HAS SCHOOL MATTER
The entire time of the state supreme court was occupied Monday and Tuesday forenoon in hearing arguments in the suit of School District No. 2 of Laramie county to compel the latter to distribute the school fund in accordance with the custom which has been in effect for years.
The case was taken under advisement late Tuesday evening. The suit was appealed from the district court of Laramie county when Judge W. C. Mentzer ruled in favor of the school district.
The point at issue is the interpretation of the statute which provides, it is alleged, that the school fund shall not be distributed to grade schools which have less than six pupils or a term of less than six months. On the ground of the school district that the rural schools are not grade schools and therefore are entitled to share in the fund, no matter how small the attendance might be, the district court ruled in favor of this body. The county commissioners immediately appealed the case. The county was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Sam M. Thompson and Attorney J. D. Clark and the state was represented by Attorney W. E. Mullen.
