GRACE GREENWOOD in one of her very

There is now parliamentary rule that was
called up in the late Credit Moblller deoate'
which says:

larry interested.

Free High Schools.
FRYEBURG, March II, 49,


To the Editor of the Press
Your comments on the free high school bill
in the PRESS of Saturday, will, 1 think, convey
a wrong impression in regard to the aid extend
ed to towns sustaining free high schools by the
State. The State contributes an equal amount,
not to exceed $500.
The language of the bill in section one is as
follows:
"When any town shall have established and
maintained free high school, as provided in
tas act, for at least ten weeks in any one year,
such town, on complying with the conditions
herein set ,rth shall be entitled to receive
from the State one-hdt the amount actually
expended for instruction in said school, not
however, exceeding five hundred dollars from
the State to any one town."
Therefore, if town desires to expend $500
for high school and receive the same from
the State for like purpose, it will raise by
been maintained ten weeks, the State will pay
over to the town one.half the amount ($5OO).
The town will do what it pleases with the
money, pay one half of the thousand dollars it
has loaned, OF put it in her treasury. Conse-
ouently you have this result; The town has
secured thousand dollar high school, by pay
inc $500. and the State the same amount.
Suppose the law had said that tne town
should receive an amount equal to that expend-
ed by the town. The town would have expend-
ed $500; the State reimburses the town to a
like amount, thereby paying the aohoIe cost OF
the school, Let me here call the attention OF
towns to the fact that the town should first
have an opportunity to avail itself of the pro-
visions of the act. When the town declines to
establish school, then a district or union OF
districts may establish and maintain free
high school. l notice that in some towns,
school districts are taking advantage of the bill
before the town has declined to accept its pro-
visions, course they have no right to take
Respectfully yours,
