dushl e r write witte often to the news so we will more we note that he or maybe she likes our sermons on consolidation the correspondent also states that we wa are having our own way vaY thus far that is no opposition to our views we may not in print but actually there is any amount of opposition to our views not expressed but living opposition had not th the fathers and chief instigators sti gators of this movement chief among whom Js is the news been opp opposed Os ea to our views this one sided aff affair air would not have become a reality we also note that your correspondent says he has hag not expressed his views but rather preferred to study results well we too have been studying rei results tilts it was only a matter ter of a very few meetings after the doard Board 1 got well organized every wheel oiled and running to suit the inventor that the real purpose of this consolidation commenced to come to the surface in the first place the board said we muff mus curtail exper seg tsi to so matter scatter it if the schools lire are not asllan wan 1 e education of the r I 1 Is s lower boive r than before expenses must be cut of course a g great reat deal could not be done along these lines last season simply because contracts had been mado that the new board could not abrogate but it was not long before the absolutism wo think we nye can say bossism of th board was shown in park valley done we had as many as three different jirina aples s last school year wedo we do not think the people a at t harper will fe fei feel I the tac whip hand ol of the boards abard s power as will we farther west we ha have re it from th thu very lips of one oneff of the board that the majority or of the board are entirely indifferent as as to the kind of schools we have ind and that it was difficult to interest them in our schools it is useless to deny this charge we know I 1 it t to be is as true trite as gospel witness ties s the following fol lowins at Juric junction tion biars years ago there was not a school house tha people there thera built one which later was purchased by the local board and the builders were reimbursed re this building then is county property there were but few scholars enough however to keep up a school when the schools of the county were consolidated this district with all tile the rest was absorbed well the distance is quite great from the residences of the people to the school house so the district was wont to pay some one man to haul the children to and from school when the new board got to work one of the number entered into the same agreement with the same man informed he mil mh did by one of the old board when the man sent in his hig claim the board dishonored one of their number abrogated his agreement and blandly 13 refused to pay the bill well the man looking at things wrong end and to would not send his children ebil tren to school although me ine of them are of lawful school tige age dy by action the numbers were so reduced that the board closed the riol dismissed tho the teacher and locked locke rup up shop khop we maintain had the leoard lo jo ard oard beon been anxious to keep keel this school going had the board a desire to serve ill all no matter where they the lived in this great county of box rider they would have read the truant law to this man and compelled hini him to send his children to school dut but they do it we do not think they care either tt it is our candid opinion ano that th the main object Is isto to build a nic eHigh school in brigham even if they have ibave to scalp all of these western schools to do it as they did the one at junction these fathers of consolidation are wise jf if they hurt burt the western school and have ft a M 0 in B brigham I 1 the h e people ebo
