Walhalla. The occasion. was one
that will long be remembered. The
day was an ideal one, the large
crowds that thronged the town were
in the best Of spirits, and the day
passed off as one OF the most pleas
ant ever spent by the people of Wal
halla i'm company with their friends
OF the entire county. The crowd
present was variously estimated at
between 5000 and $500, and it is
safe estimate that not less than
$500 OF Oconce's citizens were pres

New School Code.

At the last session OF the legislature
new school code, drafted by a commits
sion, was finally passed by both branch
es, but it had been so changed and
amended and contained so many object
ionsble features that Governor Stuart felt
compelled to veto it. The same commits
sion, though acting now without author
ity, has drafted new code which it is be-
lieved will be acceptable to the friends of
education in all parts of the state.
The new code makes exhaustive pro-
vision for all features of the school sys.
tenn, among the most significant being
the careful attention that is paid to the
sanitary condition of the school houses
and the strickness of the application of
the compulsory attendance laws. Many
of the Objectionable features in the code
as adopted by the last legislature have
been eliminated.
Under the provisions of the proposed
new code the state is to be divided into
four classes of school districts. The first
class is to contain population of 5000
or more; the second class not more than
100000 nor less than 10000; the third
class not more than 10000 nor less than
5000; and the fonrth class under 5000.
In districts of the first class the school
directors are to be appointed by the
Judges of the courts of common pleas. In
the second, third and fourth classes the
directors are to be elected by the people
of the entire school district, one each
year for a term OF five years.
A state board of education will be
created by the new code. 1t will have
supervision of the educational life and
facilities fall sections. One of its main
functions will be to equalize the educa.
tional advantages of each section, so that
the children in a remote rural section
will have the best possible means to get
common school education.
The sanitary and moral environment of
the children in all parts of the state will
be looked after by this board. II will
have arbitrary power to close down any
school which it deems to be unfit in
sanitary way. The board is to be COM
posed of six members appointed by the
governor for term of six years.
The new code will require that plans
Tor school buildings provide safety,
health, fresh air and comfort to the pu.
pills. A system of rural inspection is
provided. The smallest country school
Will have the same attention that the
large city schools are given. school
houses and grounds are to be used as re.
creation centers and as places of public
assemblages for proper purposes to be de-
termined by the board.
If the new code is adopted county
superintendents will be elected every
four years by a convention of the school
directors OF the county. They are to be
responsible to the state superintendent
OF public instruction and they are to have
general supervision of all the schools in
the country, with power to recommend
changes to the school directors.
