is GIVEN A SEAT
President Morey Serves on
State High School Board.

G. A. Morey was yesterday received
into full fellowship in the state high
school board. Officially the board re-
ceived an opinion from Attorney Gen
eral Douglas at that time to the effect
that the president of the state normal
board is under the law a member Of
the high school board and has the same
rights as any other member.
In the. law which provides for spe-
cial aid to high schools giving instruc-
lions in the common branches is con-
tanned provision that for the pur-
poses of enactment of this law the
president of the state normal school
board shall become a member of the
high school board.
While Dean Pattee was president of
the normal board he sat with the high
school board, but since his retirement 1t
has not been customary for the preSi-
dent of the normal board to exercise
that right. Recently Mr.. Morey raised
the question of his prerogative, and TO
bring the matter to an issue he attend
ed the last meeting of the board. 1t was
not until the meeting of yesterday that
the question was finally settled in an
official manner.
The board decided yesterday that in
IIc IuluTe II VIII meet quarterly III
stead of monthly, and the next meet
ing will therefore be held on the first
Thursday in February. The law re-
quires that it shall meet at least once
each year, and otherwise leaves the
time of meeting to the board itself.
Considerable time was devoted to the
conditions surrounding school at
Waverly. Previous to last year this
was a state graded school and received
rc.% Ifo.,f ff,r1
was made for state aid as usual, but
the board learned that the school was
being conducted in a parochial school
building, and Informed that the local
school board had expended $500 and
500 Of state money in permanent re-
pairs upon this rented building These
conditions, if truly represented, would
disqualify the school from receiving
state aid, and the application for last
year was denied. Since then John M.
Casey, secretary of the school board of
Waverly, has written to th~ high school
board that the representations as made
to the state high school board were not
true. He stated that between $500 and
5000 had been spent in repairs upon the
building. H
After some discussion of the question
1t was decided to give Mr.. Casey an OPP
portunity to EappeaF before the board
at it's next meeting in February and ex-
plain the exact situation.
On recommendation of Supt Olsen
the school. at -Roseau was granted aid
for last year as a graded school
amounting to $3.50. The application had
been held up blythe board pending an
investigation.
The following schools were newly
placed on, the. list for inspection
throughout the present year to deter
mine their eligibility to participate in
the apportionment of state aid to grad
ed schools for next year:
Albany, Badger, Balaton, Bertha,
Black Duck, Cass Lake, Chisholm,
Clearwater, Dover, Foley, Fountain,
Gray Eagle, Hancock, Henderson, KEEL
logg, Nfckerson, Ruthton, Seanlon, Sill
yer Lake. Terah, UIen, Vernon Center
and Westbrook.
The amount of the apportionment to
schools of that class this year was $3.50
each.
