We notice by the last week’s Democrat that the Parr people have another wheel in their head and they will probably get it to whirling; it is in the form of a nevz public high school building. They usually get what they want when it comes to public improvements. This wheel used to be in the form of gravel roads, but now they’bave got all of their public roads graveled and some of their byroads and cow-paths graveled they are ready for something else and will probably get it, too. Now we think like they do, only differ a little. The call states to build a house sufficiently large to school children from other schools that are weak, which it would be cheaper to discontinue and haul them to Parr. Now we would like to suggest that if they want to go in for economy and justice that Fair Oaks would be the place to build such a building as the weaker schools are in the northern part of thetp., and this is near the middle of the tp., north and south while Parr is in the thicker settled part, or rather on the west side, only one mile from the south line and two miles from the west line. We have better railroad accommodations than they, making it convenient for those in the south to come’ up on the morning train and go back on the evening train. Now, we will admit that they have the best accommodations when it comes to good roads, but they wouldn’t if we had got what belonged to us. So far as high school is concerned we don’t believe it &dGld pay to erect one, as they can’t make it as complete as Rensselaer, and there is where pupils would go. We have been informed that there is none so complete in the county and none better than Rensselaer in the state. Our informant, is in a position to know about these things. Nowas we are not in a position to attend the call there will probably some read and get our views.
