APPORTIONMENT OF
SCHOOL LAND FUND
Union Of Two Territories Did Not Cut
Down Per Capita Allowance
as Expected.

Guthrie. Okla, May 29-The an
nouncement was made this week that
state superintendent of public instruc.
tion has apportioned fifty cents Of
the state money, derived from the
rentals OF school land and interest on
the common school fund, to each por-
son OF Oklahoma under twenty one
years OF age This Is the largest sum
mer dividend ever declared The ap.
portionment last January was one dol
lar. This makes one dollar and fifty
cents for each person of school age
within the state OF Oklahoma. Too
much cannot be said in praise OF the
school land department for this show
ing. Il was supposed that when the
two territories were united, and the
fund divided among the children Of
all the state. instead of one.half the
state that the aportionment would
be cut one.half Il was expected that
fifty cents per capita yer year would
be as much as we could reasonably
expect to realize, but this year that
amount has been trebled
These apportionments prove that

cans upon the school land department
