DICKINSON SCHOOLS.
County School Board Employs
Counsel to Oppose State Board.

especial TO Inc
CLINTWOOD, VA, February 26.-The
County School Board. of Dickenson with
w. A. Dyer. superintendent. presiding,
met here Thursday to take some action
In reference to the action of the State
School Board. in cutting the school al
lowance of this county as per the school
census taken in 1905. According to the
school census taken by the school clerks
of the school districts, the school popu
lation of the county was $685.. This is
tho enumeration of the children of school
age, between seven and twenty years of
age, inclusive. When the general census
of 1900 was taken, tho school ago was
between five and twenty-one years, in
elusive and the county had 3.40l school
populations. The county at that time
increased In general population from 1890
to 1900. siSty-flvc per cent, which was
the third largest in the state. Wise and
Allegheny. only increasing a greater per
cent, so tho Increase Of the school popu-
lation was only the usual increase, as
the county is still increasing very rapid
ly in population.
But the State School Board without
any authority, or without any evidence
to establish that the school census OF 1905
in this country was not correct, arbitrarily!
cut the school population of this county
down 504 making the school population
Oh Inc county, G.Sal, IilStehu VI 5,o5O, as
returned by the clerks OF the districts.
The State School Board also cut the al
lowance Of few other counties besides
Dickinson. This reduction in tho school
population of the county, OF 504 will re-
duce the allowance from tile State school
funds. which is one dollar and eighty-siS
cents and eight mills each. s94l.47 each
year. or s4,707.35 for the next five years
and till the next census Is taken.
The County School Board was very in
diEnnntA over the action of the State
School Board as the action of the State
Board discredits the returns made by the
clerks OF the district school boards, and
is an accusation against each of them
that they had falsifed their return and
puriured themselves. The several clerks
who took the school census of 1905 are
as highstandlng men as can be found
anywhere and to question their returns,
which are under oath, are Very grave
charges.
The County School Board employed
Judge Alfred A. Skecn and Roland l..
Chase, two prominent attorneys of Dick
enson county, 10 take such legal steps
as may be necessary to have the full
allowance made TO the county, so II is
expected that this matter will be thor

board and the citizens of the county IN
