Authority to Transfer Stu
dents Has, as an Instance,
Almost DepopuIated Abing-
ton High School.
FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP f..
Is ALSO TROUBLED
In Latter Township New Build
ING Now Being Constructed
But There Are Few Pupils in
Sight. ..

The new school transfer law, which
was enacted by the legislature last
winter, has been found to be a very
expensive one to the townships of
Wayne county. Similar conditions
exist in other counties of the state, and
1t is very probable that some united
effort will be made by the county SUI
perintendents at the next session OF
the legislature to repeal the present
law.
AS a result of the new law, County
Superintendent c. w. Jordan stated
this morning that there are but four
students in the Arlington township
high school and that the patrons of
the new high school at Whitewater are
placed in such a position as to doubt
whether the requirements Of the school
will be sufficient to admit 1t being GER
titled. 1t is also proving source of
great expense to Wayne township.
Absolutely Unique.
In Arlington township the conditions
are absolutely unique. The high
school there is non-certified and q
three year course school. The new
law made it optional with the patrons
OF the school, whether they wanted
their sons and daughters to attend a
non-certified or certified high school,
The new law also makes it optional!
whether they shall send their sons and
daughters to the common schools in
the township In which they reside, un-
der certain conditions. Under the
old law the township authorities could
compel the patrons to send their sons
and daughters to the schools of the
township and q transfer was only al
lowed in case student had finished
the three year high school course and
desired to go to certified high school
to complete the fourth years work.
Trustee Samuel Clevenger Of Abing-
ton township. little thinking that his
high school would be literally devas-
tated by the new law, employed a hign
school instructor at salary OF $50
per month. However. when school
opened, September 6, only few stu
dents were enrolled. The rest Of the
commissioned high school at Center
vile. The transfer rate for certified
or commissioned high schools, is from
So to 81 month, or the actual cost
to the township. The maximum rate
is rarely sufficient and so it Is eetimat-
ed that 1t will cost Arlington township
approximately $50 per month to trans
fer the high school students to Center
vile. In addition to this. there are
ten common school students who have
been transferred from Arlington town
| ship to the Center township schools, at
a rate of 50 month. making total
amount paid by Arlington township au-
thorities to the Center township an
| thorities of $40 month. The salary
OF the high school instructor has to be
paid, although his duties are very few.
To Increase Tax Levy.
In order to meet these expenses the
Arlington township tax levy viii have
to be increased In another year. Alb
ington township will expend approx.

TEN THOUSAND SEE FINISH
AFTER AccoMPLssHtSG HIS FEAT
YOUNG MAN WAS CARRIED INTO
THEATER WHERE HE PLAYED
OVER AN HouR.

Thirty-six hours, thirty-thres min
utes and fihsen seconds was tAs time
made by RSx4, Harding, at the Palace
theater, in his successful attempt to
establish i new worlds record for
long distance piano playing. Harding
began playing at 8 o'clock Monday
morning and finished last evening at
S:33.15 o'clock. breaking the worlds
record held by New York city resi-
dent, by one minute and fifteen sec
onds. AS soon a. he had broken the
record and established a new one he
was removed to the interior of the
Palace theater where he played sew
eral spirited selections for an hour or
more.
Richmond encouraged Mr. Harding
by the presence Of, 1t is estimated.
10000 citizens last evening. The lob
by Of the theater was jammed with
people during the entire evening. It
was SO close in the lobby that two
women came near fainting and Hard
ing's feat in playing under such diff
ficulties is considered all the more re-
markable by hts friends.
He Wins Many Bets.
As a result OF his success Harding
was pecuniary reimbursed to the ex-
tent OF several hundred dollars, out
side OF the prizes which he received.
A large number Of bets were made
that he would not finish and 1t is said
that he won large amount Of money
from this source alone. The betting
started off at even money but early
in the evening, Harding's friends were
given large odds, it is said.
Harding was visibly affected as a re-
suit of his long ordeal. He was very
sleepy and tired. He had to be car
ried into the interior of the theater.
