intention OF the code is 10 give every
country child the same educational sd-
vantages as the city child has. In TINS
connection Dr.. Cooper cited a hypo-

through college. All for nothing, sim

been paying taxes FOR 200 years, goes TO
= little school with one room and all
the pupils in one room. Now that boy
does not set the same chance as the
immigrant in New York, and the pur-
sose OF the code is to give him just as
