tion saying that this would be giving away home of their taxable property Spying that this district should do so that District No 1 may have better school accommodations Patrons of District No 2 stating that patrons in north end District No 1 may have bet ter school accommodations by building another school house in the north end of Histrict No 1 and further they be lieve that the petition would meet with more hearty endorsement if it provided that District No 1 did not get tho land unless they build the second school house in District No 1 Now they ex pect to give us section of unimproved land and we build a school house but in case a second school house should never be built in north end of District No 1 District No 2 should be allowed to keep the land Now if District No 2 is in sympathy with these people in the north end of District Nol which our district joins why dont they build a second school house in their own district and take these families they speak of in Dis trict No 2 has a high school and could give their pupils a complete education which is not the case in District No 1 for we have only a common school teaching as high as the eighth grade District No 1 will give them all these families in the north end of District No 1 and 2 and J section of good improved land of our territory We do not pro pose to build a second school house in District No 1 and cripple our school having nothing better than an eighth grade school hire an eighth grade teacher or build a second school house Wo have been taxed to build one school house and having the smallest district in the county we do not pro pose being taxed but for one house There is no law for that I will speak as a tax payer For my part I am willing to be taxed to organ ize a rural high school district at Red Willow District No 1 We tried five years ago to do this District No 1 North Star and No 72 tho three coun try districts had 1200000 more valu ation than District No 2 Indianola We could have had a good school The state superintendent and county super intendent were highly in favor of it but our city high school district did not ap prove of it They think an eighth grade school is good enough for the farmer If we want any better they expect us to pay tuition hire rooms and pay board or move to town to finish the education of our children So tbe ma jority of them graduate in the eighth grade school and generally have a 16-year-old school inarm to complete their education I think the farmer is entitle to tho very best for ho feeds the world and ought to be entitled to eat at the first table I believe in improving and getting out of the ruts You will probably discover by this writing that I am not a polished scholar and wish for the younger people to be able to do better Our desire is for better schools in tho rural districts Yesyou bet the second school house will never be built if there is any law to pre vent it Such is our verdict John F Helm R F D No 1 C A
