Our High Schools
The high schools of the county have had a phenomenal growth during the past few years. There are now enrolled in the various high schools of the county between seven and eight hundred pupils. Several of the high schools have their capacity taxed to the limit and something must be done in the near future if these schools are to maintain their rapid increase in numbers. The most noted of these are Edenburg and St. Petersburg. Both schools are crowded to their limit and the end is not yet. We are in hopes that the people of these two towns will soon recognize the great opportunity they have to place within the reach of their children and the children of the surrounding country high school advantages unsurpassed anywhere in the county. We hope the people of both these towns will make it possible for these excellent high schools to continue to grow by giving them better physical advantages.
