Public Education.

The laws regarding public education
should be modified with regard to trans
portation and the restoration of the rur-
al school, Our farmers are entitled to
have adequate school facilities provided
for their children, and to have the school
house, wherever possible, so located as to
become the center of the varied interests
of the community.
The report of the state board of educa-
tion will show that during the past year
$20O,20027 was paid for transportation.
OF this amount the state paid $90,477.2l.
Under proper arrangement q large pro-
portion Of this sum would have been
available for the repair and building of
schoolhouses and for the employment Of
properly qualified teachers. The law
should be so amended as to make trans
portation optional with the school direc-
tors, subject to proper methods OF appeal.
