WANT STATE Aid
Law CONTINUED
LOCAL CITIZENS PROTEST
AGAINST
REPEAL OF STATE AID
Practically All Of Business
Men Sign Petition To
Senator Bush.

"a petition was circulated here
Yesterday requesting the senator
from this district, Hon. ]. O. A.
Bush, to make a fight against the
bill for the repeal of state aid to
high schools. The petition was
signed by practically every bust
ness man in town and by all 9th
ers to whom presented. 1t is un-
derstood that a similar petition
is also being circulated at Ozan.
A great many think that state
aid to high schools comes closer
to the great mass of people and
is worth more to them than any
other state appropriations for ed
ucational purposed.
The bill, which would do away
with the state aid system, origi-
mated in the House and passed
that BODY the first of the week.
The fight on the measure will now
be before the Senate.
A school that secures state aid
necessarily has to be of a high
grade and must do certain re-
quired work. One of the regula-
tionS is that no tuition can be
charged any student in a county
in which such school is located.
