For support of the secondary schools there is a tax levied over the whole 

 county, which is apportioned among the accredited high schools of the county by 

 the county superintendent according to the total daily attendance in the schools. 

 A pupil, resident in the county, may attend any of the high schools without tuition 

 charge. 



Supervision by the State. 



The schools and the state institutions of higher learning are efficiently looked 

 after by the State Department of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education. 

 All of the public schools, elementary and secondary, come under the supervision of 

 the State Department of Public Instruction. Under the State Superintendent there 

 is a deputy, having charge principally of the high school work and two rural school 

 inspectors, supervising the rural schools of the state, one in the eastern, and the 

 other in the western half. 



The State Board of Education, composed of prominent men and leading educa- 

 tors, has charge of the higher state institutions. The University of Montana, composed 

 of its four schools, as well as the State School for Deaf, Dumb and Feeble-Minded, 

 at Boulder; the State Industrial School, at Miles City and the State Orphans' Home, 

 at Twin Bridges, all come under the jurisdiction of the State Board. Each of these 

 institutions has a local administrative board to carry on its work, and the four 

 schools composing the University of Montana has, in addition to the local board, a 

 Chancellor of the University, located at Helena, whose duty it is to correlate and 

 unify the work.
