AT an adjourned meeting Of the school
board, held Tuesday evening, the free
high school law was taken up and dis
cussed. 1t was the first real insight the
board had obtained in the matter and
quite little time was taken up in talk
ing the question over. It was quite
favorably considered by the board, and
no doubt the matter will be taken hold
of by our people and pushed. A county
high school Of this kind would entitle
any pupil in the county to free admis-
sion, providing that he or she could pass
the necessary examination, and this fact
would doubtless be appreciated by the
outside districts. A petition of 200
names to the county commissioners will
bring the question up for vote of the
DeODle.
