THE HIGH SCHOOL
Superintendent Faulkner, of the Oro
fino Ssnools, Gives Valuable In
formation On Maintenance.
In order to eqia.ize the burden
of taxation for tie maintenance ot
the high schools throughout the state
, among the districts sending students
to the centers maintaining such
schools, the last legislature made pro
vision giving lccal nigh scnook
boards the right to levy a tuition
for all non resident students In at
tendance equal to the cost per head
paid to maintain the high school in
the district In which the school is
located.
The maximum amount that may
be charged varies according to main
tenance in various pares of the
state. This amount is determined
in the case of ea:h high school by
the State Board of Education and
no school board is allowed to exceed
the maximum charge. The amount
finally charged not exceeding the
maximum set, is passed upon by the
local board, reported to the county
superintendent who transfers the
funds assessed from the outlying dis
tricts to the high school district. The
child himself is not required to pay
the amount personally but the dis
trict from which lie comes 1 b charged
with the amount. This relieves much
annoyance, equalizes the burden ot
taxation and makes u possible to
have one or more well equipped
high schools in each county at a
minimum cost, in the case of dis
trict 22 (Orofino) the state Board
of Education has allowed a maxi
mum charge to be made of $12.19
per month per child "for those com
ing from other listricts.
After giving cireful consideration
to the matter anil desirous of being
perfectly fair to all concerned, the
board has ordered a tuition fee ot
ten dollars per month per child
for the present year, and has re
ported the same to the county su
perintendent.
;b
n
QrangevlUe, which Because of Its
size, is perhaps able to maintain a
high school at it smaller expense
than Orofino. However, a ten dol
lar fee per montli per child tultfcm
fee has been ordered by the board
there. To th county as ■ want«, it
is far better to maintain fewer high
schools and have them up to stand
ard In Instruction and equipment.
The expense for so doing is much
less. Orofino being the school cen
ter for a large territory, were there
more housing accomodations, ths
high school attendance eould be con
siderably Increased.
In this connection it may be
stated that the Educational Direc
tory for Idaho Issued by the De
(
partment of Education so rar does
not contain the "coBt per child" per|
year for the maintenance of the
high schools. However for Washing-'
ton the High School directory con-1
tains such information. Following

OBITUARY
Mary Elizabeth Cordell was born
In Wilkes County, No. Carolina, Feb.
24, 1858, and died suddenly on Sept.
28, 1921, the cause of death being
heart failure. In her youth she
united with the Baptist church and
lived a consistent Christian life to
the end. Miss Cordell was also for
years an active member of the W.
C. T. U.
In 1902 she heeded the call to
come west and cast her lot and for
tune with this country. Here she
established herself in business as a
dress maker. In this work she ex
celled. For a number of years Miss
Cordell was thus engaged in Oro
fino where she made many warm
friends, who will greatly miss her
because of her fine qualities ot
heart. Those who knew her best
were conscious of no blemish in her
life. She was every whit a woman.
The reat and outstanding ambition
of her life was to do all the good
she could in this world. It was be
cause of this trait in her character
that she aligned herself wherever
she went with religious and charit
able organizations. Her work in the
W. C. T. U. will long be remem
bered as an expression of her noble
life.
such tires are the salt of the
earth and they merit the Savior's
"Well done good and faithful ser
vant."
She has entered into the
Joys of her Lord. Heaven will be no
strange place to her. for her life
was a foretaste of heaven on earth.

AN EXPLANATION.
In last week's issue of the Re
publican, we published a report oi
the condition of the Fidelity State
Bank, furnished by O. H. Holmberg,
The article was handled as a news
item and on account of its news
valued was placed on the front pH v>
of the paper and to give It the pro
per display a slug head was written
In the office and substituted for the
one on the article when handed in.
This was done to conform with the
style of the make up and for no
other purpose.
Mr. Holmberg Is entitled to ail
the support possible in closing up
the affairs of the bank and the
Republican regrets exceedingly that
the substitute head was placed over
the article.
This matter has been
reterrded to the State Finance De
partment and the error explained.

SCHOOL TAXES IN IDAHO ABE
LESS THAN IN WASHINGTON
The attention of the reader is cal
led to the school taxation article ap
pearing elsewhere in this issue,
by Superintendent Faulkner.
Some persons in Idaho may think
taxation for school purposes is high.
As compared with Washington the
cost is much lower. It is freely pre
dicted that because of the high
standard now set for teachers in
j credited high schools in Idaho the
costs of school operation will be in
creased next year.
The mqre preparation demanded
on the part of the state the greater

Fast and Interesting Match—
Higgins, Moscow, Referee.
The wrestling match last Saturday
night at the Rex Theatre between
J. W. McTarnahan and J. R. Craw
ford was the real sporting event ot
Orofino.
Dr. Higgins of Moscow,
refereed the match and his know
ledge of the game Insured absolute
fair play and compelled the con
testants to toe the mark. It was
one of the cleanest exhibitions ot
manly strength and wrestling science
ever seen In Orofino. McTarnahan
proved himself to be a skllirul
grappler and a clean sport Craw
ford's reputation as an expert on the
mat needs no commendation, and he
has great pruise for McTarnahan.
Of 300 professional matches partici
pated in by Crawford, he advises
that McTarnahan is one of the best
for his weight of any of his oppo
nents. Crawford secured two fails
in one hour of strenuous work,
which was appreciated by an in
tensely interested audience that al
most filled the theater, there being
about 30 women spectators.
The first fall was won by an arm
lock and body hold in 25 minutes.
The second fall was secured in 35
i minutes with a crotch and halt Nel
son. The last hold is one used suc
cessfully by Frank Ootch, of whom
Crawford was a student in the
wrestling game.
Crawford meets Schneidau Satur
day night, October 8, in the Rex
Theatre, Schneidau agreeing to
throw Crawford twice in an hour. A
large crowd is expected to witness
! this sporting event which promises
to be a real treat for wrestling fans.
