It Isn't hard to fortell how tho local pcoplo will feol about this quostlon. Wo supply moro of tho -taxable prop, erty for tho running of schools than any other city in the district and havo not forgot what consolidation took away from us. Now comos a plan to take tho upper classmen of our hlch school to a control school. Thero Isn't u doubt but that Amorlcan Fork feels thnt sho is proporly located for tho building. While there is no question but that ovory citizen of Lohl, and for that mnttur, tho peoplo east of Amorlcan Fork In tho district, will do ovorythlng in their power to pro-vont pro-vont such a movo, it Is well thnt we nwnko to tho movo and keep in touch with anything tltat might como up. A voto within tho dltsrlct would turn tho plan down quickly, but, stato legislation legis-lation might accomplish such a con-dlion, con-dlion, as was tho caso with consolidation. consoli-dation. If any such change is to bo mado In tho school district It would bo far hotter to dlvldo tho district into two sections and establish Senior schools In two places. Tho district ls now conceded to bo too largo, which, with tho development of tho western part of tho county, fast being done, and tho moro thickly populating of provo bench, will present now troubles In a fow years. Wo should look to tho fu-turo fu-turo needs of tho district and should mako preparations to tako caro of them. With such a condition at hand wo should think tho propor thing to do Is to build with tho Idea of having two districts In a fow years. n |
