ROARS AT REDWOOD
Hennepin County Thinks 1t is Not Get
ting Square Deal on School
Appointment.
Redwood County Schools Drawing Near
Iy as Much State Aid as the
Big County.

The Minneapolis Journal of April
l made a war against the special
state school aid, which it termed a
"one-sided affair."" and in publish
ing the article paid a silent compli-
ment to Supt. S. J. Race of this
county, who has done so much to-
wards building up the Redwood
county schools.
: The special state school aid is
recognized as being about the only
steal that the country makes on
the larger cities, and it is justified
by the fact that the country con-
tributes to and builds up the wealth
of the cities, and consequently the
latter should not object to having
a small portion of the money which
they take from the country sent
back there thru the distribution of
the school fund on an individual
nigh school, or on a high grade

Senators and representatives from
the country always give their city
cousins the laugh when this appro-
priation item passes at each session,
claiming that it is about the only
time that they are not able to steal
back what has been stolen" from
them, and the game is not likely to
be abandoned.
The Journal article is given in
full, because it uses Mr.. Races Red
wood county school system almost
entirely as kicking block:

ming of his pastorate, most of the
new accessions being the direct re-
suit of the Sunday meetings. Mr..
Badger is generally admitted to be
a hustler and an eloquent preacher.
In concluding his remarks Mr..
Badger counseled the congregation
to get together and eliminate all
personal feeling or bitterness from
their counsels. He recognized that
the time comes to every pastor and
congregation when a change is de-
sirable, and was willing to leave
to the congregation the matter of
fixing the date for making the
change.

schools, graded, semi-graded ant

schools, graded, semi-graded and
rural schools.
This is shown in a table pre-
pared for the coming report of
State Superintendent J. W. Olsen.
The table gives the number of such
schools receiving aid in each county
of the state, the total amount of
such aid paid to each county, the
total enrolment and the amount
of local school taxes raised in each
county.
Special state aid is given by ap-
preparation to schools that pass the
requirements of the state high
school board. The money comes out
of the general fund of the state,
raised by direct taxation, and to
which Hennepin county contributes
nearly Is per cent. Yet Hennepin
county got only s14, 8S9 out of the
$3.50, 813 paid last year as state aid,
or a little more than 3 per cent.
The table shows 174 high schools
receiving 81, 200 each; 148 graded
schools receiving S525 each: 287
semi-graded schools receiving $3.50
each: $40 first-class rural schools re-
ceiving S92 each, and 249 second
class rural schools receiving S37
each. The total enrolment for the
state was 430,005, so that the special
aid averaged about S1.05 a pupil.
THE total amount of special
school taxes and the local mill
tax provided by law was S., 976. 1877.
The counties got back in special aid
on an average of rs per cent. of
what they raised locally, without
counting the regular per capita dis
tribution of the interest from the
permanent school fund, which is
made only with reference to school
population.
Where Hennepin county gets the
worst of it is easily seen. Mime
apolis received aid for its high
schools but not for its graded
schools, and so only got $4,000.
Hennepin county got s14, 1899 alto
gether, paid to seven high schools,
three graded, eight semi-graded,
thirty-one frst-class rural and six
second-class rural schools. Henne-

pins school enrolment was 48, 406,
so Hennepin only got 80 cents a
pupil, while the average is S1.05.
Redwood county, with STA pupils,
got S11,605 in school aid or more
than two dollars a pupil
"Hennepin county paid 81 ,O56, 653
in local school taxes and got S14,-
S89 in special aid, or IA cents for
every dollar. Redwood county raised
S70,629 in local taxes and got SILL
COS from the state, or 1914 cents
for every dollar raised at home.
Redwood county, which is only a
sample, Jared seven times as well
as Hennepin according to school en-
rollment, and twelve times as well
as Hennepin in proportion to money
raised locally for school purposes.
Fillmore county, with a school
enrolment of 1925 and local school
taxes amounting to ST., 474, got
S12, 1896 from the state, or nearly as
much as Hennepin. Wright county,
with 1924 pupils enrolled, and local
school taxes amounting to s66, 637,
got S12, O66 in state aid.
Ramsey county only drew S9,057
in aid for its schools, collecting for
six high schools, four semi-graded,
nine first-class rural and three sec
ond-class rural schools, Ramsey
county had a school enrolment of
% 1861, and raised S499, 1884 in local
school taxes.
st. Louis county had a much
smaller enrolment than Ramsey,
19, 708 pupils, but raised $685.. 800 in
taxes. 1t received S11, TAT in special
aid from the state.
The older settled sections of the
state, where schools are well adj
vanced, draw the bulk of the aid,
while the newer counties fare poor
". Roseau county, for instance,
draws only 81 ,28O, tho it has a school
enrolment of 1882, and raises S16,-
262 in taxes. {"
