r w 4 7 li : iV A O .Y . 92 A comparison, of the community ami township high schools of DeWitt County, indicates that this one is the least equipped to do the work expected of it. This condition should n..t he continued. The others either have suitable buildings or arc erecting them at this time. The best that can he «»! mined is due the present and future hoys and girls of district number one hundred fourteen. Fifty sections of the most productive land in the State, with an assessed valuation in I '-0 of $1,814,900.00, sh uld guarantee it to them. In the life history of many insects there are four distinct stages of development before the adult ty])e appears. During the earlier stages there are rather long resting periods, allowing time for the molting process to produce the next higher form. Can it he true that the plans for a high school building must pass through similar, successive, molting stages and suffer long resting periods. 1 trust the answer is an emphatic NO. I know the above suggested topic is a rather unpalatable one to discuss, even with some «',f the most loyal supporters of fhe high school, in these complaining days of excessive taxes, but I believe action should he taken on the proposition at the earliest practical date. I shall consider it pleasing news to learn in 1 23 that a Nixon Township High School building has been erected and liberal courses provided up to which may come all the children of all the people, of this community, to have their hearts and minds touched into greater light and power.

Mrs. Adkins suffices as the day after the night.
