We want to say "amen" to what our
brother or sister, who writes for the
Molalla country, said about dividing
school districts. It is utter folly to na
tablish two pr more schools where conr
mon sense shows that there ought to be
only one. If the X rays were thrown
upon all minds favoring further subdi
vision of our already impoverished
school districts, some very selfish and
sordid motives would be revealed. 1'eo
pie have been known to work like
trojans for division in order to spite
somebody, to increase the value of some
real estate ur in order to secure some
petty otlice.
