WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Money for High Schools,

TO the Editor of The Journal
Permit me to call attention to
the bill introduced by Senator Thomp-
son increasing the annual state ap-
preparation to high schools from 81 900
to $1,000. The general public not familiar
with the status Of this fund. will assume.
as did your reporter. that this is bene-
hclal to Hennepin county. Such, how
ever. is not the case. It is thought that
this year the number of high schools en-
titled to state aid will be increased to 100
An appropriation Of $1,000 per school
would aggregate s256,ooo. which amount
is paid from the general fund. This coun-
ty. as is well known, pays about one
fifth Of the taxes Of the state, and there.
fore one-fifth Of this fund or about
$4,000. There are five high schools in the
country, so that under the proposed in
creased appropria ton there would be re-
turned to us $4,000 T do not question the
ACCESSIBILITY Of aiding high schools, blu,
the amount Of aid received in order te
be equitable, should be based upon the
high school attendance. The existing plar
is manifestly unfair and will not be urget
by one who is so fair-minded as Sena
tor Thompson. If 1t is proposed to in.
crease the appropriation there should b.
some other basis Of distribution Your:
