1t must be that this loss is made up
largely by children who nave moved
to town temporarily from the SURF
ounding country districts for the pur-
pose of going to school. Your dist
riot clerk tells me that these persons
pay no tuition, and in order to de-
termine the approximate cost of edu-
eating these children, l have comput-
ed the average cost of all Of the pu-
pills in your district. Lfirst eliminat-
ed from your total expenses of last
year., which were s3S,757.01, the m
cunts which you paid during the year
for repairs and improvements, and
for library books, and also the pay
ment which you made IN your bond
ed Indebtedness; that is to say.
after subtracting these sums which
amounted to s75O4.21. from your to-
tai expenses for the ear l divided
the remainder by ISL. which was the
average daily attendance during the
year, and found that the average cost
per pupil for all the schools was a
little over forty dollars, s41.61, to be
exact. By dividing the cost by 1888,
which was the average number of pu-
pills belonging, the expense per pupil
was 1891. You will thus note that
the cost of the schools is approx
mately forty dollars per pupil per
year
Your district clerk is unable to tell
me how many children are attending
school here from outside districts, but
from the cases which have been
brought to my attention from time to
time, 1 am satisfied that the number
is large.
In subdivision 9, page "A OF the
school laws Of 1909, you are given
authority "to determine who are nom
resident pupils, and to fix the rates
Of tuition for such nonresident pu-
pills"
l know of a number OF families
that have moved to Pendleton tenn
porarily for the purpose of sending
their children to school. They claim
their permanent residence in the
country, and have their children en-
umerated there. Some of the men
who are living here temporarily are
holding the office OF director or clerk
in their own districts. They receive
the money which their children draw
from the county, and expend 1t In their
own districts. Their property is in
the country and as they pay no tu-
ition here, they are contributing moth
ing to the support of the Pendleton
schools. Here is one instance that
know Of:
A country district situated about
twenty miles from Pendleton held a
school meeting last fall and suspend
ed the school under Section 107. This
suspension vas a temporary one, and
was for the purpose Of arranging with
other districts for the tuition Of the
children. The district clerk with seven
children of school age, and another
gentleman with five, moved to Pen
dleton for thu winter. In their own
district, their special school tax Is a
fraction of one mill. In Pendleton
the special school tax Is five mills, but
they do not pay any Of it, as they are
not assessed here. l believe that you
will agree with me that 1t is only fair
to the taxpayers In this district, that
those from the outside VINO get the
benefits Of the schools should also
share in their support, and I therefore

the local school board to make no
such charges .
The subject of charging tuition was
brought to the attention of the school
beard by Superintendent F. K. Welles
and at his request the following ex-
tract from his report to the board is
here published.
There is a matter of business poll
icy which I have on former occasions
discussed with your district clerk and
also with your city superintendent,
but about which 1 have never made
any written recommendation to you
as a body. I refer to the policy Of
furnishing free tuition to the residents
OF outside districts. Your last CEN
sus report, which your district clerk
filed with me in December. shows
that you have 237 children less than
you had 4 e ago. yet in spite Of this
loss, the monthly reports which are
made to me by Supt. Landers, show
that there is no decrease in the num-
Der of children attending school.

One might ask which is the better,
the mans way or the woman's?, Isn't
1t as always, that each has part Of the
best, but that neither is wholly best,
and that to get the best Is to evolve

The man is undoubtedly right in
wanting good, wholesome food regu-
larly. And in holding the household
to this he Is really doing q good.
A woman's health will certainly de-

But In the simple meal the woman

still heartier dinner and the supper

This is not only unnecessary. but is

A Song of Love and the Sea.
The Dawn was flying from the Night;
Swift as the wind she sped;
Her hair was like fleece of light;
Her cheeks were warm and red.
All passion pale, the Night pursued {;
She fed away, away;
And In her garments, rainbow hued
She gained the peak of Day.
And then all shaken with alarms,
She leaped down from its crest;
Into the Seas uplifted arms,
And swooned upon his breast.
