meter of the pantomime production ,
"Evangeline , " ia a young mac of
much ability in both lines mentioned -
ed , and has had ample experience

ialsomining throughout , Under

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 ,
