Barring Non-Resident Pupils No
Solution to High School Problem
(Editor's
B00 ond
This is the
series of articles
pres by the Bellefonte
School Board relative to the
proposed bond issue and bulld-
ing program. The first
of this series pointed
crowded conditions in the Belle~

A commonly suggested solution Lo
the problem of over-crowding is to
refuse admission to non-resident
pupils. It is contended that the
room space would then be sufiic-
fent to accommodate the resident
pupils. It is the purpose of this ar-
ticle to discuss non-resident pupil
fiom the (financial, educational
and community points of view
The problem is by no means pe-
culiar to Bellefonte, Nearly every
town which 8 a community center

In these school districts, non-res-

accepted as an asset to the school
system. Are non-resident pupils an
asset to the Bellefonte school sys-
tem?
From the financial point of view
it is well to note that the average
receipts from tuition for the ten
year period from 1928 to 1937 have
been $18.154.77 per year
