(writers drw o and do Jtu i as THE SCHOOL TROUBLE ON GREENVILLE LINE Article** Appearing in Greenville News Concerning Effort to Incorpor? ate Fart of Danklin Township Into Sullivan School District. The following two articles appeared in the Greenville News last week. The first one appeared Tuesday and the second one Saturday. As they are of considerable interest to a number of people In this county, the Advertiser reproduces them in full. In Tuesday's Issue: Certain residents of the lower sec tion of Greenville county, in Colum bia school district, einbrachte tbe lower point of Dunklin Township to bo more exact, are comddorably wrought up just now because of the efforts of certain Laurcns county par-; ties to Induce the Greenbille County > Hoard of Education to warrant the in-! corporation of a strip of Danklin Township into a Laurens county school district. The Hoard of Trustees of Sullivan school district, Laurens county, are desirous of establishing a high school I Jit Princeton. Some live residents of Columbia school district wish to throw a section of the district into Laurens I district, and thus secure the benefits of the high school it is proposed to! establish at Princeton. The Sullivan | school district has not unite enough i square mileage to secure the high school at Princeton, so the trustees Of the Lalrens county district are quite anxious for the annexation of the strip of Danklin Township. With the end in view of making the Change, the Hoard of Trustees of Sul livan school (listriit. with the consent of County Superintendent of Educa tion James It. Davis, have had a sur vey, of Columbia school district made. The plat of the district shows that it contains twelve and one-eighth square mile... The law requires a school district to have an area of at least nine square miles. Since the area of Columbia school district is 12 2-8 square miles, the Board of Trustees of the Laurens county district wish to annex :! I-S square miles of the Danklin Township district, leaving the required amount for Columbia district. The plal made by the surveyor was placed in the hands of County Super intendent Davis yesterday morning. On Wednesday the Greenville County Hoard of Education will meet in this city and consider the reouest of the I.aureus county school officials. Several residents of Dunklin town ship, patrons of the schools in the Columbia district, came to Greenville yosterduj to consult Superintendent Davis in regard to the petition of the Laurens county school district otli cials. Thoso who came to see Sup erintendent Davis yesterday are bit terly opposed to the annexation of any portion of Dunklin Township by tin' Laurens county school district, and their objections are not without foundal Ion. There .ire i ,vo si hools in Columbia school district, Columbia school and: Flui Koch school. The former is sit uated nonr the county line, while the biter js at the upper houndry of '.he; district. In case the trip of Danklin township were Incorporated in the Laurens county district, Columbia school house would sit within a few' yhrds of the line. This would, it is .? Ii. put this school out of commis sion end would necossltato the pur-; chasing of a lot and the removal of the school to some poinl near Hie; center of the re-formed district. While the residents or Columbia school dlstrici are heartily in favor of high schools, and would delight in < :,:.? a high school established lit j Princeton, just across the Greonvllle-' Lnurens county line, tiny do not feel that Columbia district should be les sened in area and the expeuso of re moving Columbia school house thrust upon the residents of thai district. From all indications, the petition of the Hoard of Trustees of the LUUI'OIJS I county school district will be turned down, it is understood that County Superintendent of Education James P. Davis is opposed to the strip being cut off Columbia school district. As is generally known, certain por tions of Grotnvillo COUIll.V are now In corporated in school districts of oth er counties. Sucll is tin case at Greer, Piedmont and Fountain Inn. When- portions of two counties, arc incorporated in one BChool district the Hoards of Education of the two counties have joint control of the1 dist riet. The question confronting the Greenville County Hoard of Education is rather a porpleXlng one. There are really two sides to the question and good sides at that. Residents of Sul livan school disl ret. Laurens county. ? desire a high school at Princeton, hut haven't sufficient area in tin- Laurens county district to warrant it Hy an nexing :! I-S square miles of Danklin Township they can get the necessary area. Certain residents of lower Dunklin Township desire tbe advan tages of a high school, and h;:;.- ;"> op portunity of getting one at Princeton,' by incorporating a portion o? Dunklin township into the Laurens county dis trict. Residents of the upper section of the Dunklin township school district do not wish the change to be made he cause It will necessitate the removal of one of the two schools in the Co lumbia district, and will call for the expenditure of a considerable sum of money in purchasing a new slto and erecting a new school house. The outcome of the situation Will b<' watched with a great deal of In terest in thai section of the county and In the section of Laurens coun t> concerned. In Saturday's Issue: At a meeting of the Hoard of Edu cation of Greenville county held yes terday morning In the office of Conn tv Superintendent of Education .las B. Davis the petition or the Hoard of Trusteos of Sullivan school dis trict, Laurens county, for a section of Columbia school district. Creon villa county, to be annered to the for mer district, In onler that sulllclcnt area might be obtained for the es tablishnieiit of a high school at Prince ton, was turned down. Several days ago it was stated In , The News that Citizens of this par ticular school district, which is in the lower sectio.i of Lhuiklin Town Bhip, were considerably wrought-up because of iiie efforts oi tu?' Laurens county Superintendent of Education j and the trustees of Sullivan school district to induce .he Greenville coun ' ty Hoard of Education to annex three j and one-eighth Miliare miles of terri ' lory in Columbia district to the form er district. At that time it was thought that the matter under discus sion was of incrt-st to only those res idents of Dunklln Township affected, as well as those in Sullivan school lis trift in LaurenS county. It has since come to light, however that even resi dents of the city were interested In this matter. On the morning of the publication of the news story about the school districts matter a resident of the city who owns considerable property in Dunklin Township read the story in The Newa and at once hied himself to the office of the Coun ty Superintendent ol Education, where tlie entered the nuts; strenuous objec tion to the Columbia school district being altered. The public in general lias manifested much interest in the situation, and will read with interest the outcome of the affair. The three members of the County Hoard of Education. Messrs. H. B. Dom I nick of Fountain Inn, L. E. (Mul ders of Mnuldin and superintendent of Education .1 tunes B. Davis of Green ville, did not take long to decide the question of allowing the Laurens county school district to appropriate a portion of the Dunklin Township school district. After it short discus sion of the matter the board voted to decline the petition, and Superin tendent of Education Davisvls immed iately wrote to the Superintendent of Education of Luurens county. Mr. Qeorge L. Pitts, and notified him of the action taken by the Greenville Hoard. Columbia school district. In Dunk lin Township, measures 12 1-S miles in area. Tin1 law requires a school district to measure pt least square miles in area. The Board of Trus tees of Sullivan s< liool district, just across the county line, wished to es tablish a high school at Princeton, und not having Blllllclent area in that particular district to warrant the es tablishment of a'hlgh school, con ceived the idea of i>< titloning the Greenville county Hoard ol Education to annex :i i-s sqnun miles <>t Colum bia school district to the Laurens dis trict, this leaving tin required U miles in the Dunklin Township residents of Columba district lolned the petl ton. The petition was turned down yes Lerdny by the County Dni.nl of Edu cation for several reasons, one of the most plausible being HS was stated by a member of (he board, the simple reason that Greenvlllt county could not afford to sacrHirt hei own sshool interests in that section of the county lo the upbuilding of ; school in Lau rens county."
