How the Fund is Apportioned.

THE ARGUS had not intended to en-
ter into Il detailed statement in cor
rcction of the communication which
appeared in the Union the other
morning over the signature of N.
Y. H." the entire argument on the
part of the correspondent rejecting
his ignorance of the subject with
which he attempted to deal. but one
of his declarations was so glaringlv
inaccurate that one or two have sug-
rested that a correction was due the
public. X. Y. H." among other non
sensical assertions states that the
apportionment of the public school
fund to Rock Island falls short 81 900
by reason of about l 900 children at
tending the parochial schools, for
which the school fund receives 81
head. In contradiction of this silly
idea. it should be said that the APP
portionment is based on the school
census. which must enumerate every
child in the city under 21 years OF
age. without regard to sex. race or
color. or whether it attends the
public or parochial school, or wheth-
er it attends school at all. Further
more. the allowance is made on
basis of 80 cents each. and if there
are 1000 pupils in the parochial
schools of Rock Island. the Rock Isl
and school district receives the bene-
fit of $500 over and above what it l.
allowed for pupils entitled to public
school privileges.

The nationalities of Norway, Den
mark, Wales, France. Russia, Bel
gium, Persia and Holland. show no
per cent of representation in the
Rock Island High school. A fact of
peculiar interest developed by these
figures. is that while the pupils of
Austrian parentage show the highest
percentage of representation in the
High school, there was but one pu-
pill of such'lineage attending. and the
representation made by the so-called
patriotic order that the Irish are
largely sent to parochial schools, is
confronted by figures showing
that after all. larger per cent of the
children of Irish parentage attending
the public schools, go to the High
than any other nation, not excepting
the children of American parents
