Rural School Election

On Saturday next, March 8, there will
be held an election in the school districts
Of Silver City and Dewey to determine
whether it is the wish Of the people to
establish rural high school district
formed out Of the two districts named
AS we have before stated, Nugget lie
emphatically in favor of the establish
ment Of high schools wherever possible
il the county. We don't like to see our
lads and lassies bundled off to Boise and
elsewhere to obtain high school privileges
which should be provided at home. 1t
is, however, possible to obtain good
thing by sacrifice not justified by the
result, and WI believe that the present
proposal illustrates that truism.
In the first place the proposed district
is to be formed by junction Of the
two school districts of Dewey and
Silver City. The latter has been extinct
for year and all the work and expenses
must fall on Silver City We obtained
an opinion on this point from the At
torney-General Of the State, and this is
what he says;
I'm answer to your question as to
whether or not school that had less
than five pupils, but which had not been
declared by the county school superin-
tendent to have lapsed, be constituted
part Of the rural high school district, 1
would say that it would be possible, but
certainly would not be advisable, as the
county school superintendent might at
any time declare the said district lapsed.D 2
A rural high school district, to be
success, in our opinion, should be formed
Of certainly not less than three districts,
so as to divide up the expense more.
Listen, our rate Of taxation last year, for
all purposes, state and county, was 2l
mills, and the law allows the new rural
high school board to levy Is mills for
that school alone, or nearly three quart
ers Of the total tax for all purposes.
The attorney generals decision above
referred to also defines the status Of such
Rural High School board as follows i;
In answer to the question as to whether
or not rural high school board has con
troll over the various districts that con-
stitute it, would state that it does not,
in regard to common school matters.
This board simply has control over the
rural high school district as whole in
regard to all things pertaining to high
schools, and not in common school
matters. The various districts consti-
tuting the rural high school district still
maintain their organization and identity
and are controlled and operated in the
same manner as before.
In answer to the question as to wheth-
er a separate school organization would
have to be maintained, l would say that
the rural high school law contemplates
that separate school organization
should be maintained and teachers hired
for that purpose only.
Relating to the payment Of rural
high school district teacher, I have tc
say that teachers could not be paid out
Of the funds OF the common schools, but
out Of the special tax provided for rura
high schools
