IS IIICE FOR STANLEY
It Is a paying commercial proposition for James Stanley to educate his children. Last year he received from the township for transporting one of his children to and from school. The conditions which make this necessary, are somewhat peculiar and perhaps the only case of its kind in the county. Stanley lives inschool district No. 8, east of the city, but In this district there is no school building. . He is compelled to send his child to district school No. 13, south of the city, which is about three miles from his home. He drives to and from the school twice a day and is remunerated by the town ship under the transportation act The regular hack service to district No. 8 to district school No. 13 does not make his home. It is cheaper for the township to pay him a per diem under the transportation act than to have a hack call for the child.
