nient. First, a petition must be made j
to tlie clerk of the court; then he pro
vides for an election of a school board.
After they are elected they must make a j
demand upon the governor for the nec-!
essary funds to maintain the schools and
pay the teachers. The governor, in turn,
makes a demand upon the secretary of1
the treasury; the secretary sends to the j
governor the required amount, should it
hapjien to lie on hand in the right fund; j
the governor then sends the amount to J
the clerk of the court, and the clerk of
the court in his turn hands it over to
the school board.
Or, to put it in another way, the Nel
son law provides for establishing school
districts, but it provides no means for
their maintenance at the start. After
they have been established and in oper
ation about one year it is plain sailing,
and it may not prove a difficult matter
to get the necessary funds once the red
tape is well wound up. Of course, should
any district desire a school bad enough
they can raise the money by subscrip
tion for the first year, and take their
chances in recovering it from the gov
ernment.
