The United States spends more for education each year than the rest of the world com' bined. Fort Atkinson believes in education to the extent that our citizens spend annually 8100.000 to maintain our school system. The Board oi Education is attempting to meet the educational needs of our community by having special courses. lt is interesting to note that the rural enrollment of our schools has inf creased from 50 high school students in 1920 to 200 in 1939. 512.000 in tuition fees was paid to our school district by our rural communities last year.
