A matter to eons del' is that
homesteaders who have children
and who are living all t.he way
to ollmer will have an eye on
Seward and Seward must be (ire
pared to take rare of non resid
ent school chilren of high school
age before three more school
years have passed.
We are not afraid to state here
and now that asking for a school
which will cost the taxpayers as
much as $150,000 is not out of
reason, especially as today unless
you have a college education you
probably will be a good 2-handed
pick and-shovcl man ,all your life.
That is the reason for good
schools they mean a good foun
dation. a good preparation, for
college. Seward ehildern must
have good mental foundations
the foundation is found in the
fully accredited school room.
