The board of education have de-
cided that when school communities
decline from one year to another to
organize schools and expend their pro
rata of the school appropriation, the
county judge shall not make further
distribution to them. The effect of
the order is that if any school commu-
nifty has in that way accumulated a
fund to its credit in the county treasu-
ry sufficient to maintain the school in
that community, the county judge
shall distribute the newly apportioned
fund, that would otherwise go to
them pro rata, amongst the other
school communities of the county. 1t
is intended that they shall first expend
the fund on hand before drawing
more. The board aim to prevent the
accumulation of the available funds
where they are not used.
