There is no law authorizing an

William Stacey, county attorney, de-
clared this morning in answer to a
published statement that he had rec
commended to the board of county
commissioners that they refuse to
allow funds for the maintainence of
such an office in this county.
Mr.. Stacey said: 'In reference to
statement in yesterdays issue of

Superintendent Allen, that he had
no truant officer for the reason that
the board of county commissioners

fused to make an appropriation for

there is no law authorizing an ap-
preparation for such purpose.
Il have strictly followed the rule
Of opposing the expenditure of pub
lie money where there is no author
ity OF law for it, no matter how mer-
itorous the object might be. Per
sonally, / am strongly in favor of
enforcing the compulsory school law

have prosecuted every person guii-
ty of the violation of that act that

The law at present provides that

point a truant officer for each dis
trict, whose service shall be paid

Until the legislature clearly pro-
vides for an additional county officer

taxpayers, | am opposed to the ille-
gal creation of such an office by

nant or to organize new associa-

either revamp the existing frame

launched, he said
"Many farmers are just beginning
to realize the value of higher edu.

quently, they are demanding better
schools. The recent world war was
very forceful in bringing about this
realization.
"The enrolment of students from
the rural districts in the high schools
of the county has materially incress
ed since the close of the war. Since
this practice entails a heavy expense
the parents of these students are
demanding better schools where more
subjects can be taught The atti
