KAWANIANS HEAR COMMIT
TEE’S REPORT AND DEFER
ACTION TWO WEEKS.
H. A. Wilkinson, chairman of a
committee appointed by the Dawson
Kiwanis club at the last meeting to
investigate the advisability of combin
ing the city and county schools, in a
report to the club Thursday night
urged immediate steps to effect the
consolidation. There was a general
discussion in which many of the mem
bers expressed themselves in favor of
the plan. There was some opposi
tion. The committee was continued
until the next meeting in order to learn
and report the sentiment of the peo
ple of the county in regard to the pro
posed merger of the systems.
Mr. Wilkinson produced figures ob
tained from the county superintend
ent of schools that placed the number
of high school pupils in the county at
175. which makes the total in the
county and city 320. This number,
he declared, was not sufficient to main
tain more than one high school. From|
1914 to 1922, inclusive, an average of |
$4.07 was expended on each pupil per!
month in the county schools, which is
$36.63 a year.
Outside of Dawson there are ten‘
schools doing high school work—
that is. eight to tenth grades inclusive.
Teachers in the county schools that
have high school work serve also as
principals of the schools, The other
teachers give half of their time to‘
high school and grammar school \\-ork.|
Also, it was said, there are principulc‘
who begin with the fifth grade and|
teach up through the tenth grade. |
Various plans were proposed. .-'\mcmg‘
these was that each school now in the
county doing high school work main
tain a junior high school and that a
cenior « high school be established in
Dawson, the county schools confining
themselves to primary and grammar
school work.
Judge M. C. Edwards declared that
the consolidation could he effected!
easily. He said the mayor and the
countv school comissioner could |
enter into a contract and then an
election could be called to vote bonds
for the consolidated school. Both
the city and the county would have to
vote the bonds or else there would be
no legal ground upon which to pro
ceed.
J. C. Dukes, county school superin
tendent, stated that there would be
made in the county schools a survey
some time in March, and he thought
it probable that one of the state offi
cials could be secured to come here at
that time and address them upon the
proposed consolidation.
Among the visitors present were
Charles Johnson, of Sasser, and Dr.
R. E. Bowman, of Bronwood. My C
H. Brauscombe, supervising architect
jor the new federal building, was in
troduced to the assembly and a num
ber of other visitors were present.
None of the other committees re_
ported, and most of the time spent in
discussion was devoted to the school
proposal.

Turning The Calendar Back to

“Her waist begins just below her

off even with the rest of her body.
She is usually buttoned up the back,

blonde hay stack of hair and on top
of this a central dome with rings
about the same size of those of
Saturn. She is swathed in her
gown like an Indian papoose, and
on the end of her feet are' dabs of

her skin are full of fine white pow

siderable damage was done, however,
tc the oat crop and to the early veg
etables. At 9 o’clock on Saturday
morning the thermometer registered
only sixteen degrees above zero, which
is just sixteen degrees freezing tem
perature. It was the coldest weath
er this section has experienced since
the severe and long to be remembered
blizzard of 1899, the thermometer at
that time falling to within eight de
grees above zero.”
The extreme cold weather was not
without it's advantages, however. It

went out and picked up an ear, and
figuring by counting the kernels on it
he could estimate pretty well the size
of the prize ear owned by the lowan.
Much to his surprise he found that
the ear of corn he had selected held
