Where the Circus
Isn't a Circus

New York, April 10. Manhattan is
no place to foster romantic illusions
bred by childhood in the smaller
towns of America.
In winter one watches the boys
and girls using the pathetic. puny
hills of Central Park for sled rides
and recalls this seemingly endless
hIllsides Of his home town.
Or one watches the strange street
games forced upon New York's
youngsters, and recalls the sprawlng
comfort of the corner lot in the days
OF choosing Sides"
But. 1t seems to me. that Of all
Manhattan's yearly round of events
none is so wistful and devastating to
old dreams as the arrival Of the
circus.
The circus doesn't "comc" to New
York. as to any other place. It
moves in. 1t is as lcisurely process
as occupying a new flat. Madison
Square Garden, which has held the
circuses generation upon generation,
is efficiently put in readiness for the
'event." No tents, no song of mallets
on wooden picks, in the early dawn.
no thrilling clamor of voices, no rush
and buster, no thrill of arching can
vas-just huge building that stands
there tomorrow.
The circus ~comes i'm upon tracks

which the circus moves, this year, is

Supreme Court to
Decide Legality of
Charging Tuition

Whether or not school district
can rightfully collect tuition from
students living in another district is
the question at stake in the case of
d. l. Todd VS.. the Williston Board
Of education and J. N. Urncss, sup
crintendent Of Williston schools, APP
pealcd to the supreme court from the
district court Of Williams county.
Todd, who lives in the Medicine
Lodge school district. sent two sons
to the high school at Williston. There
was no high school in their home
district. The school board attempted
to collect $40 each as tuition on the
ground that the school was over
crowded and it was necessary to col
1cct tuition from pupils from other
than the Williston district in order
to provide additional facilities and
teachers. The lower court agreed
with the contention Of the school
authorities and upheld their right
to make the charge.
The plaintiff contends that the
Williston district collects $54 a year
for each boy under the state law and
that the state, under the constitu-
ton. is required to furnish ade-
quate schooling facilities. He asked
an injunction to prevent the Willis
ton school authorities from barring
his boys from the high school.
Although Todd was defeated in tho
lower court the record shows that
his sons still are attending high
school pending the outcome Of the
appeal to the supreme court.

From it's organization in 1917 until
