MT. GunnelIs Talks.

NIT. GunnellS Talks.
 In discussing the change in methods State Superintendent of Education Gun nells said:
 There are in the state about 49 school districts. which the educational depart ment, for convenience, has denominated state districts. In the past the school fund has been apportioned direct to these districts In the same manner that the fund is apportioned to counties. These districts made payrolls direct to the state department and received their funds di- rect from the state treasurer.
 Acting under Attorney General Gar ber's ruling the state department has, under section 256 of the constitution ap- portioned the school funds to the coun- ties of the state in proportion to the number of school children of school age residing therein. Under this opnion the County Board of Education will appor- ton to the cities and towns public school funds in the same manner as they ap- portioned the funds to the rural dis tricts. Section 256 of the constitution plainly provides that funds shall be ap- portioned to the various districts so as to run all the schools in all the districts as nearly the same length of time as practicable.
 ''The natural result of this law will be that in a number of counties the sal aries of the county superntendents will be materially increased, as he is allowed per cent on all moneys dsbursed. Under the new plan the county superintendent will make payrolls for the various towns and cities and pay over the money due them to the city treasurer
 ''It will be seen that under this plan the County Board of Education are not required to make the apportionment, either to the rural district or to the town and city district on a per cent basis. The only thing which they are required to keep in. view is that all the schools in all districts are to be run as

School Funds to Be Distributed
 By County Superintendent
SOME JEFFERSON FIGURES
Bridgeport Inaugurates Unique Cam pagn With Post Cards to Secure Jackson County High School.
 Mir. Belser's Successor.
BY HERVEY ". LAIRD.

Montgomery, October 5.-(Special) = There is no more interesting Alabama question just now than the apportionment of the school fund under a new ruling by the Attorney General in which, he eliminated section 17e of the new munich pal code. This provides that every cent of the public money used for schools In the counties shall be paid through the superintendents, on appointments made by the county board of education, so dis strubted as to run all the schools as nearly as practicable the same length of time.
 This is a departure. Heretofore the money has been sent direct to the separate school districts and only that which went to the general schools of the counties was paid out through the superintendent. For instance, last year Jefferson county, the largest in the state, received sS5,6SS, of which amount $53, ,6S7. 40 was distributed to the county schools by the county boards and the balance direct to the spec ial districts, which are Avondale Besse- mer, Birmingham, East Lake and Pratt City. This year the county will receive SIS, ,5S733, which will be given to all the schools alike so as to run ''as nearly as practicable the same length of time.'
 Whether or not the cities will be hurt by this is problematical. It is by no means certain that they will not be benefited. By it they can insist that they have their fair amount in accord ance with the laws, to which they will add their own contributions.
 Aided Smaller Places.
 Many of the larger places have not stood out for possibly all they could get because the trustees felt that with city and other aid their schools needed it less than many of the rural places. Certain it is that the superintendents will be pleased, as they will get their commits sions on what has heretofore been going other than through their offices Where last year Superintendent McAdory of Jefferson county received commission on $S5.6S3. he will receive it on SIS, ,S5733.
 The following figures, by way of illus tration, show Jefferson county and the city districts of the county received last year, and also, if the custom remained the same, what would be coming to them this year:
