PROGRAM OR BAPTIST
WORKERS* MEETING
.
To the Voters of
Fairfield School Dist.
r-
This is an appeal to your sense of fairness man to
man. The county school board has lately ordered an
election to determine whether or not the Streetman,
Burnett Chapel and St. Elmo School Districts shall be
annexed to that of Fairfield. This action is wholly the
work of the county board. None of the first three
named districts had anything to do with having the
election ordered; the local trustees were not asked
whether they liked it or not; the citizens did not know
that anything of the kind was being done till the elec-
tion notices were posted. According to the law gov-
erning the procedure the total vote of the proposed
new district will determine the result of the election;
that is if Streetman and Burnett Chapel and St. Elmo
vote solidly against it, and Fairfield votes solidly for
it, and with its greater strength out votes Streetman
and Burnett Chapel and St. Elmo, the proposition
carries.
Now, the citizens of these three districts are bit-
terly opposed to any such consolidation; and that is the
reason why this piece is being written, to let the peo-
ple of Fairfield and vicinity know how the matter
stands, and let them have their eyes open when they
go out on the 21st of September to vote.
The mere fact that the citizens of these districts,
as free, upstanding Americans, do not want the thing
crammed down tjpeir throats ought to be reason ’
enough why it should not be done; but we can give
tangible reasons, material and sentimental. Speaking
especially for St. Elmo, it would work a hardship on
the children here for them to have to go to Fairfield to
school. The distance some of them would have to go
would be fully thirty-four miles, and twenty miles of
that over some of the worst roads in Freestone Coun-
ty. But those favoring the scheme will argue that the
higher grades are already being sent out, and are al-
ready traveling those bad roads, and what difference
would it make if the lower grades went too? Here is
the difference: the little children are hardly as strong
as the larger ones, hardly as well able to r' nd the
hardships of early rising and long rides on the bus.
Also as the arrangement now stands, the home school
operates two buses, and they call at each child’s home
and get him, and he is not exposed much to the weath-
er. But if Fairfield takes the management, the prob-
ability is that they will use only one bus, and it will
keep to the main public road, and children living off on
the byways would have to walk two miles, some of
them, and that at daybreak and often through the mud.
No, the scheme will not work, it will not half way
work; the high' :• grade children have had to go off to
distant schoo's now for several years and it has not
proved satisfactory with them, and it would prove
much less so with the small ones.
As for sentiment, that is often laughed at by the
'coarse minded, but it is one of the finest attributes of
human nature, and when properly employed one of the
most powerful. St. Elmo is an old school, just how old
nobody knows. Many men and women, and their chil-
dren, and their children’s children got what book learn-
ing they have here. At no distant past, it was one of
the best rural schools in the county. It was forward
looking and active. It was the first school in the coun-
ty to accomplish consolidation; it was the first one to
put on a transportation system; it was the first to
have a school Wrml of more than eight months. In time
past many a girl, and sometimes a boy, have gone out
from its wall to make teachers. It stood well in liter-
ary attafhrtient, and ranked high in athletics. And
there is not one of those Who went to school here in the
long ago but 'w^o will feel sad to see its name blotted
out.
That is the case; by no stretch of imagination can
a fair minded person see how in this instance the chil-
dren would be benefited by breaking up the home
school and sending them off thirty miles. The citizens
here are almost solid against it, and we hope the voters
of Fairfield on election day will turn out and help mash
this raw deal in the earth.
