seBce Of any provision by the Schot
Commissioners of the respective coun-
ties for the maintenance of schools, the
board in the county 10 which the chill
dren reside should pay to the board IN

for each child so attending. a sum equal
to the average cost of each pupil in the
school. A resolution also declares tina,
