BRINGS suit
FOR TUITION

The case of the City of Baraboo
against the Town of Merrimack and
L. c. Halbman for the tuition of Ralph
Halbman the minor son Of Mr.. Halb-
man was heard in the court Of JUS
tice H. L. Halsted.
The law provides that all pupils re-
siding in communities that do not
maintain an accredited high school
Eay attend some other school and
the town or village in which the pupil
resides must pay the tuition for such
pupil at the rate of two dollars per
week. Ralph Halbman attended the
Barabco High school 81 weeks and the
city of Baraboo is bringing suit for
$74.OO.
The only question is as to who owes
the money. The town of Merrimack
contends that there was during this
time in question regular accredited
high school in said place, and that
the pupil could have attended said
school and therefore that it is not
liable for the amount. Mr. Halbman
CloiiAS IAdI HO haCS applASdIiOh W
the principal Mr.. Weinke and was in
formed that the 18th grade, or the last
year of the high school course was
not to be taught during that year, also
that it is the practice of the school
authorities to alternate the 18th and
18th grades in the Merrimack school
teaching one grade only each year and
the other the following year.
The three sided law suit has been
adjournd to May 9th at which time
many Merrimack people will probab-
ly be present TO see what the real
status of their school is.
