TUITION BILL SIGNED
BY GOVERNOR STERLING

Remedies Situation Which Had Been
Created by Supreme Court
Decision.

       Senate bill No. 41 according free tuition in public schools to pupils from six to 21 years of age, inclusive, passed by the special session of the 42nd legislature ending Wednesday, has been signed and filed by Governor R. S. Sterling.
       This remedies a situation created by a supreme court decision sometime ago, according to Miss Lois Souther, Falls county superintendent of the Marlin independent school district.
       Briefly, the decision held that only pupils enumerated in the scholastic census, covering ages from six to 17 years, were entitled to free tuition.  Under the new law, the maximum is now increased from 17 to 21 years.
