The Advantages of
A Larger Local
High School
This is the fifth of a series of
essays written bv Ninth Graders
at East Donegal High School.
By Betsy Musser
The basic purpose of the school
is to provide an education for the
pupil. This education could be more
adequately achieved through the
advantages of a larger school for
several reasons.
First, there would be more
courses in a larger school. For
those ‘who are not planning to go
to college, a course in manual’ arts
could be given. This would elim-
inate one of the reasons why stud-
ents drop out of school, that they
cannot do the academic work. Also
we could have more elective cours-
es. For example. the student who is
taking the academic course could
have a choice of languages instead

300 Imigrants
Will Move Into
Camp At Salunga
A migratory labor force of about
300 men and women will start mov-
ing into a camp mear Salunga about
August 1 to aid in the harvest of
Lancaster County crops.
Edward G. Kirkland, co-owner of
the Kirkland Brothers Labor Camp,
said that a small force of about 12
persons is preparing the camp for
the larger group's arrival next
month.
He said most of the laborers were
working their way in this direction
from Winter headquarters of the
firm at Plant City, Florida by aid-
ing in gathering early potatoes in
North Carolina, Virginia, and
Maryland.
Here the laborers will aid in the
gathering of potatoes, beans, toma-
toes, and tobacco. They will live in
their own village — Kirklandville
and will move onto farms contract-
ing for their services in large
trucks.
In addition to barracks and tents.
the village will have its own store
for the laborers. The firm also is
building a grading shed on the vil-
lage or camp site for grading pota-
toes at a central location.
There was a similar labor force
at the same Igcation last year.
