mittee appointed for that purpose.
TO explain to the patrons OF the
schools in the various districts that
The Board was powerless to remedy
the condition created by the Leg
islature. The Legislature, he ex-
planned. had allowed in its budget
only $50 a year. per room, for
janitor service In the rural
schools. Attention was called to sec
ton 64 OF the new school law. pro
vided that II any Board should ex-
ceed amount OF its budget or ths
amount appropriated for items IL

Mr. souder said the State Boarc

As the Legislature does not con-

he done to remedy the situation In
the meantime unless a special ses-
sion Is called. Mr.. Souder said, ex-
cept through the cooperation and
assistance OF the trustees OF the

Mr.. souder said ne felt that tho
trustees or the patrons OF the
schools would devise some means,
possibly by private subscription.
Another phase Of the situation Is
the compulsory school attendance

provides that every parent, guar
