Madison. Aug. Is.

the legislature for this purpose, is
divided among the graded schools OF
the state according to their size,
equipment and the manner in which
they comply with the law and the
recommendations of the state super
intendent The graded schools are
divided into classes. The first class
embraces those schools which main
tain three or more departments,
whose buildings are in proper sani-
tary condition and whose teachers
are possessed of proper certificates.
The schools of the first class get
$500 each of state aid from this speci-
al fund. In the second class are in
cluded those schools that maintain
two departments and otherwise con-
ply with the requirements. These
get 500 each from this special fund
Of $4,000. Before the apportionment
Is made the salaries and necessary
expenses of the two inspectors of
graded schools come out but the
fund is large enough to allow this
without cutting down the apportion-
ment to the schools as contemplated
by the law This fund formerly con-
sisted of 100000, but the schools com
ing in and entitled to participate be-
came so numerous that the fund was
Insufficient and the Legislature in
creased the annual appropriation to
5000. a. H. Drewry and w. H.
Hunt are the two state inspectors OF
graded schools.
Some Failed to Comply.
Aid from this fund has been with
held b. the state superintendent
from several schools because the
local boards failed to make out the re-
quired annual report. Several other
schools were denied state aid from
the special fund on account of de-
fcient legal qualifications of teachers,
sanitary buildings and failure OF
teachers and boards to meet the
recommendation of the state super
intendent.
The popularity of the state graded
school law is shown in the growth of
these schools. The first class has
practically trebled in number since
the law went into effect, while the
second Class at the present time is
nearly equal in number to the total
in both classes at the time they
were organized. Second class schools
show eagerness to get the maximum
amount + special aid allowed by the
law, and they quickly increase to the
required three departments and other
wise improve so as to entitle them
selves to the $500 a year.
