School Funds.

In order that parents and guardians
may fully understand the Importance
Of having all children of school age
attend school regularly, it may be well
to explain how the school money is
obtained. Each year the clerk of the
board of trustees of every school dis
trict in the county is required to make
a sworn statement to the countv super
intcndent OF all scholars, giving the
names and number of days attendance
Of every pupil who has attended school
during the last school year. The
county superintendent takes the aver
age daily attendance OF each school
district, and the estimated amount
of school money, and makes the APP
portionment for the coming school
year on the basis of the average daily
attendance Of the past school year.
Thus for the present school year the
Clifton district i receiving money on
Il basis of 2S2 pupils. In plain figures
every day pupil misses school, just
IL cents Is lost to this district. while
every day attended adds that much to
the amount of taxes paid in from
Clifton that will come back to our own
schools instead of being sent to some
other district. This year the Clifton
schools Is prepared to easily accommo-
date 400 pupils, so now let all parents
and pupils try and see If the average
daily attendance cannot be increased
to 400 for this year.
