The taxpayers of the district were called on to vote on a special school tax for the year of 141,000 and as the election Is usually a. matter of form, a do sen or so voters voting- In the affirmative for the tax, the result was entirely unex . pected. Opposed to the Introduction of ' domestic science, manual training; and ,. commercial courses In the local high school, a band of taxpayers quietly planned to vote the special tax down. - When the polls opened they were there In force and marching; In voted "No" solidly. -Friends of the measure at once took the alarm and then began two hours' ex citement. Automobiles, were called Into - play and voters were rushed to the polls. The women of the city played a prominent part in the final victory.
