Lonqer School Terms.

Superintendent of public instruc-

circular letters to County Court
members in the interest of longer
terms for the public schools. He
saws:
Il have been officially notified by
Theo. King, comptroller of the treas
ury, that the amount to be distributed
is $271,000, or So cents per capita.
Multiplying the scholastic population
of you county by 35 cents, it will give
the amount that you will receive. A
warrant for this will be sent to your
trustee within a few days.
The great needs of the public
schools in Tennessee are a longer aver
age term and more efficient ilstruc-
ton in the primary schools. To supply
these needs will require more money.
AS this help from the State comes
without any increase of taxation, l
urge upon your honorable body to meet
it by increasing your county appropria-
ton for school purposes. No county in
the State should have an annual term
of less than six months, and the strong
er counties should provide for at least
eight months"
The $4,000 is The surplus in
the State treasury, which, under the
law, goes to the school fund.

of the crooked variety, and several
months ago was arrested for vagrancy
by the police because he was not at
work. but as he had money, which
is accepted as visible means of sup
