superintendents, supervisors, teachers, janitors and
assistants and to fix their compensation. 4. To
lease and build schoolhouses, and to buy and lease
lands for school purposes, and to furnish the school-
houses with proper furniture, light, fuel, apparatus,
etc, and to sell and convey such lands and other
property belonging to the district as may not in
their judgment be required for school purposes.
5. To prepare and annual budget and levy taxes.
6. • To consolidate schools. 7. To determine the
boundaries of the territory to be served by each
school in the district. (These are the major duties
of the board and many others are enumerated.)
Isn’t this a huge and responsible work to be
performed by five people with no comjiensation ?

they serve free gratis. Mum on their salary.

county has that power) but the law doesn’t
Say that anything recommended need be adopted
by county board. Local committees may reject
a teacher with thirty days notice. The county
board will send us another, perhaps more unsatis

beginning of school term, we have no alternative,
but to keep her.

We recognize no power of ours in this, just de-
iception.
J
P345, Laws of 1921 says the office of county
superintendent is abolished when this act becomes
effective, but by reading the law, we find with one
minor exception her duties ase practically the same
as now. But she can obtain an increase in salary.
The county superintendent says one purpose of the
law is “ To equalize taxes,” but why should taxes
be equalized, shouldn’t all pay in proportion to our
benefits derived?
Voters, these are a few high points of the law.
We cannot print the entire text, but there is ab
solutely nothing elsewhere in this law that changes
the parts here presented.
