STATE SCHOOL FUND

State Superintendent Bray has
appOrtioned 500, 9Ol.35, state
school fund, to the various
counties. Of this amount, Elko
county gets $ll,llS.2l for its
Ills children of school age and
its I'd teachers.
In discussing the apportonment,
Superintendent Bray saws:
The total amount apportioned in
July this year is Sill. 394.85 less
than in July. 1910. In consc.
quencc. nearly all the counties
get less this year than last. though
few get slightly m ore, owing t.
the new method of appointment.
There are now 1884 school
census children, as against 1881
in July 1910. a slight gain. Four
counties show losses in the numbe +
Of census children as follows ::
Wdshoc, 223; Storey, 27: Eureki -.
IT; and Esmeralda, 1873 All the
others show gains, except Douglas
which remain. stationary.
In the state, as whole, we have
every reason to expect a steady
increase yearly in the number OF
Gems children as Nevada becomes
more an agricultural state, and
since the mining interests are
reasonably certain to contiue
pros J9rOu5 for many years to
come This means more schools
more teachers and greater
necessary outlay for schot |
purposes.
The income from state school
funds is not likely OF be materially
Increased. In fact, unless we can
get much better ivesrments il is
certain to decrease. as the interest
boari ny debt Of the school lands
sold is being gradually paid up.
More and more then the schools
must depend on direct taxation.
state, county and district. A
arger state tax for school pouposes
will NOV" more equitable, as large
corporate interests. located
mainly in less than half tie
counties of the state, will thus
contribute directly to the support
Of all the schools.

that hsi ambition had lain in the direction

the presidency and admitted that he I'M
doubtedly had made many mistakes. but
asserted that as President he had tried
to do what he thought to be right.
Mr.. Taft declared he was not allied

The President declared that while it
might not be so for a time, the people in
the end would distinguish between fact
and fustian," and would recognize the
difference between substance in progress
and platform declarations written for
campaign purposes only.
The speech made by the President was
the most significant of his trip thus

of the reciprocity agreement in Can
