Fair Oaks Makes Claim For High School Building.

Yes! Fair Oaks wants the high school building, and as the high school class was established here this winter and taught successfully by Mr. Johnston, we don’t see #ny reason why we shouldn’t have it. This location is almost centrally situated between the high school at- Renseslaer, Wheatfield, Mt. Ayr, and Shelby. The milk train runs ;ust right for the pupils to come rom Parr and vicinity, and there is already two school wagon routes coming in here. The school buildng here has been considered unsafe in windy weather, it being old and built right on the brow of i hill. The patrons of the school here have been trying to get a permanent high school for several years and now that we have it started, just give our place the preference. But don’t let anyone think that our school building here was set on fire by anyone who cared about the higher education, for such persons would not do such a reckless deed.
