Transportation charges are paid
by the whole State and it is taken
out of the school appropriation be-
fore they are distributed.
When a district school is closed,
the State Board of Education will
not transport children, when they
live within one mile of the school
with which it is consolidated.
The question was then asked about
the primary grade pupils who are
dismissed early, as to what care was
given them. Superintendent Robert
E. Shilling answered that in new
building a waiting room would be
used and care take of such pupils by
a teacher; at present this is the
practice in the Milford schools.
At this time Senator Harry Deputy
asked, that the members of each dis
trict express themselves as to con-
solidation of their school with Mil
ford, and if they were satisfied with
the present condition of their school.
The following reports were given:
