number of children have been expelled
from the Frackville school because Of their
residence outside the borough limits. The
reason for this action on the part of tho
School Board, it has been learned, was because
the Board did not fell that they could afford
the expenses and receive no remuneration
for the service
The parents of the expelled scholars were,
however, given the alternative of paying one
dollar per month for each child becoming a
pupil, but they have not taken kindly to this
proposition.
Some of the children live but few yards
beyond the borough limits and others nearly
tVo miles The legal statutes provides that
Blythe township shall bear the expense, if it
is not beyond their means

has made several attempts in the past two
months to have the Blythe board take action,

dent of that board. That august official was
made aware Of Mr.. Eckerly's errand and
promised to place the subject before the
proper authorities, but two weeks later told
the Frackville man that he had forgotten the
matter.
Mr. Eckerly says he has made several other
moves toward the board and has at last re.
ceived their refusal to take any action in the
matter. Meanwhile his children have the
