Barton Rural School Burns
The North Star school in Nashville township, Barton County, was destroyed by fire last Friday
afternoon. Don Glaze, a lineman for the REA, who was passing on his way to Nashville, saw
the blaze and notified the teacher, Miss Julia Woods. The desks and other contents of the
building were removed from the burning structure. Eighteen students are enrolled in the school.
The fire is believed to have started from a defective flue. The building was insured.
