The Public School Question.
The men who have devoted themselves to the work of securing to Dallas a system of public schools, care nothing for the fossilized vaporings of men fifty years behind the times. They have the best interests of the people at heart in desiring greater educational advantages for the children of Dallas and will not insult the intelligence and public spirit of this community, by supposing for one moment that when it comes to a vote, that the people who pay the taxes will not be overwhelmingly in favor of public schools.
