VALLENTGOED Route 11 Seattle. Wash. The annual convention of the Marlon county school officers was held yesterday- in tlie jpounty cort house.- About 30 districts In the county were, represented. The meeting was i presided over by President Eritt AFpinwall, of Wa conda district. J. S. Coomler, of Korth HowellJ was elected presi-; The main thing discussed? was ae matter of free transportation if , children to - their respective chocl3. At present the law per-j aift the z districts : to - rote .extra "axes to proTii this expense but t Is rery restrictive in f that if transportation; la , undertaken It must include all children who lire more than one mile . from the school. On' account of the -large aumbei of children who are widely iscattered the cost is prohibitive. -" Yesterday's meeting authorized a committee, to' draft an amend ment to the law and. present it at he next session t of the tate legis laure. This amendment would provide that the districts could use their discretion : In selecting the children ; to be carried . to school. ! 1 -' . - Under . this arrangement it would be possible to provide trans portation for afew of the children who are now kept from attending school by reason ofthe long dis tance they have to go and not be f6rced to pick up others who are more accessible: to the school. In other words. It would be possible to give this help to those who are in absolute need of it without be ing forced- to extend it to others who live more han a mile from the school but who do not have to re ceive this help. ; .
