School System.

rs
The committee appointed by the con.
gress OF county school superintendent,
held in Minneapolis in August, to de.
velop plan for changing from the
present system of district to a system
OF township schools, met again at St.
Paul. Those present were DR.. Kiehle,
Supt. Mcintosh, of Washington county;
supt. A. M. Sperry, Of Dodge county;
S. A. Farnsworth, principal of the
Cleveland school, st. Paul, and Supt.
Pendergast.
The whole question was discussed at
some length, and it was finally decided
to recommend the ablishment in
each township of board of three trus-
tees to have charge of all the schools in
the township, with the exception of
such independent schools as desire to
to remain independent. The plan is to
conduct the schools of each township
on the same principle as city schools
are now run, the board of trustees
being elected by the voters of the whole
township without regard to locality
This will result in an equalization Of
the school taxes and make all the schol-
ars sharers in the public funds, accord
ing to the cost of running them.
