Some have understood the law in
a ludicrous manner. The county
court has been asked by some people
in the county If the railroad fares Of
their children are now to be paid.
Some Others have even asked if the
board and lodging is not to be now
paid by the county in every case
where county pupil comes to town.

board is willing to make any suitable
arrangement in the premises, but Of
course the whole question Of acting
upon the law is "up to" the county
court.
