PUBLIC SCHOOL
FUNDS OF STATE
Mississippi Has 1904 Children OF
Educable Age-Meridian Has
The Largest Number.

Jackson, Miss, June 2.-Yesterday
State Auditor E. J. Smith mailed out
to the several counties warrants OF
the treasury for the payment of the
June distribution of the public school
fund, which amounts to one-third of
the $1,424,OSS appropriated for the
year 1911, or s474,696.
This sum is prorated between the
counties according to the number of
educable children therein, or sixty-six
and two-thirds cents per child for the
June distribution. The percentage for
the Jan. distribution was S1.33 1-3,
when the distribution amounted to
$949, 1872.
There are 1904 children of educa-
BILE age in the State. OF these, SO1,-
54S are white, $41O,OS9 are negroes
and 407 are Indians, and the State ap-
propriates a 50 per capita for their
schooling.
The following table gives the num-
Der of educable children in the county,
but does not give the number In the
separate districts of the county. How
ever, the amounts that go to the sepa-
rate districts are included in he coun-
ty appropriation-that is, in the total.
The Meridian separate school dis
trict draws more money from the
State than does any other city. She
shows up with S,067 children, and re-
ceives $5,37S, while the balance of
Lauderdale county gets $1,000, max
ing the total for that county $15,41S.
The city of Jackson has 1853 chill
dren, and receives $3,055.34 from the
State, while the whole county, with
five separate schoo' districts, receives
only s12, 962.64-nearly $4,000 less than
