Oskaloosa Times: There seems to
Joe disposition on the part of State
lSupt. Riggs and others to pc eternally
Imonkeyng with the school laws. Just
now the bill introduced by Representa-
tive Holmes, house file No. G2, is re-
ceiVing the attention of the lawmakers
and incidentally the public as we'll.
This bill provides that the state shall
be divided into county school districts,
each district to be composed of one
county. These districts 10 be under
the control of three men who shall be
elected at the regular school elections.
Ifhis board of education shall appoint
or elect county superintendent, en-
Iploy teachers, construct buildings, may
establish county high school, may
contract for union or consolidated
schools, and are generally given free
rein to run the schools OF the entire
county TO suit themselves. This bill
is meeting with aihostile reception out
side OF school circles, and why not?
The central thought running through
the whole proposition seems to be that
our country schools are a failure. Do
you believe it? Well, we don't, and
liz you will take the trouble TO look
around little you will find that It's
the boys and girls who receive the
greater part OF their education in the
country schools who are doing things
