THE STATE AND
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
State Supt. Baxter Says State
Should Bear Expenses.

Charles J. Baxter, in his very inter-
esting report as State Superintendent
of schools, argues that the proper
and ideal arrangement is for the dis
tricts to provide suitable and ade-
quate school recommendations the
! furnishing of accommodations to be,
in the case of each district, condi-
tion precedent to receiving its equit-
able share of state support.
The financial statement issued by
Mr.. Baxter shows that for the year
ending June 80 1910. the receipts
for school purposes were S23, ,109 ABB
and that the total expenditures in the
state for all purposes in connection
with the public schools was SIS S.202,-
275.32. The income for school pur-
poses was from three sources, SS,1S2,-
S08.6S from state school tax, state
appropriations, school fund appropri-
ations and railroad taxes; raised by
school districts, $10.147 $3.50, and
from all other sources, Safe, ,939.39.
The State Board of Education has
! just apportioned among the counties
of the state the ten per cent. reserve
fund, which is withheld annually from
the state school tax for distribution
by that body. The theory of the ten
per cent. reservation is that the
stronger counties shall contribute in
some measure to the weaker coun-
ties, which are less abundantly sup
piled with funds for school purposes.
This fund this year amounts to $685.
622. In the distribution of this "a
taount eleven counties were appor-
toned more than their share of the
tax, four We're awarded the same
amount to be raised by them. and six,
known as paying counties, will CON
tribute to the support of the school
system in the eleven receiving ooun-
nor receive, but retain the exact a.
mounts raised by them for school pur
poses. Union county gets for each
| teacher $SS1.12, an amount exceeded
by only two counties, Atlantic and
Hudson, while Morris gets $54S.27 and
Somerset, $553.13.
