WANT LAW CHANGED
SCHOOL BOARD AND CHARTER
COMMISSION DISCUSS MATNTE-
NANCE OF SCHOOLS
HAMPERED IN BUYING FUEL
Per Capita Allowance to BE Based
ON Each Attendance of Twenty
Days Instead of Az
eraging.

A committee from the charter commits
sion met the school board last night at
the rooms of the board to discuss the
problem Of more money for the mainte-
nance of the schools.
The trouble seems to lie not in the
fact that the board has not enough
money, but rather that it cannot spend
what 1t has got except in the way laid
down by law
The school board desires that the clause
in this regard in the charter be amended
to read that the allowance shall be based
upon the fact that an enrolment shall
consist of twenty days attendance at
school by pupil and not as it is now.
At present the rule is to multiply by
twenty-five the average attendance and
base the amount of funds to be expended
for maintenance upon this
The present law allows them SIS per
capita, thus the multiplication by twenty
five. But the board holds that the man
ner in which the average attendance is
arrived at is not a proper one and does
not allow the board enough to properly
maintain the schools.
If the $25 per capita would be based
upon the enrolment, counting twenty
days attendance as an enrolment, the
difficulty would be solved. During the
discussion the question of purchasing
supplies also came up, some of the men,
bers Of the board stating that under an
other system the board could save con-
siderable money. For instance, at
present the board is compelled to pur-
chase the coal for the year on July l.
The members claim that if they could
purchase it any time they could get in
when the market was low, and thus save
great deal of money. The cost of fuel
is perhaps the most important item in
the maintenance of the schools. Over
$4,000 year is spent for coal. The sup
plies cost last year $17,500, which, it is
claimed, could have been reduced consid-
erably under different system of pur-
chasing. AS it is now, there is generally
but one bid put in.
Last fall the contracts for coal had
been approved by the mayor and city
attorney in August and submitted to
Comptroller McCardy at that time, and
yet they were not countersigned by that
official until Sept 26.
If the contractor had not seen fit to go
ahead and furnish at least 1000 tons of
coal before the contracts were legal the
schools would have been without heat
and power until Oct. /. The members of
the board generally fail to see the reason
of this delay on the part of the comp
troller.
1t was figured out last night that the
tax levy of mills was amply sufficient,
but that the board was handicapped by
the SIS per capita allowance and would
be as long as the enrolment was figured
on the present average attendance plan.
No action was taken by the board. The
members Of the charter commission COM
mittee promised to use their efforts in
the matter, but stated that the school
board was only one of many asking for
more money.

HASDONECOOD WORK
STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRE-
PAIRING HISTORY OF ITS
CAREER
WEALTH OF RARE TREASURES
1t Was Started Fifty-TwO Years Ago
Has Library of 69,735 Titles
Records Are All
81! Complete.

The state Historical society is preparing
for publication a complete history of the
ffty-two years of the society, which will
very explicitly enumerate the various col
lections of the society," its library, its mu-
scum and all of its valuable and curious
possessions. There has long been a great
need for this kind of a history, as the So
ciety has grown to such an extent that
it cannot be all taken in at a glance. Few
people realize how important an institu-
ton it is, or what wealth of possession
1t now has. When it can move into the
new capitol it's magnificent collection of
material will be displayed to some adj
vantage, and the immensely of it's scope
and completeness of its collection will be
better realized.
The society is fifty-two years old, and
is has been growing rapidly throughout
those fifty-two years. 1t was started ny
Charles Kellogg Smith, of Ohio, who was
sent to Minnesota as territorial secre-
tary.
1t is said that this was mis- one credita-
BILE act, as he was not very popular, and
was soon after forced to resign his posi-
ton. He drew up the act organizing the
society, and this act was approved by
Gov. Alexander Ramsey, who afterwards
became one Of the leading members of the
society, as he is today.
The society was organized officially on
Nov. Is, 1S49. It's history and work IS
too well known to need comment. 1t has
accumulated a library of 69,735 totles,
which stands in the front rank, as to It's
extent and value, among the historical
libraries of the United States. 1t is in
the state capitol building, and is a free
reference library, open daily to the pub
lie from $3.50 a. m. to 5 p. m.
