EQU|TI | Distribution Of
STATES COMMON SCHOOL FUND

were last year $3.50 teachers in the
state, and these drew an average
salary of $3.50 each from the state
fund of $1,25O,O0O. At an average sal
airy of $3.50, this alone, without the
Chickasaw school fund, sixteenth Sec
ton, county or local levy, would run
every school in the state for four
months. These, with local assess
ments, etc., to be added to the poll
tax receipts, which are retained in
each county, would, of course, be
able to n their schools free for a
much longer term.
The amount of money from the
state allotted to each school would
be based on the grade of the teacher,
the grade of the school itself, or
some similar plan. Prof. Powers is
inclined to favor the grade Of the
teacher as basis, in which case he
thinks it would be necessary for
the state board of education to grade
all the examination papers and issue
all licenses to prevent the possibility
of county Judging on the grades
for the purpose of drawing more mon
ey.

ducable age in each county.

educable age in each county.
On the other hand, those counties
heavily populated with negroes draw
much larger sums than are necessary
to run their schools for an equal
length of time, because a large pro-
portion of these negro children never
go to school,
1t is argued in behalf of the pro-
posed plan that it would work no in
justice to the negro, who can just as
easily avail himself of it's advantages
by simply sending his children to
school, thus increasing the average
attendance, upon which the distribu-
ton would be based 1t is therefore
in no sense an anti-negro measure.

The visit of the Missouri Girl,
 which is announced this year for Fri day, April lG. will be hailed with de light by the numerous theater-goers, who have so long contended that this attraction is the greatest of all come dies and that Zeke and Daisy are the funniest Of all stage characters.
