pleased with the school. Now we do not doubt, but that Jefferson township has her Scrooges. We have a tew in Blue Creek township. would like the people of our township to get a few truths once in a while. I would also like to suggest that some good fellow in Blue Creek township get around a few more good fellows, and go to our one-room schools I and gather up the boys and girls who are supposed to complete the Bth grade this year and convey them by automobile to the Jefferson township [school. Have them take their lunch and spend one day. I know J am safe in sayijig they will learn more in that one day than they will learn in a weejt [in their own school. I chanced to talk with one of our j girls who expects to complete the Btli grade this year. I said to her what i are you going to do when you com-, jplete the grade, she replied, she did - not know. She is in her 14th year | The law says she must be in school I until she is sixteen. She is a bright . girl but says she hates the school and I says she will not go to high school. Shi) i has never been in touch with high school work and knows nothing about it, but has the idea it will be the same old dead work she has had to go through with in the one-room school. She hates it —They nearly all do. They would not be bright if they didn’t. Now she is a poor girl like many others, and an education is all she can hope for to help her through IKpl Ninety-five per cent of our Sth grade?s are in the same position when thpy complete the grade. They have conib to the jumping off place. As one matt expressed it was like placing the chilwviv ■ ewiapipie' tire grade BH~ar I large wheel and turning it rapidly, I scatter thorn they know not where, I leaving them to find themselves. Godd I people who is going to come to (lie I rescue of those neglected children. | Remember duty done is a souls I fireside. “AWAKE".
