HERE’S MORE ABOUT GARDNER STARTS OF PAGE ONE the heavy timber and underbrush lying to the west. The place where Gardner crossed the road is leas than a half a mile from the penitentiary. It is believed that Gardner has a rendezvous somewhere in the west end of the island where he covers up during the day.

On the face of the matter it seems the proceedings should win. The Star sincerely hopes he does win, and believes he ought to. It is at once obvious that if the board may charge a fee of one dollar for giving instruction it may charge $100. The whole fabrie of free public education is involved. Whatever rights the board may have in making school children pay for the materials they use (and it does do that already), these rights can hardly extend to the establishing of a fee as a condition which must be met before instruction ig given—aye, that must be met on penalty of the pupils being dropped out. So far as a reduction of taxation is concerned, the imposition of a fee is merely pyramiding taxes upon a minority who are directly concerned in the matter of getting education. That is plainly a far step afield. It has been long a matter of debate, but also a long-settled debate, that taxation for public education is to be borne by the community. private school. The other system is the system of the If there has been any change in the theory or the practice in this matter, the school board should cer- tainly stand up and explain by whose sanction it came about.
