Law Makes Il imperative for City

to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, July 1S.-County sup
.erintendent Snow, of this city, takes
sharp issue with the school authorities
at Keokuk who hold that the Iowa leg
lisature last winter fixed things so
the same high school advantages as his
more prosperous playmates." Superin-
tendent Snow holds just the reverse to
be true. He CONSTITUTES the law fixing
high school tuition at no more than
$3.50 per student per month is manda-
tory upon all high schools and obliges
them to accept tuitioners at this
amount.
The annual report Of the Webster
City high school shows that the esti-
mated cost per pupil of operating the
school last year was Sass per month.
Despite this, tuition students from the
nearby country districts were accepted
at 1925 per month-an estimated loss
to the independent district of Webster
City Of 81 cents per month per student
There were thirty-four students in the
Webster City high school last year and
eleven in the grades, making total OF
forty five.
Loss on Tuition Students.
Superintendent Snow holds that the
new law compels the Webster City dis
trict and every other district having
high school. to accept tuition students
at $3.50 per month. This would neces-
state a loss per student per month to
the Webster City district Of 1925. Sup
erintendent Snow, however. holds that
in reality 1t Is no loss. He says that
no more teachers are required for the
reason that now days practically every
teacher has his own branch to teach
and that in Iowa high schools 1t Is
customary to have but one class per
day in each branch. SO that the pres
ence Of tuition students does not make
extra classes.
The new law, however. will make
good deal Of difference in tho revenue
Of high schools on the matter Of tuition
On basis Of the same number Of stu
dents next year. Webster City's tuition
revenue will be cut down $3.50 per
month. County Superintendent Snow,
however, holds that because Of the
mandatory cut in tuition more country
