Sec. 2773 has been amended as fol-
lows:
No contract shall be entered into
with any teacher to teach any school
in the school corporation, when the
average attendance in said school the
last preceding term therein, was less
than FIVE pupils, unless a showing is
made to the county superintendent
that the number Of children of school
age in said school district, has in
creased so that ten or more will be
enrolled in such school and will at
tend therein, in which case, or when
natural obstacles to transportation OF
pupils to another district or other
conditions make it clearly inadvisablt
that such schools be closed, the coun
ty superintendent may consent tt
maintaining school in said district
for the ensuing term. It shall be the
duty of the member of the schoo
| board residing in said district to make
the showing referred to herein or any
resident of said district may upor
his own motion make said showing
Every school shall be free OF tuitior
to all actual residents between thu
ages Of FIVE and twenty-one years
and each school regularly establish
ed shall continue for at least thirty
two weeks of five school days eacf
in each school year compencing th'
first day OF July. \
In case a school in any district b'
closed as herein provided, then th'
board of such school corporation
shall provide for the instruction o
the pupils in said district in another
school as conveniently as may be
and shall provide for the Transports
ton of such pupils to such othel
school when any one or more of sucf
pupils reside more than one and {
half miles from the school to which
they have been assigned, or shall al
low to the parent or guardian o.
such pupil or pupils reasonable
sum for transporting such child OF
children to such other school.
The school board Of the corporation
in which the school that is closed un
der the provisions Of this act is situat
ed shall pay to the secretary Of the

average cost of tuition and other ex.
penses in the school wherein such
children attend. No school shall bt
in session during the time of holding
a teachers institute except by writer
permission of the county superinten.
dent.
The law provides that all schools
with an average attendance of less
than five shall be closed unless it can
be shown that at least ten pupils will
attend the new term. The word av-
erage is important. A school may
have seven or eight pupils and still
fall below an average attendance OF
five If the pupils attend irregularly
Directors should insist on regular at
tendance of all pupils enrolled wheth-
er the school is large or small. An
other statute passed at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly and
which will be discussed later makes
