The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1903-01-13

Under the present law, the great
est effort in many counties is put
forth in trying to get every availa-
bic name on the census rolls. I'm
fortunately the same zeal is not
shown in trying to get the enumer-
ated child on the school rolls. The
census enrolment is compulsory,
but the school attendance is purely
voluntary. At the same time it is
the undeniable truth that in the Sec
tons where the non-school going
scholastics are alleged to reside, the
poorest buildings, the lowest grades
of teachers, and the least amount of
public school spirit are found to
exist.
Therefore, in view of all the con-
ditions above enumerated | am con-
WINGED that the present school CEN
sus law should be changed, and in
stead of the census enumeration as
at present obtained by the clerk of
the board of trustees, the teachers
in the several school districts in
each county should, under oath, at
the close of the annual session, be
required to furnish to the county SUI
perintendents of their respective
counties an accurate list of all the
children Of school age attending their
schools. This sworn statement of
the teachers should be further certi-
fed to by majority of the school
trustees of the district, and then for.
warded to the county superintendent,
who should make his returns to the
department of education, at Helena.
This method would be just to
each district, and at the same time it
would result in saving to the school
funds of $6,469.3O year of the
amounts now required to pay clerks
for taking the school census. The
public money would be distributed
in proportion to the needs of the sew
eral school districts, as shown by the
schools actually organized and
taught. Last, but not least, strong
incentive would be put before each
school district, collectively. to in
crease by legitimate methods it's
school enrolment. and thus add to
the influence of the public school
work"

Change in Existing Law Is Advocated
BY State superintendent WEIGH.
Argues That Apportionment Should
Be Made According to the True
Scholastic Population, Which Is the
School Going Popuiation-Extract
From Superintendent Report.

In his biennial report on the
schools of the state, Superintendent
w. w. Welch urges that the present
plan of taking the school census in
the state be changed the change sug-
gested being such as to save the
state So. 500 year, the amount now
required to pay the clerks of the
school boards for taking the census
The state scholastic census"
says Superintendent Welch, lis de-
signed for the single purpose of OBJ
tanning basis for the distribution
OF the public school funds of the
state among the children entitled to
its benefits. In Montana a child that
has been enumerated by the clerk of
certain district possesses no right
or privilege not possessed by every
other child of school age residing in
the school district. whether the lat
ter has or has not been enumerated.
The enumeration simply secures to
certain district a certain amount
of public school money based upon
the supposed school needs of that
district, as shown by the number of
children enumerated who will attend
school during the coming year."
After discussing the different
methods of apportioning school funds
in the various states, Superintendent
WEIGH says:
1T is likewise illogical to argue
that the state. from the standpoint
of law and equity must apportion to
each child of the legal school age a
fixed sum of money, regardless of the
fact whether or not the child eve,
attends school. If this We're true
then the state is indebted every veal
tc each child of the scholastic age
the full amount of the per capita ap
portionment, and in case child can
not or does not, attend school, tn,
state should pay in cash to sucl
child, or it's legal guardian, all tn,
money apportioned to it. But to d,
this last act would involve an alb
surdity as we'll as violation of tn

available school funds shall be used
only for the payment of teachers
salaries and certain other school ex-
penseS.
THE conclusion, therefore, is ire
sistible that the state does not APP
portion its public school funds to
the children of scholastic age inii-
vidually, but collectively; that is to
say, in groups legally formed into
school districts or communities.
Furthermore, as matter of SIM
pie justice, the state should appor-
ton it's public school funds among
these different groups. districts or
communities, in proportion to the
true scholastic population, which is
the school going population. A child
that does not attend the public
school, even though of legal age,
should not be considered a scholas-
tic in the appropriation OF the state
public school funds.
Every child of school age is enti-
tied under the law to attend the pub
lie school of the district in which he
lives. If one child does not attend,
why should its neighbor wno does
not attend receive a double appor-
tionment of the state funds because
of the non attendance of the first
named child? AS matter of fact,
the present method of ascertaining
the scholastic population of Montana
in addition to being the most expen-
sive, is likewise the most unjust,
for the reason that it offers pre-
MUM of a long school term to such
sections of the state as can obtain
maximum census enrolment with
minimum of actual school attend.

In sections where from IS per cent
to 80 per cent of the children enum
