BUS??S
There has been some ques
tion about bus routes this
year, -"ith changes in
drivers ner routes riare
hocessary. The state
rules are that a child
should walk to school if
he lives within one and
one half miles of the
school, and busses are to
be routed to get within
one mile of children who
live more than one and one-
half miles from school.
The present school at
tendance law states that
children must attend
school until they have
reached their sixteenth
birthday. M. W. Weaver
