 Instruction,
TUITION RATE INCREASED
Former Price of S60 Raised to SSO for Coming Ncar-DOublc Ses- slons to Be Instituted In
 High School.


 The board of education at its regu- lar bi-monthly meeting held last eyen- ing at its rooms on Orange street, rescinded its decision of September 14 in which all tuition pupils would be barred from receiving instruction at the high school after the present year. Tho action was taken mainly to set at rest the continued dissenting opin- ions which have been prevalent about the city since the vote was passed and also to show that the members of the board realize that they will have to cope win a very serious problem in the future, which would not be mater ially aided by the action taken at the September meeting.
 As a consequence of the resembling of the order, however, the members of the board decided to increase the tuition rate and beginning with next September all nonresident pupils will be compelled to pay either $75 or $50 for the year. the exact amount to be determined at the next meeting of the board. This amount only cov- CTS the real cost to the city for pro- vidng instruction for the out of town pupils and as the S75 rate which was recommended by James T. Moran ap- peared to some members as insufi- cient to pay the cost 1t was decided to leave the decision over until the next meeting in order that opinions of the public might have chance to be expressed.
 The general opinion of the members was that although the increase was in reality a necessity as 1t would not be fair to the citizens and taxpayers of this city that they pay for the instruc- tion of out of town pupils, 1t was with reluctance that the vote was passed. James T. Moran however expressed the matter in a nutshell when he said that the past action was but putting off to a future date the inevitable, namely the institution of double ses- sions in the high school
