The Sullivan Schools
With the close of World War II, the American public has been confronted with the most perplexing and crucial economic, social and political problems in its entire history. Education in an atomic age is the key to peace and prosperity
or to national chaos in the next few years. The pattern for many generations to come will be fashioned by this generation. The public schools are our one universal institution. All the children of all the people are required to attend school for a minimum of ten years until sixteen years of age. Higher education is available to all. In a few short years the
pupils ot today will be determining the destiny ot buinvan, the State of Indiana and the United States. Sullivan's schools, tliprpfnrp. should hp of vital rnnc.ern to evervone in Sullivan.
. , K Many of us have witnessed the passing of the little red school house. Just so today, the death note has been pronounced that is to seal the doom of the small school of inefficient operation and mediocre offerings because of limited facilities. Sullivan is sufficiently large to operate satisfactory schools for this new age; whether it does or not will be determined by the people of Sullivan. The schools of Sullivan are administered by the superintendent for the Beard of School Trustees, who are appointed as the responsible administrators by the Common Council. The members of the Common Council are elected directly by the people so, in the final analysis, the people of Sullivan determine the kind of schools Sullivan is to maintain. : : . Sullivan is blessed with fine school trustees. The current resignation cf Attorney Hijikle C. Hays brings to the attention of all cf us his fine service for and devotion to our schools. It is to be regretted that pressing private business precludes his continued service on the School Board, but for his fine contributions and those of Mr. H. W. Branstetter and Dr. J. Ilarve Crowder, we are indeed grateful. We do know that our Common Council has , accepted its responsibilities with regard to our schools and we acknowledge its leadership. It is reassuring to know that Superintendent Campbell's administrative term has been extended for the next few years and that a desirable school program has been outlined and is being developed with the approval of outstanding educational -authorities; We are sure that the Sullivan Schools are wdKuughraud that we have a fine group of men and women teachers. Perhaps we are not aware of the vital problems that even now confront our schools. Many parents feel that kindergarten training should be
offered. The answer that there are no rooms available, is perhaps distressing but how startling is the truthful statement that within five years there will not be enough rooms for elementary pupils, not taking into consideration the desirability of those now in use. It is almost twenty-five years since the science, music, and home economics rooms of our high school were first used. Few of us today ride in pr would be satisfied with a 1924 model car. The implications are obvious.. The bottlenecks of needed school improvements may be summed up in two words, costs and taxes. School taxes next year will be materially increased by the new mandatory teacher minimum salaries and we will all agree that not even then will teachers be overpaid. II The crux of the issue is whether or not additional taxes will be ussumed to expand the school plant and add needed equipment. In the same predicament as Sullivan, Columbus, Martinsville and Blocmingtort have set up cumulative building and equipment funds ranging from one dollar down on each $100 of taxable property. A 1917 statute limits the levy now to seventy-fi,ve cents per $100 of assessed valuation for a period of not to exceed 12 years. What is the alternative? Unless a systematic saving for building and equipment purposes is begun at once with limited taxation, only too soon will we all be shocked by the necessity of doing something at, once.

Dear Sir: I wonder, how many have read about and saw the pictures in the papers of the terrible sentence awarded - five of our American boys in Tokyo? Didn't the government take , our little sons away from us and teach them the art of destruction and murder? Why then would it be any different to kill a Jap when their poor brain was befuddled with liquor, than it would be to
kill them in battle. I know they
need punishment of some kind but surely our people will not let them put this boy to death for ridding the world of a few yellow devils. I am the mother of a boy who fought and died for his country and these five boys are from his own outfit, and I feel as if he had died in vain if our country don't interfere for this brave lad. People of Sullivan and our own United States do something; rally to his cause. Let's not let him die for disobeying the regulations when he was over there to die for us. Sincerely yours, A War Mother "Gold Star"

actually only sixty cents of the taxpayers' money went into building and equipment. The choice of the road we are to
travel is curs and we now stand at the crossroads. Some fifteen years apo, the State cf Tndin.i by law made it impossible for the state to incur debt by bond 'issue or otherwise ' and entered on a pay as you jvo projrram. If this has been good for state .crovermnent and time has proven such it would i seem that local taxing units could well afford . to follow a 1 similar pattern. Our School Board has w'th great care and. diligence scouted the alternate paths confronting: our schools and has charted the course that leads to the desired objectives with the greatest assurances of success. The current School Administration has consistently informed the people of the hazr ards ahead. Just last June, they, offered the people an opportunity to act but received no public support. It was em
phasized again m the President s report to "the C;tv Council and Teachers' Federation at the annual teachers' dinner last Friday night. Sullivan's citizenry has furnished a conscieiv t.ious and cnurrgeous school administrat'on but it has failed to back their program. The school administration has pointed the road but no authoritative groun of our rjeople has indicated that they wish to prepare for the trip and make the journey. It is not yet too late but the time s quickly passing. Until such a time as an active PTA or a Chamber of Commerce or a Junior Chamber ef Commence or some organized md active agency of the people individually and collectively insists that the trir be made.' the fare paid and the dest;nation reached, Sullivan, Sullivan's children jnd Sullivan's future re-" main in jeonardy and failure of positive action for better school buildings and needed school buildings and eqirpment will inevitably re-sult in the forced walking of the alternate path to undesirable spending and eventual' dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Thoughtful citizens of Sullivan we stand at the crossroads the choice is yours,

THE Empress continued to shower her guests with gifts appropriate for a lucky "bird of golden plumage." But the lush contentment, Walter and Maryam knew, could not last. Indeed, it ended with shocking suddenness . ,' . CKang Wif visited them one afternoon, wearing an expression of intense anxiety. "Ch'aing-cha has fallen," he announced. He described how Bayan's men had taken the nearby city and put the population to the sword after being ordered in by the leader himself. "This means," said Walter, "the road to Kinsai is open." "The Mongol armies are oh the march. The Empress still refuses to see the light. The time has come for the 'bird of golden plumage' to disappear if w6 are to shake her foolish belief in an old prophecy." ; Walter asked, "Can we get away?" ' '
"Plans are being made. You will be told soon." Walter felt distinctly Uneasy. The Peace party, he knew, .could afford to stop at nothing to bring about his removal. Chang Wu would try to spirit them away but if he failed, anything might happen .... They had heard nothing from Father Theodore who had been dispatched as a messenger to Bayan, informing the warrior chief of the magnitude of the peace movement in Kinsai. Walter felt that Bayan would not hold against him the weird circumstance which had frustrated his mission. That, however, did not insure safety for them. - ' When Chang Wu had gone, Walter went In search of Maryam, dreading the necessity of telling her of the new danger which hovered over them. He looked all through the house and the garden, finally catching a glimpse of her
perched on a corner of their ten-foot wall. She was looking over into the Vista of Eternal Spring, which lay on tha other side, but turned as soon as she heard his step. "How did you get up there?" he demanded. . She smiled. "I jumped across from that limb." U "How do you propose to get down?" ; . . , , "You will help me, of course." "But suppose I . decide to leave you up there?" She still smiled. "Hold out your arms," she said. Before he fully grasped her purpose, she had sprung from .the wall, landing neatly in his arms!' He staggered with the surprise of the leap but managed to regain his balance and marched.with her to the house! .' , "I have '.something to tell you," he said , .' .. ' : " .
