Payment Of Tuition.
Superintendent Sperry read COM;
munications which nertained to the
refusal of the board of education
in North Mankato to pay for the
tuition of twelve pupils from that
village who are receiving Industrial
training in the Mankato high school.
One letter WAS from Seetetafy An
derson of the North Mankato board
in which it was stated that the board
declined to make the payments on
the advice of the county attorney OF
Nicallet county. Tho board across
the river takes the ground that the
tuition should be paid by the parents
of those pupils who are taking al.
vantage Of the training. Another
letter from Mr. Anderson stated that
representative of the North Man.

nights meeting TO discuss the mat,
ter However. no Representatives put
in an appearance. The tuition
amounts to about $25 per month.
. President Davies remarked that he
awas inclined to believe that. instruc.
ton in manual training should be
as free as salvation, but at the
same time he could see no reason
why the North Mankato board should
not pay the tuition in this instance.
