and the next apportionment will be

and the next apportionment will be
made in July, you can easily see that
you will secure very small appor-
tionment for next School year; there
fore, it will be we'll for all school dis
triets that have money on hand when {
their school term closes, to hold the
money on hand for next year,ani not
waste it on a two or three months,
spring school. It is the duty of the
annual meeting to provide for next
years school term, and not to vote
on a spring school, for not one dol
lar of the money to the district after
July the first can be paid out on any
teachers warrant drawn prior to said
first day of July. It would be right
and proper for the County Commits
sioner and clerk of each county to ex
plain this matter to the people; dis
saude them from running spring
schools, encourage them to husband
their resources, get out of debt the
first day of next July--with money
in the treasury to their credit.
Z. Sections 7132 and 7150 have
been changed so as to require the
county treasurer to settle with the
county clerk on OR before the 6f.
teenth of July. This was done be-
cause necessity demanded it; the
Schools must all close on or before
June 30th, then settlement can be
made; but with the school year COM
mencing July LIST, settlement could
not be made in April that would be
of any benefit. Passed with an en-
ergency clause, therefore is now in
force and will apply to the next set
tlement under these sections.
