IN 1902

On Oct. 9, 1902, the Lawrence Journal told of a local judge’s temporary restraining order prohibiting the Board of Education from collecting tuition from high school pupils. Max Wilhelmi had filed a lawsuit to prevent the collection of tuition, and the judge had issued the order as a result of his petition. The Journal noted, “Both sides to the controversy believe they are right; the board is holding it has special authority to collect the tuition which has been ordered, and the petitioners claiming that the high school is a part of the free school system of the state.”
