Bryan's name since our former local
reporter left. And he was a great ad-
mirer of the Nebraskan and would
never have said anything like that

things about any one. If we can't say
anything good or pleasant We do not
say anything. We have no time nor

A UNIQUE DECISION.

The Zion SchOol QlStr1ct IN 1Slz
voted a four mills tax and did the
other things required by the terms of
the rural graded school act in order
to secure state aid. That year they
were given the 5000 state aid. The
next year the district fell short three
or four in enrolment, but had the
necessary average attendance. Having
failed in this one particular to comply
with the terms of the act the district
was denied the 5000 allowed for two
teacher rural graded schools. Of
course there was technical failure
to comply with the terms Of the act
and the patrons could not complain.
This year We understand that they
have the necessary enrolment and the
average attendance, but the state su-
perintendent of education denies them
the state aid because they did not have
the necessary enrolment last year.
Now the uniqueness of this decision
is in how the state superintendent Of
education reasons in refusing to give
aid this year because there was not
the necessary enrolment last year,
and last year refused state aid because
there was not the necessary enroll
ment for that year.
1t may be that the law allows aid on
the enrolment of the preceding year,
but if it does, how did the state super
intendent deny the allowance last
year. On this line of reasoning the
state aid should have been granted last
year, or if the Jaw requires the at
tendance the current year the district
syould have it this year The state su-
parinten6ent is something Of an auto
crat. and if you want to have favor
with him you must agree with him or
you are al wrong. So we agree with
the state superintendent that he was
wrong last year il denying state aid
to tue district, because the year before
there was the nee essary enrolment,
Or he is wrong IN refusing it this year
becaIse tLere is the necessary enroll
me1t this year to Te2ure the aid
Just the ether day the patrons all
met at .he school Louise and mad de-
lightful pickle and were feeling good
over the prospect that the school this
year would get the state aid because
they had the children enrolled and
there would be no doubt about the at
tendance average, because these peo-,
pie are interested in their school ard
the children attend This decision will
have tendency to dampen the enthu-
siasm of the people, but they are not
the ones to give up, and we are salts
fed they will have a good school all
the same and no doubt they will show
the state superintendent wherein his
decision this year is unique and where
he made error. last year in basing his
decision On the enrolment of the cur
rent term, and maybe ne will give them
the money they should have had last
year under his this year opinion.
