The Other Side of the 'New Code"
Mr.. Editor:-Please allow me a lit
tie space in your paper to present to
the public a few facts relative to the
new school code"
Last Wednesday evening I attended
the meeting held at Lincoln for the
purpose OF discussing the new School
Code. The meeting was addressed by
Mr. DUPONT, DR.. Cooper and Daniel J.
Layton OF Georgetown. l think there
were five hundred persons present,
and after the speakers had finished
addressing the meeting the chairman
said, "All that are in favor of the new
school code please raise their hands"
Five hands went up. The chairman
then said, "All those opposed to it
raise their hands" All in the house
as far as l could see, raised their
hands, except the five who were in
favor of the code. The above demon
strates that the new code is very un-
popular in Lincoln and vicinity.
asked the chairman for permission to
speak-he granted ii. DIR. Cooper.
are you an advocate of the new school
code y DR.. Cooper was either too
thoughtful to be "cornered" or had
been converted by Mr.. LaytOns mas
terly speech, and which of the two
l cannot tell. He answered in the
negative. Whether DR.. Cooper was
thoroughly converted or not. 1 cannot
tell, but l do know that after one
grand sentence uttered by Mr.. Layton
he clapped his hands joyOusly and
seemed to agree with what the speak
er had said "Dr. Cooper, do you be-
lieYe it is right for the districts that
have built their schOolhOuses and have
paid for them and then to be COM :
PEELED by the new code to help pay the :
1ebts remaining on the schoolhouses
IN other districts?" DR.. Cooper ac- :
1nOwledged in the presence of five
hundred persons that it was wrong.
DR.. Cooper, did you cite a hypotheti- !:
,al case somewhere stating that the 5
boy who came in New York Z

/ never said it," was his reply. Or. q
'ooper, you either said it or the edi- y

eply. He further stated "You need z
ot believe all that editors say"
