Meeting of School Association
Pursuant to call as published in
circular mailed to the people of the
School District, a meeting of the
Lancaster School Association was
held at Green’s Theatre. Thursday
evening. Sept. 28, 1922.
Mr. Cooper, President, gave the
of Education to devise ways and
means of settling the question of
the location of the new school build-
ing and secondly should the Board
of Education refuse to confer with
this committee or to make conces-
sion in accordance with the sense
of this meeting that this committee
be instructed to seek the proper re
- i lief in the courts.”
following statement as the purpose j^0 otber question was considered,
of the meeting. or voted upon at the meeting, and
In order that there may be no nQ VQte wag taken ejtber favoring
possibility of a misunderstanding of nmWMJ:nd anv nartir„]ar site for
possibility ot a misunderstanding or. or in|, any particular site for
the motives that have prompted me the new high gchool building.
Pursuant to above motion Mr.
Cooper appointed the following Co-
Operative Committee:
!
to call a public meeting of this As-
i soeiation at this time and in order
that there may be no possibility of
being misquoted in stating the pur-
poses of this meeting I am reducing
my statements to writing and filing
a copy of same with the Secretary
of the Association.
“This meeting Lias been called for
the purpose of bringing about a
state of harmonious action on the
part of the people of this School
District in solving the problems
that now confront them and I trust
Ray Holder, Chairman,
J. H. Darby,
D. P. Mauldin,
H. R. Howell,
T C. McCurdy,
J. A. Mills,
T. C. Little.
At meetings of the board and
committee the request of the com-
mittee was that an election be call-
building should be located on the
present site selected by the board
or that another site of some five or
six acres be secured. The matter
is still under advisement.
Wilmer Parent-Teachers’
Reception.
[be for The Herald--$1.50 yr.
ed to let the tax payers express
that the meeting may formulate themselves as to whether the new
such a broad platform for the pro-
motion of absolute harmony that
no avenue for agitation and dis-
agreement may be left open but
that on the contrary the citizenship
of our District may act as a unit
with the School Board in carrying
out the will of the majority of the
people of this District, whatever
that will may be.
I do not come to you as the rep-
resentative of ,anv particular theory
or contention on the part of any
citizen or as the champion either
for or against any particular site for
the location of the new high school
building. Any location that is sat-
isfactory to the majority of the peo-
ple of this school district is abso-
lutely satisfactory to me and when
the people of the district are given
an opportunity to express their
choice of a site, I am in favor of
letting the voice of the majority be
absolutely final and conclusive and
when this is done I, for one, am in
favor of the Board being left abso-
lutely alone to erect and equip the
new building on such a site, when
selected. I know of no higher plan
on which to pitch any public ques-
tion on which there is a division of
public opinion.
“The matter of selecting a build-
site for a high school building is one
that comes once during the lifetime
of a generation in the district. It
concerns not only the present gene-
ration but future generations. It is
one concerning which if a mistake
is made it can never be remedied.
I believe, therefore, that when a
substantial difference of opinion is
found to exist on such an import-
ant question that such differences
should be desolved by the voice of
the majority of the people and that
every citizen of the district should
enthuastically support the decision
of such majority. I am not here to
question the motive or the opinion
of any citizen of this district in any
opinion he may have. I concede
sincerity to the School Board in its
actions and to every citizen in his
opinion. I only appeal to the School
Board and to the citizens of the
school district to get an expression
of tfie will of the majority o( the
people of the district as to the site
for the new building and that the
School Board and the people of the
district absolutely bow to the will
of that majority and that our cit i-
zenship absolutely support in com-
plete harmony the public will.
‘This is the only way I know to
secure absolute harmony, when
there is a substantial difference of
opinion in a public question in a
democratic community and with
this statement of the case I turn
the meeting over to you for such
course of procedure as may to you
seem proper.”
The following motion was made
and duly seconded, and was carried
by a vote of the meeting, the vote
being 85 for the motion and one
against:
“RESOLVED that a committee
of seven (7) members of the Lan-
caster School Association be ap-
pointed by the Chairman of this
meeting, such committee to be
known as the Co-Operative Com-
mittee, and that this committee be
instructed to confer with the Board
