Reports TO the state Department OF
Education are to the effect that there
has been a considerable increase in the
attendance at the high schools Of the
state as result Of the state tuition law.
Under this law the pupils from rural
schools who have graduated from the
eighth grade are permitted to enter town
high schools and compel the home district
to pay the tuition. Because Of this law
there are many students from the eoun-
try going into the high schools.
