Princeton, July 25—On August 25th the qualified voters in the Carter’s, Progress and Princeton school districts will vote to determine whether they will combine and become one and the same school district in order to equalize the educational advantages [of children in these] districts. If this election is in favor combining the three districts, every child in the territory included will have the same opportunity to get an education from the first grade thru the 11th grade free of cost for tuition or transportation.
From the front page of The Smithfield Herald, Tuesday, July 28, 1925. Parents who lived in a district without a high school wouldn't have to pay fees to another district if they wanted to send their children to high school.
