Attorney General Rules on The
State School Law

DISTRICTS ENTITLED TO PER
CAPITA ON CHILDREN ATTEND
ING PRIVATE SCHOOL.

The Walla Walla school district, may
draw state school funds. for attend
ance of pupils at private schools in
this city, even if part Of the instruction
in such private schools is given IN
a language other than English. Such
was the decision Of Attorney General
Atkinson today, who wrote to the state
superintendent as follows:
1.-The law does not exactly specify
nor indicate the work that shall be
done in a private school; and while it
is to be presumed that it shall COM
pare favorably with the work OF the
public school, there is nothing in the
law to indicate that another language
than English shall not be used or part
ly used in such private school, and If
such private school does fairly good
work, the district would be entitled to
the attendance.
1T is my opinion that if the work is
a farce and does not in any manner
compare favorably with the ordinary
work of a public school, then the dis
trict would not be entitled to the at
tendance.

say that the law as it now stands does

Death Of Mis- Betty Adkins.

After having lived eiEhty-fve we'll spent
years the soul of Miss Betty Adkins took
its flight to the home of the just Wednes-
day morning. For many years she had been
in feeble health, though not confined to
her bed until the pat few weeks. In all
her sickness and suffering she retained
that cheerful spirit that had characterized
her life. So pure was her own life that
she could think no i'll of others, and it
was subject of remark among those who
knew her best that she never spoke harsh
Iy at any one, but always had kind word
and cheerful greeting to those with whom
she was thrown in contact. Such .charac-
ters are blessing to the world, and they
always leave their impress for good. Mis-
Adkins had be a resident of our city 90.
ly a year orso, and while the in6rmities
of old age kept her close at home, those
who met her esteemed her most highly
She died at about two clock Wednes
day morning at the residence of her neph-
ew, Mr.. J. o. Bell. She was sister of
Mrs. t. ] Bell and aunt of Mr.. ]. o. Bell
and Miss Bessie Bell. On Thursday morn
ing the BODY was carried to Smithville,
Ga, where on yesterday it was laid to rest
by the side OF loved ones who had gone
before.

mans to Smithville leaving here yester-
