who IN turn after two years OF service
was succeeded by Mr.. James M. Full
ton. ]. Albert Kiedaisch was elected
president for the fifth year and @. r.
Mcfarland 10 now president with Mr..
Fulton as executive secretary. Some
OF the strong men OF the community
have served on the board OF directors,
and they and the officers have given
their time freely to its service. Since
the formation of the association

many lines Of advancement, among

proyided the grade to which the pupil
Belongs is found in the school in the

tie request Of H. r. Collins to make
the district west Of Rand park optional
With residents as to attendance in the
Garfield or Terrence districts; also
the requests Of several residents on
The south side Of the city to allow
their children to change from one

After considerable discussion in the
matter. and the fact that following
the request from residents west Of
Rand park. superintendent Aldrich
received requests from several fAmi-
Hes on the south side Of the city that
their children be allowed to make q

that it would estabush Q dangerous

Refuse All Requests.
In previous years there have been
practically no such requests for
changes, it was said. and it was felt
that the requests followed the agita-
ton Of the question two weeks ago.
1t was decided to refuse all requests.
The superintendent asked for in
structions from the board regarding
the kindergarten. The board has no
kindergarten rule as to whether
pupils outside Of q district could at
tend kindergarten in that district.
A resolution was introduced provid-
ing that parents could send their
children to kindergarten outside Of
the division in which they live, pro.
vided there was no kindergarten in
that division in which they live. This
resolution passed. as 1t was felt that
there would be no overcrowding of
the kindergartens. The kindergartens
are established In the Carey. Wells
and Lincoln districts.
It was decided to allow tho jani-

COUNTY LEVY IS MADE At 7
AND HALF MILLS; MONEY IS
INCLUDED FOR LIBRARIES

Following an expression from the
central library board to the effect
that it is perfectly willing to allow
the Milton board to manage it's own
building affairs provided no respon-
sihility would attach to them, the
county court this morning ended its
deadlock over the levy and signed the
order making the levy for the mex
year seven and a half mills.
This means that $4,000 win be
available for use in the construction
Of the central library building in this
city ana $1,000 to assist in putting up
the Milton building.
Today being the last day upon which
levy could be made. the library
board met last evening to take such
action as considered necessary to ad-
just the differences holding up the
levy. The members expressed them
selves as perfectly willing to delegate
authority 10 the Milton board in the
matter of supervising the construc.
ton of the branch building providing
the central board would not be held
accountable for any errors, defects or
irregularities. This decision was
communicated to Commissioner Cock
burn this morning and forthwith he
and Judge Marsh affixed their sigma.
lures to the official order.

Interpretation must be had by con

in reference to the contention that
the law is in contraventlon Of reli-

Nor does the fact that the law has
been little enforced require its null:-

Points of the decision are that the
law does not violate the fourteenth
amendment of the federal constitution
or the twentieth amendment to the
state constitution.
