Must Transport Children to School.


The opening of the rural schools
of the state has centered attention
on a new law passed at the last SEES
sion of the legislature which great
ly extends the scope of the old law
providing pay for the transporta-
ton of children to school. SO i'm
portant is this matter considered by
the superintendent of schools that
a special statement on the subject
has just been issued.
State aid has been increased, "
says the statement. "Transporta
ton must be provided for at least
six months, and no district will be
permitted to draw aid for the trans,
portation of children unless each
child for whom aid is demanded at
tends school while being transport
ed regularly for at least five months.
The state will pay ten cents day
toward the transporting of children
that are conveyed more than two
and less than three miles; fifteen
cents a day for children transported
more than three and less than four
miles; and twenty-five cents a day
for children transported more than
tour miles.
An important provision is to
effect that in the case of children
who live more than four miles from
any school, the school board of the
district may in its discretion, in lieu
of transportation, board the child
rem under certain conditions and
restrictions near the school. The
state will pay aid for such children
as though they were transported
I'm case the electors of school
district refuse to vote to instruct
the board to transport children liv-
ing more than two miles from school
the statutes provides that the par
ents or guardians of such children
may transport them to school, and
that the district must pay the par
ent twenty cents a day for each
such child transported to school,
provided the transportation was
furnished and the child attended
while being transported for at least
FIVE months. The state will REIN
burse the district ten cents for each
child transported. This is an inn
portant feature. Heretofore the
parent, no matter how far he might
live from the school, could not Sc
cure transportation unless the cleo
tors of the district voted in favor of
furnishing it. Under this law, if
the electors are opposed to trans
portation, the parent can transport
his children and the district must
pay the amount fixed by statute
for each child"

at Buckhannon, West Virginia,
August 4th 18th, 1917. This will

Institute has proved one Of the
most helpful and most popular Of
gatherings for young men and
women, that has yet been conceived.
1t is more than a convention 1t

ional, inspirational, and recreational
all in one. Dr.. Sheridan in his
unique way of describing things
says, The Epworth League Institute
is a College, a Camp Meeting, and
a Circus ali at once" ~
For very small sum a fine vaca-

young man or woman. Seven or
eight days spent on the beautiful
College Campus at Buckhannon, is
in itself,rery inviting. The College
authorities have thrown open their
buildings and grounds to the Iffsti-
tute,s so that any and all athletic
tunts that the boys and girls may

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The
realization that the proposed es-

dangerous continues to stir up
opposition to it in both Houses of
Congress.
This is particularly true of the
Senate. The bill cannot possibly
pass that body in its present form.
Even it's supporters, who are led
by Senator Overrnan, chairman Of
the Senate judiciary Committee,
admits that should a reasonable
substitute be offered it would be
