Opinion Relating to the Tuition
Students Must Pay.
From Tuesdays Daily.


J. W. Olsen, state superintendent of
schools, has an opinion from c. 5.
Jelly, special counsel in the attorney
generals department, on the question
of tuition that may be required of non
resident pupils. He says that any
school board has the right. to require
tuition paid i'll advance before admit
ting such pupils. In special case
cited. where two daughters of farmer
not living in the district, occupied a
room in a house owned by their father,
Mr.. Jelley holds that they are not res
idents and may be compelled to pay
tuition. However, it is within the pow
er of the board to make its own rules,
and they can be admitted free, on the
strength of the argument that the
father is. a taxpayer in the district.

You want the cleanest, purest, best

Ardee quality.
