the popular Imagination owing to
its position as the door through
which the Germans hoped to break

great road to the north by which the
Germans must retreat.
The outcome of this great battle
has at the date of writing not been
finally determined. All that the
correspondent of the Associated
Press. who has followed the opera
tions closely, can affirm is that the
French, after their first capture OF
the famous road with all its observa-
tories as result of their offensive
begun on April 16. have been able
to hold all their gains, to inflict al
most unbelievable losses on the pick

COUNTY H|GA SCHOOL
BOARD ALLOTS FUNDS

The county high school board, af-
ter lying dormant for the past four
years held a meeting in the office
of County Judge Gillette Thursday
morning and entered into contracts
with all the school districts main
tanning standard or accredited high
schools. whereby the districts will
in the future receive from the coun-
ty high school fund an apportion-
ment of SIS each per year for the
first 90 pupils s65 for the next 20
pupils, and s12.50 each for addi-
tional pupils. the apportionment to
be based on the average daily at
tendance. as required by law.
Up to the present time District No.
z. in which Grants Pass is situated,
has operated under contract made
four years ago. which gave Grants
Pass $50, $50 and $3.50 on enroll
ment. and gave the other high
schools of the county. having no con-
tract, $40, $40 and $12.50 on daily
average attendance. Based on the
old contract price and complying
with requirements of average atten-
dance the Grants Pass district would
fall about 5000 below the amount
heretofore received. The new con-
tract gives the Grants Pass district
the same amount of money but is
based on the average daily atten-
dance instead of enrolment The
smaller high schools under this con
tract are placed on an equal and
just footing with Grants Pass.
The county high school board is
composed of the county judge and
two commissioners. county treasur-
er. and county school superinten-
dent. The county high school fund
is raised by general taxation. each
district in the county paying its pro
rata. the districts in which high
schools are located making up the
deficit in their individual districts
by special school tax. There are
high schools located at Kerby. Mer-
lin, Hugo and Wolf Creek.
