struction of any and all pdpils of
the schools of a lower grade where
many children live within the le-
gal distance, i. e. three miles.
Van Dyke, Wilson,.Bibb, Beat-
tic, Theney, Downing and Sine
Springs have tins year fewer than
150 scholastics and therefore come
under county supervision, us to the
handling of funds, making contra-
cts, reports, etc., .required by'the
State and County Superintendent.
The board examined the regis-
ters of the various schools, and
also the suggestions of the teach-
ers, and have graded accordingly,
and by eonformah'r, to the State
Course of Study, it is thought that
nb mistake has been made, but the
board has authorized me to say
that they will gladly hear the com-
plaints of any trustees at a regular
meeting, which will be at Coman-
che on Tuesday after the 'second
Monday in-August. The privilege
given to some schools is for t ha.au r- .gross
rent year only. If you have mat-;
tors that you desire me, as acting
secretary, to present to the board,
please advise me. hut it will be
better for you to appear in person.
