More County High Schools.

The legislature passed bills provld-
ing for the establishment Of county
high schools in Phillips, Sherman,
Marion, Republic, Smith and Jewell
counties. The county high school
proposition is becoming quite popu-
lar. The first county high school was
established in Dickinson county at
Chapman, thirteen years ago. Since
then county high schools have been
established in Atchison, Labette,
Montgomery, Sumner, Norton, Thorn
as, Clay and Cherokee counties.
The provisions Of the Marion county
high school bill passed at this session
Of the legislature are peculiar in that
arrangements are made for the estab-
lishment Of county high school in
Marion, Peabody Florence and Hills
boro. This is a new departure in the
educational work Of the state and 1t
is believed that the plan is Of sufli-

temporary experiment. II it should

1902. The section which is in doubt,
however, relates to Judges Of the dis

the appointment Of judges by the
governor to serve from January, 1902,
at the expiration Of the terms Of the
present officials, to January, 1908.
During the interim, judges will be
elected and will thereafter serve four
year terms, being elected in the even

New School Laws.


The legislature passed several laws
Of interest to the school patrons Of
this county.
The acts requiring county COM
missioners to pay 500 to the insti.
tute fund in each county, and to pay
associate examiners for four days
services each quarter, were passed.
By another act, county superin-
tendents will be allowed one dollar
per school per annum as travelling ex-
penses; and are allowed all money
actually expended for stationery,
postage, freight, and express.
An amendment to the certificate
law reestablishes the standard for
third-grade certificates. The appli-
cant, in order to pass, must not be
less than sixteen years Of age; must
make general average Of not less
than 10 per cent in oil the branches
required for first.grads certificates
except bookkeeping, natural philoso-
ply, and civil government, and must
not fall below 60 per cent in any
branch. No limit is placed on the
number Of successive certificates
which may be issued to one person.
Boards Of education are prohibited
from employing as teachers, one who
is the husband, wife, son or daughter
Of member OF the board, unless EN-.
ployed by a unanimous vote.
The act for voluntary disorganiza'
ton and consolidation OF adjacent
school districts, and for the convey
ance of pupils, is amended in some
minor details.
By another act, school boards are
authorized to send, at the expense Of
the district, children to schools in ad.
jacent districts when they reside at
too great a distance from the school
In their own district, or when the
number OF children In q district will
not warrant the continuance Of q
school therein.
Special acts were passed establish
ing county high schools in Phillips,
Jewell, Pottawatomie, Smith, Repub.
lie, and Sherman counties. These
acts vary in their provisions. The
Pottawatomie act requires the school

and Sherman, the school must be es-
tablished by petition to the county
commissioners. In Jewell, the com.
missioners are required to submit the
question to the voters.
The superintendent Of Sumner
county is allowed $25 per month for
expenses and clerk hire.
Counties having population Of
more than $4,000 are required to pay
county superintendent $1,000 per
annum. There is but one county
