The following is an open lettM' from Supt. M. J. Bullock to Mr. 0. M. Watts in answer to his <|ii< stioas concerning Doe Pond No. (>">: Dear Mr. Watts: By referring to the books of tInformer County Superintendent of. Education and to tho.,o of the County Auditor, it will be found that Doe Pond School had really ceased to exist some time before I came into office. The only part which 1 had in this affair was to make a formal an nouncement to you of the fact. The following records arc copied from the hooks of the offices named above: The cash balance which was $180.35 July I, 1911 and decreased to $111.02 July 1, 1917, is not considered in these statements. For the school year 1911-12 the constitutional 3 mill tax amounted to $39.37, poll tax $10.00, dog tax $8.00, There was no school that year. In 1912-13 the school could not receive any money from the constitutional 3 mill tax for there had been no school the previous year yet the school was given credit for $20.00 from this fund. The poll tax was $7.00, dog tax $4.00. Two months' school was taught this year. In 1913-14 the school received $23.40 from the 3 mill tax, poll tax $7.00, dog tax $4.00. Probably one i u. v* i. ..I u % ographers a Are Urgenl tenographers and E eplace Yonng Men E / Needed by Govern $85.00 to $15( trained office-help of the natio: kkeepers, etc., appointed in the itary age are being called to the to fill their positions in Bank, C DON'T BE A BUS! terve your Country on the battle: HELPING UNCLE SAM WITH ' CHES IN FRANCE.

There must : have been 2 or 3 months' school as $105.00 was spent. In 1915-16 the 3 mill tax was $27.60, poll tax $7.00, dogs $3.00. No school was taught. In 1916-17 the only source of in X* 1.1. .. -11 A 1*1 i-urne wiis i rum mo pon iax wnicn amounted to $(>.00. The Auditor's books show that for the last four years the area of the district varies from 474 acres to 651 acres, while the property returned for taxation varies from $1,755 to $2,455. Under the law the school district must be not less than 9 square miles in area nor more than 49 square miles. Doe Pond School District con taincd about one square mile. I am in no way responsible for the size of ihis school district. As you know there was no local tax and there had been no school for two years previous to my coming into office. A pecial tax of 8 mills would have given the school only $19.50. These wore the conditions in which we found the school a year ago. so w could only notify your people to return property either in Johnson, Sidney or .Joyner Swamp School Districts. You state in your article that your school is 5 miles from anyhere. If this he true then the distance from the homes of children living around your school to one of the neighboring schools is as much less than H miles as the distance from their respective homes to your school. Certainly that distance would not prevent children from attendance upon noiorhhorinir schools. Up to July 1, 1917, you had no school for 2 years, you had no local tax, your total income for the previous year was only $0.00. The area was only one-ninth of the minimum area allowed by the constitution of the State. Two neighboring schools about 8 miles away had complied with the law which guaranteed them n seven-months' term with as many teachers as they needed. For these reasons the County County Board of Education took the action of which you were notified last year.
