The proposal brought forth more approval than 1 had hoped for from various parti; of the county; but the great lack of agreement seemed to b* as to how it should be worked out. Many were sold on the Idea of the two high schools but thought ft desirable to mpcuh this by conailidat i »n of ih<> townships in either end. with a uoard set up to control ea< it, rather than to

have both under the county board ! Personally I am interested In the end to have secure more efficient and economical schools — rather than in the means or method by whf< h It may be done. I suggested the county organization only because it Is an easier and quicker method of effecting consolidation. iiut your elected representatives, the township trustees, will not vote for such a reorganization without tlie backing of the voters, and this is as it should be. A few objections have oeen raised to such consolidation that I think it might be worth while to consider, f irst, there are those who ' think the single school for six townships would be too la-ge. To consider the high school first we I have bad recently alcotit 600 stui dents in the seven high schools, i This means supplying seven complete high school sac ulties for this number of students ami trying despertately to offer courses in each to meet the various needs of groups of 40 to 120 pupils Aith a staff of four to six teachers in each. To reduce from seven to two high schools would give groups of some 300 jn each. These would still be small schools when compared to modern city high schools; but they would make possible much > broader offerings of high school

■ courses without unreasonable in-| I crease in the cost per pupil. As to 1 the grade schools, the proposal was tci continue using as many of the present buildings for the elementary grades as might be consid-l ered wise; hence the size of the elementary unit can be regulated by tiie board, in the north six townships. however, the total enrollment in the public schools in grades 1-8 at present is only about 600. If these were organized on a junior high basis, the elementary unit. 1-6. would consist of about 400. which can hardly be considered a large school. In the south half of the county the number in grades 1-8 is considerably larger, but there was no proposal to bring all these to one building. Another objection mentioned may be dis|s>sed of briefly it is that your county superintendent by this plan wishes to get greater control over the schools. First, may we note that the board would still be the governing body, and the people would elect the members of the board Next, the term of the county superintendent is for four yehrs only, and his reappointment, or the appointment of his successor, is in the hands of men who have been elected within the past two years Hem e this objection appears far fetched. While we argue about the relative merits of one plan or another, our children are being deprived of modern, well equipped schools with a broad offering of subjec t matter. We are finding it increasingly hard to keep many of the teachers we wish to keep because of the poor schools we support; and yet we arc paying enough per pupil to main tain good schools, if they were prop erly organized. The recently compiled financial report for the town ship schools shows that the per cap-1 ita cost In some of our high schools has gone above the *3O mark for the past year; it seems evident' costs will go still higher. Not more than two or three of our high schools are large enough to secureextra support offeree! by the state for meeting the salary of a prin-, c ipal and hence the community will have to meet this by local taxation There are. of course, many who believe that no building c an be clone now because of excessive- costs But the question is. will a building toclay cost any more bushels of i wheal or hours of labor than one built in a time of lesser prosperity, and will the building w-- secure- ten years from now meet the needs of the children who are growing up now? Many progressive communit ' ies are securing the school fac-ilit ics they are convinced they need toclay; it is by belief we can do the same. If we decide we want them ' Lyman L.

Rankin Easy Winner In Mississippi Vote Incumbents Win Ins Primary Elections By United Press Incumbent congressmen had a comparatively easy time* of it in Tuesday's primary elections in Mississippi and New York, returns showed today. In Mississippi, Rep. John E Rankin, outspoken champion of white supremacy, won handily over the two opponents who had been expected to give- him a tough fight in his bid for nomination to his 15th consecutive term in the house Both Claude Clayton, a war veteran who almost beat Rankin in 1946, ancj circuit judge Raymond Jarvis trailed the 66 year-old Rankin so badly that they conceded defeat six hours after the polls dosed. Three- other Mississippi congressmen also were victorious in their contested races for re-nomi-nation. They were Reps. Thomas G Abernathy. John Bell Williams and William Colmer. Democratic nomination in Mississippi is tantamount to election. In New York too incumbent con gressinen and regular organization candidates wen- generally successful in outdistancing their primary opponents. In Brooklyn, veteran Rep James J Heffernan, a Democrat, easily overwhelmed Frank Ferri, an American Igibor partyman. in the Democratic primary Other Demo ,<rats who won primary races in Brooklyn were Reps Joseph Pfel I fer and Donald 1,. <• Toole. Apparent victors in contested Republic an primaries included Reps Katherine St George, the only woman on .New Yorks 47 , member congressional delegation. | Clarence E Kilburn. W Sterling | Col*-.

New Dealers Americans for Democratic action, anticommunist organization led by new dealers, will meet in Chic ago Sunday to decide what rede ADA will play In the 1948 campaign. Missouri — The Missouri Progressive party appealed to the state supreme court In an effort to win a place on the November ballot. But it appeared that it would have to file the required petitions. Party officials said they had more than enough signatures Anti-Wallace—The "Progressive magazine" founded 40 years ago by the- late Sen Robert M lai Follette of Wisconsin, came out In support of Socialist candidate Norman Thomas for president.
