BOARD MAY PAY THE TUITION
Plan to Provide Facilities for Pupils
in Cutoff District.
ATTEND THE SCHOOLS IN OMAHA
cheaper to Pay Expense of Tuition
THAN to Provide Facilities for
instruction In Their
own district.

Il IS likely that the Board Of Educa-
tion. when 1t meets In adjourned session
Wednesday night will solve the problem
confronting it at the CORTLAND school
by paying. for the present at least, the
tuition In the Omaha schools of those pu-
pills residing ih Cutoff who have passed
The sixth grade.
At the meeting OF the board last week
81 was represented tina there were five
pupils who. having passed the sixth
grade. the highest grade taught In the
CORTLAND school, had gone TO the Lake
school. which is the Omaha school most
accessible to that portion Of the city Of
Council Bluffs lying west OF the Mis-
souri, river. The Omaha school authorl-
tics. however, notified the parents Of
these pupils that they must pay tuition
the same as is demanded Of nonresident
pupils. This the parents stated they were
unable TO do and. further. that even II
they could afford to pay such tuition, did
not believe that they should be required
10 do so. on the grounds that the school
district of council Bluffs should provide
suitable education for the children living
within It's limits, even If the Missouri
river did intervene between the city
proper and that portion of the munich
pality known as Cutoff.
Attorney Frank Capen. member Of the
Board Of Education. after Investigation
Of the statutes governing such matters,
is OF the opinion that the board would
have a right 10 pay the tuition OF pupils
r%esldins In West Council Bluffs and at
tending the Omaha schools.
A statute provides that when children
live an unreasonable distance from their
own school, the board may contract with
lAA.l. "A Al. 1872 -
dependent districts for the instruction OF
children thus deprived OF school advant-
ages. in any school therein, and the cost
thereof shall be paid from the teachers
fund,
While this law makes no specific pro-
Vision for attendance outside the state
there is no prohibition upon such a
plan" said Mr. CapellG 1.-The fact that nc
mention Is made of paying tuition to a
school district in another state is prob
ably because such a contingency was not
thought of when sthe law was drawn up
l believe we have a right to pay tuition
TO the Omaha district just the same as
10 a district In the state of Iowa"
To pay for the tuition of these five pu
pills In the Omaha schools. II is conceded
by the member of the Board of Educa.
tion. would be, far less costly than to es
tablish the seventh and eighth grades II

Today we cannot conceive of a mental or

IN which Abraham Lincoln wal lacking,

essential and yet the most apparently con-
Trajectory elements. He had the LOFTY
conceptions of the idealist, united with the
s~hrewdness of common sense. He had the
tenderness OF a woman. and the courage
of a Henry of Navarro. He had the sim
plicity of a child and the precedence Of a
statesman. He had the faith Of a martyr
and the masterful grasp Of the practical
man. The possession of these qualities
made him the forceful, aggressive and sue
cessful leader of the period of the rebel
lion. As Moses was trained from early
childhood to fit him to lead the hosts Of
Israel from bondage in Egypt, 20 Lincoln
was trained to make him the leader OF the
historic epoch of which he forms a central
figure. As Moses was led to. Nebo's
