Decisions Of Territorial Superintendent.
OFFICE SupT. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION,
OLYMPIA, W. r., April 20, 1879.
Conditions upon which Children may at.
tend Public School out of their District
and County.
Mrs, A. B. HUNTMsToN,
.Supt of Schools Co,olitz County:
You submit for my decision two
questions:
LIST, Upon what terms and conditions
maychildren attend public school out OF
their district?
I'd, Upon what terms may children at
tend a public school out of their county?
> I answer the first question as fol-
lows: Whenever the showing is made
to a teacher that an arrangement has
been perfected between the directors
of district in which he is teaching
and the directors of another diStmct,
for the attendance of children in his
school from said adjoining district,
and that the school money due
by epporti0nment to such children
has been transferred to his district,
then he may admit such children to
his school, bat not otherwise.
section 40, School Law.
To the second question, answer:
When q district is formed lying in
two counties, children belonging to
that district may, as a matter of
course, attend the school, regardless
of the county in which tho school,
house is built (Sec. 80, School Law
But children living in an adjoining
county, and not in such district, can
only attend q district school out of
their county by permission of the
directors of such district school.
And this permission should not be
granted unless such children pay a
tuition fee at least equal to the
amount of the school money each
child of the district draws for the
term.

PetersOn,s "DOllar Series.,'

In the annals of modern book pub
fishing nothing has been accomplish
ed to spproach in excellence and
cheapness the "Dollar Series of
Coed Books" published by T. B.
Peterson & Brothers, of Philadel-
phia. Some of the very best works
in contemporaneous literature have
already been given place in this
series. Not only have the publishers
culled in choicest fields for rare
works, but they have enshrined the
worthy works selected in slightly and
durable caskets, and wisely and
praiseworthily they have ignored the
catch penny device of printing
famous work from worn type on pa
per of wretched quality and then
binding it badly in fimsy paper COW
ers. As a continuation of this re-
markable " Dollar Series" the Messrs.
Peterson have Just issued" Woman's
Wrongs" by Mrs. Eiloart, being an
entirely true yet graphic description
of the legal wrongs that English
wives and mothers we'd to worthless
husbands are compelled to endure.
Since the days when Charles Dick
ems wrote in the prime of his great
powers there has been no such ar
raignment of bad English law as
Mrs. Eiloart truthfully and power.
fnlly portrays in this powerful, won
derful, and absorbing novel. Other
volumes of the 'Dollar Series
are "a Woman's Thoughts About
Woman" by Miss Mulock, MY
Sons Wife," Self-love," Out of
The Depths" Saratoga" "The
Lovers Trials" by Mrs. M. A. Dem

! RVyCH OF FLOWERS.
BY. WILLIAM RUSSELL.


Those fragrant flow'rs so dear TO me,
Now have withered and died;
And when removed them away,
With pain and sorrow sigh
For the beautiful floral gift,
Thou in my mem'ry shall live
And when others thy smiles shall claim
Still to thee homage I'll give Hn
Did'st thou think, when thou gavest them
How they'd BRIGHT my hours OF tcllf =
Didst thou conceive of their power
To light lifes pressing turmoil?
/ know the hand that gather them.
Will never gather me more;
And with care long preserv' them,
Thinking of the fow'r more pure.
In human form that fow'r thou art,
In pure tenderness blooming -
Adjoining with beauty life's vase
Yet thou art unassuming.
Bloom on then, sweet fow'r, to LIES end
Think of the hearts you can cheer-
And when life's stem shall be sever q,
In realms of light you'll appear.
