Washington would have no more to say about the course of study or the teachers to be employed than would Linn, Palmer or any other school district.

It will maintain three couises of study, a regular high school course, a normal course and a business course.

The expense attached would more than pay the tax for the high school for a hundred years, for on the average quarter section it would not be more than 80 cents. This would raise $1,500, enough to maintain a good county high school that every body could be pruud of. Linn, Palmer, Barnes, Haddam, Hol-lenberg, and Mahaska can nover expect to qualify under the Barries law so as to get any of.the dividend on that. Greenleaf and Clifton might in a year more, but eveu then the money would be distributed according to the number of high school pupils in attendance and Washington would get the biggest share of the money and none of the high schools would be any better, practically, than they are now. Under the County High School law however, we would have one good free high school, combining a high-school, a normal school and a business college.
