Don't forget, however, to bring a well tilled basket, so that we may b prepared to act as hosts or host esses to any who may be stranger with in our gates. There will be a short pro gram beginning at 10:30, during which At the annual meeting of the voters of school district Mo. 2 (St. Helens) to be held at the school house on Monday, June 15, at 8 p. m., in addition to the election of school officers the question of consolidation with district No. 29 (ifoulton) will come up for consideration and settlement. As it is a very impor tant matter for both districts the people should study it from all points of view and make up their minds only after a very careful consideration of the ad vantages and disadvantages of such action. District No. 2 hat a good scnool house, adequate for the probable wants ot the community for several years. It will ba of no use for other than school purposes, and it would not be large enough, even were it practicable to move it, to meet the demands of the proposed consolidated district in the near future. There is but oua use to which il could be put and that is for a county high school, provided the voters are of the opinion that such an institu tion is necessary and adusable. No doubt that thought will be in the minds of many when they vote on the question of consolidation. The advantages of consolidation are apparent in some re spects. All the tendency of school thought is toward larger districts. It wouldn't lighten taxation, but it would give to the taxpayers more for their money. The consolidated district would doubtless put np a handsome building between St. Helens aud Houlton and this would have a tendency lo unite the two towns and build up the intervening country. On the other hand pupils would have a greater distance to travel and there might arise complications as to the mat ner in which the debt of dis of District No. 2 should be settled. It is not altogether clear as to what Is the beat course to pursue, and the object of this article is merely to arouse interest in the matter so that all the facts msy be brought out and well considered be fore the vote is taken. It is better to have a thorough discussion now., so that all may have their lay, aud the verdict of the meeting be arrived at with as addreaeea will bo delivered by Siiperiii- lendetit I. H.
