Our School Impi’ovement Associa
tion held a meeting last Saturday
night. Among the subjects discussed
was the financing of the school, im
provement of the grounds and etc. We
now have a six months’ term of grad
ed school here, with two teachers. We
are prepared to conduct a three year
course of high school work. There
are now five taking the first year
of this work. Another meeting is
called for Saturday night, May 16th,
at which time we hope to have every
patron and well-wisher of the school
present. The people here seem to be
determined to keep up this high school
work, which is certainly commendable.
The advantages of such a school here
at home are numerous. We might
mention the following, that about 90
per cent are not able to send their
children away from home. Then we
Have them here under our control and
lots of such schools put in a great
deal of time at such games as football,
baseball, basketball and such like;
when if the school was here at home
we could control such things, but away
from home we have no voice in the
management of the school. And too,
every time we send a dollar away
from home it help'- to build up the
school somewhere else, and helps just
that much to weaken the one here at
home. Let us think on these things
and have a school here at home. We
can—why not? I may have more tc
say along this line later.

I As a number of the correspondents ,
i have expresed themselves as being in ,
favor of the proposed meeting of the ,
writers, we will say that we are will- j
ing to meet on the date set or at any '
time. As one writer stated it would
be a hard task to set a date which '
would be convenient for all and we .
! would suggest that we call the J
meeting for Saturday, June 6th. No [
doubt there are a few who are not j
interested in this movement, but we
think it will be an easy matter to a
rouse enough enthusiasm in our lirst
meeting to get them interested and
meet us later. Newport, we think,
I is the proper place to meet. It isn’t
long until this time and we ask each
writer to say whether they can at
tend or not,
