the same basis.
Such is the rule announced by the
State Board of Education yesterday
bringing to an end source Of frlc-
1tion that has existed between city
school authorities and county school
authorities for years past. The matter
has been discussed privately with
the State superintendent, brought on
to the floor in assemblies of teachers
and school authorities, and has CIV
en- rise at times to serious disagree
ment.
In almost every county in the
State there are one or more spec
tally chartered schools, having eight
or nine months school term, with the
territory of their districts fixed by
law. On the fringe Of such districts
are families with children who live
too far from country schools to at
tend them. City schools have con-
tended that they ought to pay tuition
when they attend the city school.
Under the regulation established,
the county will pay to the city school
tuition charges for the constitutional
six months, term. For the remainder
OF the term the parents of such chill
dren will pay tuition in like amount
into the treasury of the specially
chartered school. The text of the reg
ulations issued yesterday follows: >
0f
cation and the boards of trustees
of the special chartered schools
should cooperate in providing six
months school term for all the chill
dren, as required by, the Constitu-
tion.
s'2. That the boards Of trustees of
the special chartered schools should
admit pupils living outside the boun-
daries of their districts only upon
written order from the county board
of education.
"3. That the county boards of
education should give an order for
the admission to the city schools of
children from rural territory only
in cases where the children affected
live nearer a school within the city
district than any school outside the
city district offering instructions in
the required grade, or where, on
account of the location of roads or
natural barriers, it is clear that the
convenience of such children would
be served thereby.
"a. That to the parents of chill
dren who are admitted to the city
schools, as provided in the foregoing
recommendations, no tuition charge
shall be made by. the city school
board for the six months school term
but that the county board of educa-
ton shall pay to the board of trus-
tees of the special chartered school
tuition for such children for the six
months term. The amount of such
tuition shall. be determined in the
following manner: The per capita
cost of maintaining the city schools
for the previous year shall be ascer-
tanned by dividing the sum of the
amount spent for salaries and all op-
Grating expenses and the proceeds
from bond taxes for building and
equipment, by the average daily at
tendance of pupils as shown on the
official reports of the treasurer and
of the special charter
ed school. On the basis of this per
capita cost for the year shall be de-
termined the per capita for the siv
months school term. From the six
months per capita cost thus derived,
shall be subtracted the per capita
county apportionment for teachers
salaries, building and incidentals.
The remainder shall be the tuition
charge which the county board of
education shall be required to pay
to the city school on or before March
1st of the current year.
