While he favored the wages a district could aflord, in order not to make the measure burdensome, a sliding scale should be provided, A resolution adopted asking that an enactment be passed by the legislature whereby borough High Behools will receive a proportionate share of the appropriation for township High Behools, where the same are attended by township scholars. The advocates of the measure argued that in most boroughs High Schools were already established and that the districts ad- Jacent thereto should not be denied the privileges afforded by these insti tutions simply because they were not the creature of the township.
