WOULD AID DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTRY Building Should Be Located At T&hnage In Order To Be Close In. Friday afternoon a meeting was called at the assembly hall to discuss the proposition of a Union High School. It was expected that Col. Hofer and C. L Starr would be in attendance, but they were unable to get over from Salem in time. The meeting was addressed by President Ressler, J. H. Hawley and others. On motion a committee of ten, con sisting of Hawley, Ground, Haley, Griffa, Heffly, Kurre, Springer, Murdock, Powell and Fogle, was appointed to attend the meeting at Independence at night Pres. Ressler attending as committee man at large. The meeting at Independence was well attended and all present seemed to be favorably impressed with the idea of a Union High School for the districts of Inde pendence and Monmouth with those contiguous thereto. The meeting was presided over by Hon. B. F. Jones and the " speaking was preceeded by vocal and instrumental music Col. Hofer made the longest talk and showed many reasons why there should be a high school in this community, that it would enhance the value of all property in the territory contiguous to the school that it would be a great help to the Normal; also that many boys and girls that want a business education could get it at the high school who do not want to educate themselves for teachers. C. L. Starr, secretary of the Board of Regents, talked awhile showing many joints in favor of joining the districts into one high school district County Superintendent Sey mour said there were nearly two million dollars worth of assessable property in the five districts that would likely be made into the high school district and that the necessary tax would be very light If we join now and form a nigh school distric when there is a county high school voted, we will not have to pay any tax into the county high school fund, but will be able to participate in the distribution from the fact that when a county high school is voted it will be with the under standing that no county building is to be erected but the high school pupils will be placed in the differenthigh schools through out the county. This being the case we would get a fair propor tion of them. On motion of Mr. Hawley a committee of ten from the two districts was appointed to get to gether and promulgate a course of action looking to bringing the matter before the next regular school election. The following have been named as the commit tee. 'For Monmouth; J. H. Haw ley, T. A. Riggs, Dr. Crowley, G. T. Boothby and Ira Powell. For Independence, C. L. Sperling, P. M. Kirkland, W. A. Messner, I W. W. Percival and J. L. Hanna.
