Clamity howlers and others of a similar stripe
who have been so busy the past few months pre
dicting that Ashland was going backward and
having nothing good to say about the place in
which they live, that they have not been able to
notice the good things, must have received a ter
rific jolt with the announced enrollment figures
for the Ashland schools.
These figures contrary to the prediction of
those whose wish was father to the thought, DID
NOT SHOW A DECREASE. In fact if there is
and variation from last years figures they will
show a slight increase.
This would indicate that Ashland today has as
many families as they have ever had, that the
Normal school and other agencies were instru
mental in bringing to Ashland, a sufficient num
ber of families, to bring the population up to
normal. With this fact in view, Ashland should
face the future with a feeling of optimism rather
than despair. The people are here, the soil is here,
the natural advantages still exist. These are all
self evident, yet the most harmful thing that Ash
land as a community has to contend with is this
pessimism that some of its citizens seem to get so
much pleasure out of.
It is impossible to sell something that you do
not believe in yourself, and this applies to com
munities as well as anything else.
With the school enrollment figures as a basis
to go on, there is no reason for Ashland to feel
despondent. In fact just the reverse should be
true..
