Frequently the patrons complain that this is a perversi-on of the public school Jaw, and that the trustees. have no right to impose this fee, as a public school should he free' 111 fact as well as name. State Superintendent of Education Mayfield received a letter from the Superintendent of tin1 Taurens Graded School, in which it is stated that some of the j>>i irons of the school have refused ro pay this incidental fee. Mr. Mayfield has submitted the matter to Attorney General Ear ner wiio lias expressed n unset r as of the opinion that public schools have no right to impose incidental fees. The letter from Mr. llarber reads as follows: Dear Sir: Your reference to this office of tho letter of >r. P. Wntkins,superintendent of the 1.aureus Graded School, hft^ niv attention.

Oomtiiiiu'IiI ICiiili'oails. The election to settle the long and bitterly discussed iiuestion of the purchase ot the five main railroad lines of Switzerland by the Government was/held recently and by evening the general re suit was known in every Kepilb lie. The news was given to tho people by the Government absolutely free of charge, which demonstrates the fact that Switzer | land has one ol the finest, tele ' phone systems in the workl. It is owned by the Government and 'is operated in the interest of ell the people. The total number of votes ! east was 560,893, each citizen above the age of 21 having the J right of suffrage. Of this number ui votes, 534.3S2 wore in favor of and 170,511 against the purchase, making a majority in favor of Government ownership of 207,871. The roads to be purchased are as follows : .Jura Sinplon, Swiss Northeast, Swiss Central, United Swiss, and Gotthard. On the 0th of December, 1 SOI, the quoauou oi the purchase ol lUo Swiss Central Railroad wan voted upon, and vole cast was 420.500. The number in favor of tho pur chaso was 1 .*>0,500, and tho number opposed was 200.000 ; the majority against the purchase being 160,500. Thus it will he seen that there has been, since 1801 a great change in the minds of the people of Switzerland con cerning the Government owner ship of railroads, and this change has been brought about by a thorough discussion of the sub ject in the press and on the plat form. The amounts estimated as being tho cost of const ruction and i equipment of the live inein lines are as follows: .Jura .Simplon. ! $.->1,494,000; Swiss Northeast. $ I 1,250.000 ; Swiss Central, $28.gOtqooo ; I'nited Swiss, $15,255,000 ; < iol thard .y 18,79-1,000 ; total, $ 100,008.< i00. The tola! length is 1,700 miles, and the amount that the Government will have to pay lor these roads is estimated at about $200,(too. 000. The total receipts in 1897 were $20,722,000.
