ISSUES WARNING TO
SCHOOL TRUSTEES

r. II. Lorgfeld, county supsrin-
tendent of schools. is in receipt of a
letter from L. y. Hines, state super
intendent of the public instruction,
calling attention to the fact that
township trustees who cut school
terms short Of the legal minimum OF
12O days may be required to con-
tinue schools unless it can be clearly
shown that the township is unable
to pay the cost.
The letter, which was sent to all
county observation-disclosures. is the re-
suit of a number of cases recently
having been brought TO the notice of
the state board of education in
which township trustees have closed
schools after terms of, i'm some
cases. only 90 days, for the alleged
reason that there is no money TO
pay for the completion OF the legal
school term. In many instances. Mr..
Hines said this instance is brought
about because the trustees failed to
make an adequate levy for the sup
port and not because the townships
are unable to provide means for the
minimum school term as fixed by
statute
Mr.. Hines cites several statutes
which provide a variety of means By
which q deficient school fund may
be augmented. He shows that it is
illegal 10 discontinue school shors
Of 12O days so long as adequate
funds can be obtained under the
provision Of one or more of the
statutes which he enumerates and
also advises that a public school
teacher, having contracted 10 teach
for the school term at a certain
minimum daily wage. can collect her
salary for the minimum term of six
months even though the school has
been closed short OF that term, UNI
less, as stated before. il is clearly
shown that having taken advantage
of every possible revenue source the
trustee is still unable 10 provide the
necessary funds.
Attention is calNd by Mr.. Hines
20 the fact that already Indiana has
fallen TO 29th place among the As
states of the Union in point of
length OF school term.
