ACCEPT NEW CODE

All schools in the rural county, ex-
cept that at Elsmere, have been open
ed, according to County Superintendent
Jump. The reason for the Elsmere
school not being opened is said TO be
due to the opposition OF the people OF
that district TO the provisions OF the
new school code It is said that a pri-
vate school VIII be operated in that
district. but a public meeting has been
called for tomorrow night at which
time IL is hoped by the school authori-
ties 10 settle all apparent difficulties
over the operation Of the school under
the provisions OF the new code.
Under the new, law all school supplies
must be secured through the office of
the county superintendent. About 80
per cent. OF the coal ordered for the
public schools in the county has been
delivered and about - per cent. Of the
amount needed contracted for. In every
case, Mr.. Jump said this morning. the
award for the furnishing OF fuel has
been made 10 the lowest bidder. al
though in some cases where the bid
ders had refused TO sign the contract
their bids had Of necessity been thrown
out. In each school the teacher I'm
charge has been authorized TO receipt
FOR the delivery OF the coal as It is de-
livered, which will be ample evidence
OF its delivery.
