Notice.
To the Members of the School
Boards of Barton County:

To the Members of the School
Boards of Barton County:
The Legislature changed the
date of the annual meeting from
July to the second Friday in
April. Notices will be sent to
the clerk so they can be posted
10 days before the date of meet
ing.
A Law was passed whereby all
districts must have at least Z
months of school. This does not
apply where the pupils are sent
to adjoining districts or to those
districts whose enumeration is
less than Is and whose area is
less than y square miles and
who cannot raise enough money
without assessing over 1 1-2millS,
to maintain Z months of school.
The clerks cannot report the
enumeration at this meeting as
i! will not be taken until after
the Both of June. The clerk
will send in his report to me at
the usual time in July. See how
much money is still in the district
treasure after this term of school
closes and find out how much
more you will need to run the
school next year and report this
amount to the County Clerk.
Don't bother about the levy
as the commissioners will attend
to that.
