There are many channels through which assistance might be
gained for such an undertaking. There are many reasons why
such an undertaking would be plausible, feasible, reasonable,
and worth while. The better channels would be for the body
to interest not only individuals, but the town and the county
also, in such an undertaking. Well that the approach be made
through the legal representative of the TOWN, [Willard R.
Ashburn], and with the backing - and with the information as
may be had concerning such - there should be no reason why
the body [
317] should not be able, even in a greater or
lesser degree, to open in the Fall session, or lay the plans
whereby in the NEXT session to have a full attendance in
same. Well were these conditions, these surroundings, these
possibilities, taken up with [
165] of Chicago - now on the
seas. In and through this channel may there be gained
assistance and aid, as WELL as through these channels the
body [
317] has in mind to approach concerning such.
As to place, location, building, etc., THESE would be BETTER
to be worked out with Ashburn - and this may be made possible
through the efforts of those that would assist in such an
undertaking. Ready for questions.
(Q) Will my age and lack of adequate preparation be a
hindrance?
(A) Rather would it be helpful at the present time, provided
the SINCERITY of purpose and personality is presented first.
(Q) Shall we rent or try to buy and build for the first
year?
(A) As is given, this condition would be best worked out
with the cooperation of the town - and especially the
citizenship and committee as will be appointed to look into
the feasibility and plausibility of the undertaking.
(Q) How much will be needed to get the school started?
(A) All that will be able to obtain! but start with what
you have in hand if you would have an undertaking that would
be worth while! or what will be able to be acquired in
interesting of others, as it will be when such conditions are
approached through the proper channels, as has been outlined.
Taking first into confidence, then, the ones as outlined,
see? Then as soon as plausible and possible have an
interview with [
165], bringing him into association with
those of the local peoples to boost and assist in getting the
proper background, see?
Do that! for it can be made the success!
(Q) Any further advice for this body?
(A) Have the ideal well in hand to present. The formulation
of how to use same will be presented by the ones that are
interested. Work it, then, through the channels as given,
and there will come great things from THIS undertaking. We
are through for the present.
