not receive publicity during the SEES

law exempting districts maintaining
county high schools from payment OF

districts much advantage as 1t makes

The law which repeats all conflicting
statutes reads:
"Sec. THAT tuition shall be
free in all high schools to pYils re-
siding in the county where high
schools are located: Provided that
such pupils shall present to the high
school authorities an entrance certi-
ficate signed by the county superin-
tendent Of public instruction certify
ing that scuh pupil has completed
the course Of study prescribed by the
state board Of education for the pu-

pass such examination as the high

provided further that whenever II
community is remote from or is not
convenient Of access to high school

a sufficient number Of pupils Of high
school advancement In such COM
munity to organize and maintain an
other high school, the board Of coun-
