Oattes and family spent Sunday Jack Frost teachers. I can't make out why people have to vote $1000 in direct tax when the school costs $85 less than nothing. He also admits they voted $12,000 for a high school building but forgot to tell how they expect to pay the principal or interest or whether the state will pay it or whether it will oome out of the dog tax. If they have enough dogs out there they can pay it out of the dog tax if it won't drive the dogs out of the town. All the high schools he mentioned were district high ae.bools except Westphalia, and as it made a two and one-half mill levy on town and township for the first year when they wont have a full complement of teachers, it don't bear out Doc's assertion that high schools can be run for less than nothing.

When Harris is over forty years old like a lot of the towns he mentions it may have substantial brick or stone business houses like older towns then it may have population, scholars and wealth to imitate older towns. We have a County Superintendent that lias a record of what high schools co3t. Why don't Doc's friends write to her for information and facts if they want facts?
