CHANGES IN THE
school mi.
-; The-: legislature, .of 1913 made
some changes in tlie school law. It
has not been published yet; but ' a
soon as it iscL shall be glad to .mail
any one a copy ; who desires it.
I shall give the principal changes
as I understand them. -
" SIX MONTHS SCHOOL, v "
The $125,000 which has here
tofore been distribured per. capita
and the $100,000 which has been
,- X'
distributed among the weak coun
ties to make four months has been
combined and $25,000 added mak
ing $250,000 which under the new
law will be apportioned per capita
to all the counties of the state. - We
snail likely receive about $1031.00
from this fund.
.Before any county can ask for
any apportionment fronr the state
it must provide a four months
school term or as near it as a levy
of fifteen cents on the hundred 'dol
lars valuation of property and forty
five cents on each poll will give.
The full levy wUL not give four!
monthsin' this county so 'part of
the $1031.00 will have to be used
to make iL It will take at , least
$2625.00 for one month and unless
we get something like. $5250.00
from the Equalizing Fund we shall
not be able to run : six months. I
hartUy think it lively that we can
have six months this year but I
think it will be more than four.
The legislature passed a compul
sory attendance law requiring all
children from eight to fourteen
years to attend school continuously
unless such child shall live two and
one-half miles or more by the near
est traveled route from -the school
house; or if any child's physical or
mental condition, as attested by
any legal physician, is such -that
renders, his attendance impossible,
-he is excused. And in cases of ex
treme poverty if it can be proven
that the parent cannot provide the
necessary clothing the pupil may
be excused.
The penalty for violating the
compulsory attendsnce law is not
less than 5 nor more than $25 and
upon failure or refusal to pay such
fine the pareht or guardian ;so con
victed shall be imprisoned jin the
county jail not exceeding 30 days.
APPOINTMENT OF SCHOOL
- COMMITTEE
The county board of education
this year is to appoint one commit-
...
teeman for three years, one for two
years and one for one year and
each year, thereafter to appoint
only one committeeman as the va
cancies occur. This leaves two ex
perienced committeemen -on the
board all the time. ' x
ELECTION OF; TEACHERS :
.The only other material change
of which I know is that hereafter
teachers must file their applications
for schools with the county super
intendent and that the county sup-'
erintendent will . meet 4 with! the
school committee at the time they
employ teachers and that the elec
tion of -; any teacher is . not valid
without the approval of the county
superintendent "The "teachers will
apply to the ; ajmniitteej as they
have always done and tiiotify the
couny' ysurerinterideht of such ap
plication. , . ' '., ., - s
