CENTRALIZATION Last November a committee representing the voters in the town of Edwards, Mr Baker, district superintendent met with members of the State department of Education to draw up tentative plans to centralize the nine school districts in the town of Edwards. The second step in centralization is being taken as this goes to press. Petitions are being circulated for the voters of each distriKt to sign. If a majority of the voters sign, the State Commissioner of Education will be petitioned to call a meeting of all the voters to decide this question under the supervision of a in'em - ber of the State department of Education. If a majority favor the proposition the central district will be formed and a Board of Education representing the whole town will be elected. The advantages of a central school should be obviou to most people. With more state aid, the girls and boys in this town would have a better education than is possible under the present system. A more varied course of study would be possible with the addition of such courses as agriculture, industrial arts, commercial, physical education and art. Other services such as free text books and a cafeteria, school nurse and dental aid will be possible if the voters so decide. The only way to consider this proposition is that it will give the boys and girls of this town a better education. That is progress in the right direction and we hope that the voters in this town will agree.
