of Questions
Changes in. the school law
through enactments of the last
legislative session are partly re
sponsible for the many queries
County Superintendent Fulkerson
receiving on the annual school
elections and meetings to be held
Monday. Other questions are the
same ones she le called upon to
answer each year.
That all may be clear upon the
matter, she explains that:
A legal voter for the purpose of
election of clerk and director any
where is a person who has the
qualities entitling him or her to
vote in the state election and that
he or she must have resided In
the district 80 days. In second and
third class districts, for school
business other than, election of
clerk and directors', the voter
must he a taxpayer. But in third
class districts a' concession has
been made to the head of .a fam
ily .of children of school age, be
tween s and 21 years, which
makes the family head eligible to
vote for school business also.
Many of the rural districts are
holding their annual meeting at 8
dock Monday night, and in this
Instance the superintendent re
ports that none of the votes east
ean be counted until 9 o'clock.
