FAIRNESS TO HIGH SCHOOLS
Supt. Stacey Tells Why Dickinson Il

Editor Reflector: Yesterdays Re

bfll before the legislature providing
for the return Of the money paid by
city and district high schools toward
the support Of the county high
school. Possibly something more on
the same subject might be Of Inter

The bin mentioned above contains
a provision raising the tax limit for
county high schools fifty per cent.
intense irritation that has grown
up around the county high school
situation, the double tax without
benefit, and really enlarges the re-
sources OF the county high school by
the Increase of the limit of the tax.
Under it's operation every county
high school In the state will be able
to raise more money than before.
But the bin still fails to reach the
fatal weakness OF the county high
school system. 1t makes no provis-
ion for paying the tuition Of the
rural student who cannot attend the
county high school. Distance ana
location prevent his attending that
school. He enters the city or district
high school nearest his home ana
pays tuition. There are thousands
OF students doing this in the ten
populous county high school counties
in the central and eastern part OF the
state. There are also thousands OF
children who remain out OF high
school because OF this condition.
Only in county high schools coun-
ties It IL possible for any high school
student to be required to pay tuition
In Kansas. In all other counties all
high schools are free for any student
in the county, by reason OF the
Barnes law and the general county
tuition law. Until this defect In
he county high school system is cor
.ected. no one can justly say that
enough has been done
Two suggestions have been made.
One is to pay this tuition out Of the I
county high school funds. and the

commissioners. The last suggestion q
