In no instance has the school board
refused schooling to a child when Il

ability to pay. This information was
received from the child's parents dt.
rectly or from sources upon which
the,school board were justified in abat.
ing the same.
Soon after the new law was passed
in which authority is given to school
boards OF districts not having a high
school to allow such districts having
one a sum not to exceed $3.50, the re-
port was freely circulated (by parties
who should know better, but for mo

this time.
IT has been a serious question and
often discussed at the meetings OF
the directors as TO whether we, with
q limited room for high school pur-
I poses at our command, were justified
in receiving any outside pupils, as IL
was felt that our own pupils could
not receive the attention they should
Last year, an extra teacher was en-
ployed, at an expense OF $50 per
month. and the same has been contin.

wonld have been unnecessary had We
not had tho outside pupils 10 provide
! for. The average attendance of our
high school at the present time is 1870,
OF which sixty.three are from the out
side. These sixtythree pupils are pro
vided for the same as are our own with
free textbooks and all other appliances
necessary.
At very low estimate. we calcu-
late that the cost is a trifle over So
per pupil. Should the bars be let down
aud our doors opened to any and all
comers, 1t can be readily seen that In
short time the taxpayers OF district No.
Will be called upon to build an ad-
ditional building. and you then viii
be called upon to pay for it. Would
the outside pupils or the Farmers
union OF which Mr.. Haughey IL so
much concerned. assist in a financial
way?
Referring again to the new school
law which states that sum not TO
exceed $3.50 may be allowed by out
side districts:
1t is not said that we shall not
charge more than $3.50 or that we
are compelled to receive any non-resI.
