As announced elsewhere in the
News Item the Summer School
will this year be held at Dtisliore.
For the past six years the annual
session has lieen held tit Laporte
and as we know it to lie an advan
tage to the place where it is held
socially, intellectually and finan
cially we must congratulate Dti
sliore upon having secured the
school. Of course we regret to see
the school leave Laporte and with
out doubt had the school authori
ties show n a more friendly attitude
it would still have lieen continued
here. For several years the teach
ers were obliged to pay rent for the
few text books used and last year
the Board refused them the use of
the lMioks entirely, even for a lib
eral rental. The Forksville school
board, however, generously loaned
them their books, free of charge,
while the books here were placed
under lock and key. The teachers
in attendance were justly indignant
at such treatment and expressed
their feelings in a resolution at the
close of the school.
In striking contrast with this
policy the Dtisliore Board of Direc
tors at its first meeting after organ
ization this year extended a warm
invitation to County Supt. Black
and the teachers were offered the
free use of the building, books and
apparatus. Of course they were
accepted. Why not ? We sincere
ly hope, however, that next year
our Board will extend the hospital
ity and courtesy of the town to the
school and that we may be priv
ileged to again welcome the teach
ers in our town. As this is only
one of the many indignities thrust
upon the taxpayers here by 11011-
freeholding officials, we will pass
this small matter by without furth
er comment.
