ASK DISTRIBUTION
HIGH SCHOOL FUND
Ask Writ of Mandate Requiring
County Superintendent Quaw to
AppOrGiOn Funds.

Action started in the district court
last Friday, when Attornev Hubert
ID. Bath, representing the high schools
of Three Forks, Salesville, Manhattan
and Belgrade secured a temporary
writ of mandate retuInable January
Is, requiring County Superintendent
Lucille Quaw to make apportionment
of high school funds in Gallatin coun-
ty upon the same basis as has been
done in the past. This case is one of
greatest Importance to the high
schools of the entire state and will
be watched with keen interest, as it's
result will affect 208 schools in the
state. Attorney General Wellington
D. Rankin recently rendered an opin-
ion in the case of the Whitehall
schools to the effect that all state
funds apportioned for high school pur-
poses and all county funds for high
school purposes must go to the coun-
ty high school, except for pupils act
ually residents of the high school dis
/ tricts.
Should the ruling of the attorney
general stand, it will result in many
of the high schools, not only Of Gala
tin county, but throughout the state,
being forced to discontinue, thereby
depriving many students OF education
al facilities. The hearing upon the
temporary writ, which is to be held
on January 13, will be conducted by
other than Judge B. B. Law, as he Is
in Helena sitting as one Of the SUI
preme court commissioners. At the
hearing it will be determined whether
or not the mandate shall be made
permanent.
Upon the ruling of the attorney
general, a meeting was held by trus-
tees of the distract high schools Of the
county, it being decided to take legal
steps to secure the distribution Of
high school funds in the same manner
as has been followed in the past. Mr..
Hubert Bath was employed to handle
the case, the emergency making 1t
necessary that immediate action be
| taken. Should the court uphold the
opinion of the attorney general, it
will be a serious blow to the district
high schools of the state, many of
which will be compelled to close.
An emergency measure has been
drawn to be presented to the legisla-
ture to permit the high school funds
to be apportioned as has been the Gus
tom in the past. This measure has
been placed in the hands of Repre-
sentative Buell., who will endeavor to
