dance in Brady Buckner's hall at Kern

There was a meeting Of the directors
of the Kernville school district on Jan
11th. 1t was decided to continue the
school three miles from Kernville, for
two pupils, and to allow five other
children in Kernville to remain without
a school. The parents OF these child
rem were invited 10 move Closer to the
school! There IS a school about q.
mile from Kernville that is said to
be over crowded. 1t is admitted, how
ever, that this school could be equipped
to take care of the five extra pupils,
and would do SO If the Kernville Dis
.riot would pay this expense and tut
tion. This the hernyiile directors
persistently deny, as they have also
refused to transport the children to
their own scnooi. Ihe coSt OF equip
ment and tuition would be a very small
matter. The cost Of transportation,
either to the Kernville district school
or to the other districts school up
the river (Which is not crowaed) would
not exceed fifty dollars month: and
either of the teachers would be glad
to have these pupils. If the Kernville
district cannot afford to teach them,
then neither can 1T afford to pay a
teacher for two children. Come out of
it, Kernvil.e. If there's any private
feud between the districts, lets fight
it in the open, like men. This shoot
ing in the dark and hitting children is
bad business. Lets send the young
sters to school,
