Jr. ..„ Wwteteut Jota a Melter VU.Proulcnt Cb*e NolteouM ttecretery-Trea»uxer Eye On The Donut There's a popular little poem known to 'moat everyone, which ends up with the food advice, "Keep your eye on the donut, and not upon the hole.” In other word*, take the poaiUve approach. At the preaunt time nine men in Adama county are very busy. They have the job of providing for the reorganisation of Adama county schools. Now the purpose of the reorganization is to provide the best education possible for our children. That’s the donut. Surely our children, or our grandchildren, are worth a little consideration. At least give them enough consideration so that they can receive educational benefits from our local schools which are as good as those that they might receive elsewhere. This is little enough to ask. At least listen to the plans of the local boards. The board is working very hard, and is very much concerned about local opinion. First, everyone must understand that the board has three restrictions. Every school district must: (1) Contain 1,000 average daily attendance, or about 1,100 students. (2) Each pupil must be backed by $5,000 assessed valuation. (3) Be approved, by petition or by election, by the membership of the newly created district. Now, the local board is working under quite a handicap. The handicap is that not everyone fully understands the three conditions listed above. If these conditions are not met, or if the school district votes down the board’s plans twice, then the state board may act in place of the local board. The state board absolutely does not want to do this. We have talked at length with members of the board, and with the state director, J. B. Kohlmeyer, of Purdue university. They want the local people to take up the work, and accomplish'it. - Really, it is very simple. - The state has set very low minimums. The county certainly doesn’t want to set up a poor school district plan. If it does, future generations from this county will be severely handicapped. Knowledge is the main thing we can give our children, whether it be formal, from schools, or informal, from home training. Without knowledge, all the money, property, upbringing, love, and other gifts that we shower on our children will be wasted. — As the level of education is raised, more and more young people want to go on to college to obtain the economic advantages of a professional life, as a doctor, lawyer, engineer, minister, or teacher. Will Adams county keep its eye on the donut, the education of our children, or on the “hole?”

If a girl is being married in a simple, informal ceremony, and she is wearing a traveling dress, does she have a number of bridesmaids? A.
