stances instructors Enough TO Draw
Amounts on Hand Are Not Employed
Lansing. Mich. oct. 27.--In two
weeks the state will send TO the school
districts approximately s747,9os In pri-
mary school money. apportioned at
about the rate OF 81 per capita. and
this fund. instead OF fulfilling the pur-
pose for which the sacred primary
school fund" was established, will In
many districts simply be added to a
hoard OF money now on hand.
II is a somewhat remarkable situa-
ton that the state, which is short OF
money with which 10 pay running ex-
penses and liable 10 continue 10 face a
deficit for another year. should be
sending out such an amount OF money
where II is not needed.
The law specifically states that the
money can only be used TO pay teach
ers' salaries and as many districts do
rot have a star which requires the use
'of the full amount apportioned TO them
the fund has been growing year by
year until the amount is exceedingly
large.
AS two instances II is cited that
Alcona county has s22134.22 Of pri-
mary school funds on hand that cannot
be used and Allegan county has Ss2.-
35b.57.
This condition OF Affairs was called
to the attention OF the last legislature
but no action was taken. Several sug
gestions have been made for abandon
ing the present system and adopting
one which will allow for the use Of the
entire fund.
There has also been a proposal that
the tax on corporations be used 20
maintain the state government and tho
taxes collected on property be held IN
the counties wherein collected for tho
support of the schools and local gov.
ernment.
