GAIN IN SCHOOL BOARD VOTE

Farmers will have larger represen-
tation on joint school boards under a
new law, l. M. Wright secretary of
the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, said.
The act changed the existing law
relating to joint shool districts which
include city or village that maintain
high school. The provisions for sci.
lection of members on the school
boards was amended to require each
town or part of town and each ward
to have one member on the board be-
fore any such division may have a sec
ond member. This will give every di
vision within the district representa-
ton, before the representation of any
certain division can be increased, it
was explained.
ION account of the larger voting
power in the village and cities,7 Mr..
Wright said, 'the farmers often re-
ceive very limited representation on
these school boards. This was the rea,
son for the legislature making the
change in the law
