The school meeting held last Sat
urday to levy tax was well attend
ed. about fifty turning out. A false
report that a tax was to be levied to
build a gymnasium had gained head
way and brought interested parties.
The proposition had never gained
many supporters, for most everyone
seems to think times too hard to un-
dertake such a thing at present. The
vote to levy a small tax to cover both
current expenses and to aid in max
ing an annual reduction of the bond
ed Indebtedness was passed almost
unanimously. A measure providing
for transporting to Ashland high
school those students who complete
the tenth grade in the local school
met with approval by nearly every
one present. The provision made it
imperative that such student be a
resident of the local district at the
time of the preceding census. The
matter of requiring teachers to stay
in Talent was discussed, and all final
ly agreed to drop the matter for the
present year at least. All teachers
were present to hear the discussion.
The school is preparing a program
to be offered soon after Thanksgiv-
