A MOVE FOR
UNION SCHOOLS.
SMART AND WIGHTMAN DISTRICTS TO HOLD MEETING THE 25th TO VOTE.
Meets With Approval of District
Supt. Abel—Government Do-
nates 40 Acres With Water
Right for 10 Acres.
The school board of Smart and Wightman districts, on the strength of petitions signed by he heads of families of both districts, asked the government to grant 40 acres of land in the southeast corner of section 18, for school purposes, giving assurance that a union district would be formed and buildings erected on the tract. It will be remembered that the interior department, acting upon the advice of Projec Engineer Cole, very readily granted the request.
Now it appears that in order to take advantage of the donation by the government, the trustees of the two districts have called a meeting I of the heads of families of Smart district No. 10 and Wightman No. 3, for Saturday evening, July 25th, at 7:30, to discuss the various phases of the subject and to take a vote upon it, in accordance with the requirements of the law.
The officers are anxious to have a full representation of the people of the respective districts, as the action at this time will be final. If a majority are in favor, then the union board, which has already duly qualified under the law, will proceed to let contracts for the moving of the buildings.
Prof. J. F. Able, district superintendent, in a formal letter to the two boards, under date of July 9, urges the people of Smart and Wightman districts to form a union school and move the buildings to a convenient point.
This paper has been a strong advocate of union, or consolidated schools, wherever the conditions justify, because we have seen the successful Working out of the plan in older states in the east, and realize that it is more economical in the long run and far more efficient, in that it tends to give the children in the country districts the benefits of a graded school, the same as provided in the larger towns.
