New Rural High School System.
new system of rural high school
education was proposed in the assem-
blv by Assemblyman E. c. Meland of
De Forest, Dane county. AS the prin-
cipai Of one of the largest township
high schools Of the state he has found
that many persons of high school age
are unable to attend rural high schools
SDPDLcLnDSL,
enter these schools in November, al
ter the fall work Is done. AS the re-
suIf of this condition many boys are
unable to complete their high school
education. He has prepared a meas
yire designed TO circumvent this din
,,clty. The bill provides as an expert
rnent that ten rural high schools of
the state may establish p winter term
between October 30 and November 10,
and continuing leach year for num-
Der of weeks equal to one-haH the
number OF weeks school maintained
Tor the regular high school course dur
ing that school year" The quallfica-
tions for admission are the same as
those for the regular high school
course. AS a special inducement to
schools establishing courses of this
character, the measure provides that
two-thirds Of the extra expense OF the
school may be paid by the state, but
not to exceed $500 to any one school
during the year. The total appropria-
ton provided for in the bill is $4,000.

crease in the cost of state printing.

bertson has introduced a bill providing
for a state printing plant. The meas
ure will be sent to the finance commit
tee. where an investigation of the cost
of state printing In other stats will

the interurban companies are charg-
ing ten cents extra of passeng gers who
do not purchase tickets. and that in a
number of instances it Is mile from
the interurban ticket station to the
tracks.
Blow at "BuIi Moosers."
Under the terms OF the Allison BILL
candidate for office must file state
ment with the county clerk or secre-
tary of state. depending upon the dig
that he win support the party for
which he voted at the last election.
This is considered as a polite notice
at the Bull Moosers" In Wisconsin
there were candidates for office on the
Republican ticket who were openly
and avowedly Bull Moosers" in the
last general election. This would
practically preclude such a mixup in
another election.
The paving OF an easier road to the
divorce court is suggested in a meas
Ure which Assemblyman Dell H. Rich
ards has introduced By request. At
the present time a two years resi-
dence in the state Is required before a

ards bin requires only one years resi-
dence.
