The question of the high school levy did not prove to be very pop ular in some of the school districts in this count ? Monday. In the King district southeast of town , wo are informed that there was bat ono vote east In favor of the levy. A number with whom we have con versed wore under the impression that the graded schools would re ceive the benefit without having to bear any part of the tax. In part they wore mistaken. The benefit would be derived from the pupils of the various districts who availed themselves of the free tuition , it would afford them. The high school district is exempt from the special tax for the simple reason that they are already taxed to the full extent of the law to maintain the high school for the pupils of their respective school districts in addition to the expense of maintaining - ing scchools for the primary and intermediate branches the same as the country schools. Had these high schools been required to pay the two mills additional for the high school purposes it would have been unjust. The law contemplat ed free tuition to all pupils of the county who desire to acquire higher education than the ungraded schools can furnish. In districts whore the high schools are located they have provisions for their pupils and the two-mill levy on the un graded schools was calculated to provide for the pupils of ehose dis tricts by creating a fund to pay their tuition where they should choose to attend. If the levy lian been defeated the greatest sufferers will be the pupils of the country schools who will now have to pay their own tuition or bo deprived of a high school education , Mrs. Frank John and children .ire visitingwitk relatives at Scward , E.
