This is a sad state of affairs. The

as hard for the last eight years to
build a school system that would ed

the state. They have sacrificed much
more than they were financially able
to sacrifice for the benefit of their

buildings and longer terms—all the
taxes that the law will allow. They
have donated frequently and liberally.
They have done their best. There is
not a county in the state that has as
a whole a better school spirit than
Taylor county. The school officials
and teachers have had almost one

have made some progress and the
