apply in the event of the governor
vetoing that measure. Mr.. Merritt
of Spokane, Gunderson of Mason,
Sims Of Cowlitz and Jones of King,
agreed on many of the heretofore
disputed provisions.
This bill of twenty sections is
a re enactment with amendments
of that man sections of the old
school code. 1t provides for the
county auditor to notify the asses
scr and superintendent of any ac-
ton of the county commissioners in
the formation or alteration of
school district boundaries. Also
several provisions regarding union
district Of three or more schools
An effort was made to change the
manner of apportionment of school
funds giving to each school district
2000 days attendance in addition
to its actual total days attendance.
This was amended in the house by
the representatives from the larger
cities and towns by striking out in
addition to its actual totals DAYS
attendance, thereby leaving the
law as at present, a credit of 1000
days attendance. This amend
ment saved to Seattle's school dis
triet from $4,000 to $50, 900, which
we would have contributed to the
support of the districts having less
than 1000 days attendance each
year The present provisions are
very liberal in the support of the
rural schools and the proposed
amendment was considered an ex-
treme measure.
"A change is made in the mile
age allowed to county superintend-
ents, the bill providing that in
counties from the first to the tenth
class lr shall be five cents per mile
and that in all counties above the
tenth ten cents per mile. 1t also
provides that no board of directors
shall before the first Monday in
June hire any teacher or teachers
whose term of teaching does not
commence prior to the first Mon
day in August.
School libraries are included in
one of the provisions giving power
to the school board. The compul-
sorry education clause which re-
quires at least three months school
for each child between the ages of
eight and fifteen years, has this
previso added; Provided that in
graded school districts in incorpor-
ated cities and towns such children
shall be sent to school at least six
months of each year.
Zone of the most important pro-
visions is that pertaining to the
adoption of text books and pre-
scribing courses of study which
adds to the state board of educa-
ton, consisting of the state super.
intendent and the four appointed
members, the six superintendent
of the six largest cities in the state,
making board for this purpose of
eleven members and it is believed
thai the question of adoption of
text books will be more satisfactory
than in the past.
Another very important pro-
vision is that for free text books
throughout the state, before the LIST
of September, 1902, the various
boards are to provide free books
and shall levy Especial tax in con-
nection with the general school tax
of 1901 to meet this added expense.
This free text book feature will also
do away with the disputes over the
