In the Sir Walter Hotel. BY J. C. BASKERVILL. Raleigh, June 3.—The State School Commission spent the entire day studying the new school law and try ing to work out a definite policy for the setting up of administrative dis tricts, in its meeting here yesterday. 'Substantial progress was made in ar riving at a basis for determining both the sizee of these districts and their boundaries, according to Leßoy-Mar tin, executive secretary of + he com mission. * Applications from morte than 60 cities and towns that want to be set up as separate administrative units, and thus be entitled to hold an elec tion as to whether or not they may levy supplemental taxes with which to augment the Statewide eight months school term or provide for a 'ninth month, were before the com mission. Many of these are asking that the limits of the administrative units be extended outside the city limits or beyond the former district lines, so that they may take in enough additional school population io be en titled to levy supplemental taxes. Un der the new law, a minimum school population of 1,000 school children is required of any area that desires to be set up as an administrative unit. But before the commission could act upon any of these applications it was necessary for it to arrive at some definite policy and to determine a uni form method of procedure so that it could treat all applications alike. W|hile no announcement was made of the policies arrived at it was inti mated .that material .progress had been made toward this goal. The commission also had before it •a list of most of the city and county superintendents in the State who have /been elected by the various city and county boards of education. Under the new school law the election of all these superintendents must be ap proved by the State School Commis sion. i PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON EXCEPT SUNDAY, Mattem, Alone, Is Last Sighted Over Newfoundland Moley’s Aide _ !
