ANSWERS ABOUT
SCHOOL MATTERS
Questions Were Asked in Article
Recently Published
<n the Herald.
. My attention was called to an article
in the Herald under date of October
20. In this article the editor asks
several questions pertaining to local
school matters which I think should
be answered in order t^at ^he citizens
of School District .,^0.^19 may see
the situation in its true light.
The Editor asked as to the number
of pupils attending the Burroughs
school from outside the district, apparently
having the impression that
crowded conditions are due to this
Cause This. Vtnwovpr iu nnf on I
Some three weeks ago I took a census
of the entire school and found that
thirty-foui pupils from outside the
district were enrolled in the first seven
grades, which are taught by nine
tenchers. Sis outside pupils were the
greatest number in any one room.
From this statement it is obvious that
no extvn com is attached to the taxpayers
ol this district for permitting
a limited number of pupils to come
from other districts. I might say
that the number of outside pupils is
limited by the enrollment of a grade.
As you are doubtless aware, the pupils
under one teacher are limited by state
laws to fifty, so that when the enrollment
passes forty, no outside pupils
are allowed to enter that particular
grade. At this time practically every
room is clof-ed to outside pupils. I
have already denied entrance to at
least twenty-five non-resident pupils.
In the high school department there
are twenty-two students from other
districts, a much higher percentage
than in the grammar grades. This
of course, i? due to the limited number
of adecj'.vte schools in the county.
This condition o.Ims throughout *he
state i ml is eneouiaged by state laws
to the extent that the state pays this
school and all others ir3 per month
per pupil. I ast year Mr. Swearinger
paid this district approximately $400
t<>1 the high school pupns that cuing
to i a from other districts.
As to the question of cost to an
outside pupil 1 will say th.it it is the
same as foi .a pupil residing* within
.the district. Since I have explained
that the slate pays us well for high
school pupils, is it not good business

.V. ..in there ir another viewpoint
tht I tViink might he well taken into
consideration. Ours is the only ade
quale school in this section of the
county. I). es it not behoove us to

MAD SICKM-ISS
It was remarkab'e la t week that
in several casef. called for trial it was
c'aimed by the do fen: bats that they
were at home sick in bed and not able
to attend trial; at least this was the
excuse made by attorneys. It is nothing1
unusual for a defendant in the
crimiiv.il court to cflaim sickness as an
excuse; but it is unusual in civil cases
like those tried last week.
