Cordell Hull, secretary of state,
looms as the strongest Democratic
candidate at this time, Heare said,
adding that reciprocal trade pacts
have, however, made Hull extremely
unpopular in many doubtful states.
Among Republican candidates for
the nomination, Heare sees Senator
Arthur Vandenberg as the most like-

has made a better showing in recent
state polls but said Dewey is not
as acceptable to party leaders as
Vandenberg whom they give a bet-

by man for crime is horrible, how

The latter part of the second
chapter of St. Luke was chosen as
the basis of Rev. Johnson’s Tues-
day night discourse. The story told
in the Scriptures is that of the boy
Jesus in the temple, talking to the
doctors, while his parents went
three days upon their journey home
before they missed him. From this
narrative the evangelist drew the
analogy that It Is possible for Chris-
tians in the modem world to lose
Jesus, historically, intellectually,
Physically, emotionally and volition-
ally.

and to relieve congestion and re-
duce expenses, both of whioh are
possible, the board has adopted a
new policy.
“At the south ward school there
are less than 100 pupils and a facul-
ty of five teachers. In each class
there is one section and you can
use a little figuring and see that
these classes are necessarily small
and the teacher is not given a pupil
load commensurate with her ability
to teach. At the north ward the
average enrollment per room Us ap-
proximately 35 pupils and in some
nomy. At present, many patrons should be given to its solution. Our
have children in the junior high
and ward schools and in reality the
adopted plan will in most instances
not increase the inconvenience. It
will tend to keep a united town and
destroy petty Jealousy.
“So, in the opinion of tlje board,
the new plan will relieve congestion
at the high school building, enable
us to make greater strides in co-
operating witii our rural neighbors
and save the school about $3,000.00
per year. On the other hand if this
plan is not adopted we will have to
have more building space and em-
rooms there are two sections. This I PloV more teachers. The taxpayers
places a greater burden upon the
teacher. However we are not used
to worrying about teachers’ labors,
but we do and should worry about
the pupils. Certainly to have 35
children in one room with a high
and low section in each is very un-
fair to the pupils.
“The sixth grade ts now taught
at Junior high, but with its removal
the eighth grade, which is the first
year in high school, will be moved
into the junior high building with
the seventh grade and the problem
of congestion will then be over.
There is one other advantage. By
combining all of certain grades in
certain buildings possibly three
teachers can be saved, certainly a
minimum of two. This does not
mean that any teacher will lose her
position on account of the change
but resignations usually received will
not have to be filled. This will create
a saving of about $3,000.00 which is
certainly needed, especially when
our enumeration shows that we will
receive approximately $900.00 less
from the state next year than we
received this year.
“We have ample room for all
chidren If it is properly allocated
and the board feels that it is its
duty to make the best of our re-
sources with the least possible ex-
pense. After all. Shamrock is not
a large town and it is not very far
from one building to another. Ama-
rillo, with a population of more than
will not. and in the opinion of the
board, should not stand for this,
when we can by a little inconven-
ience utilize all space which is en-
tirely adequate if properly allocated
and materially reduce cost of school
maintenance. This matter has been
studied long by the board, every de-
tail has been studied, and every en-
ergy of which the board is capable
has been given to this solution. If
any patron has a better plan please
tell the board about it.
“So beginning in September all
students who will be in the fifth or
sixth grades, either high or low
grade, will report to the south ward.
All other grades, except the 7th, will
report at the north ward. The 7th
grade and all high school grades
will report to junior high and high
school buildings.
“Some argue that a solution lies
in redistricting the town. This will
not work. The board has never been
able to enforce the district lines as
they now exist. In the second place
such even if enforced would not
save one cent of expense.
“The board wants you to know
that they have at all times prac-
ticed economy even to the extent of
passing out chalk by the piece In-
stead of the box, but such practice
must still continue and new thought
must be given toward making still
greater efforts at economy. The en-
tire country is in debt, and we know
that there must be a stop sometime
present social condition is critical
the world over and a conservative
attitude not only toward economy
but toward every social function
should be practiced.
“This entails sacrifice but in reali-
ty it is so small that the board feels
it should not be noticed. Many
children in the war torn worl%
would like a chance to go to school.
Many would like to know that no
bomb would strike the schoolhouse,
killing such pupils as might be there!
College students in Poland, who dar-
,ed to believe that God still lives,
were lined up and assassinated. So
after all we should cherish our in-
stitutions and all give the fullest
cooperation toward their continu-
ance.”
