The State School Money
Counties Get Their Apportionment
from the Reserve Fund.

The State Board of Education has
apportioned between the several coun-
ties 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. reserva-
ton is that the stronger counties shall
| contribute in some measure to the weaker
counties, which are less ~abundantly sup
| piled with funds for school purposes.
The State School Tax for the school
year 1911-l2 amounts to $751; 26, 220.09
making the discretionary a~pportionment
by the Board aggregate $552, 622. In the
| distribution of this amount eleven coun-
ties were apportioned more than their
| share of the tax, four were awarded the
| same amount to be raised by them, and
six, known as paying counties, will con-
tribute to the support of the school sys-
tenn in the eleven receiving counties.
The paying counties and the amount
each will contribute under the allotment
are as follows:
Hudson, SIS, 25O; Essex, $12, 900; Union,
S 5000; Atlantic, $4,000; Mercer, s. 1900;
Monmouth, 5000.
The receiving counties with the amounts
they will get in excess of that contribu-
ted by them are: Cumberland, $1,000;
Sussex, $1,000; Salem, $1,000; Burling-
ton, S 800: Ocean, $4,000; Gloucester,
ST, 900; Warren, $1,000; H%unterdon, ST.
600; Camden, S., 800; Bergen. $4,000;
Middlesex, So, 500. Morris, Somerset,
Passaic and Cape MAY were apportioned
the exact amounts to be raised by them
for school tax.
The total amount available for school
purposes for the coming school year is
| $S,4l8, S9S 43. This is greater than the
amount for the present year by $780,
327.5S. The items making up the total
available fund are: Income of State School
Fund, 5000, 900; appropriation from State
Fund, 500, 600; ninety per cent. of State
School Tax, 3d. 1913, sos. OS; ten per cent.
OF Reserve Funds, 1852, 622, O1; Railroad
Tax, 81, 592.67S.34.
In the appended table are shown the
apportionment from the Reserve Fund
made by the State Board for each county,
the total county -apportionment and the
amount per teacher which each county
will receive. No receiving county has
more per teacher than the lowest appor-
| tionment per teacher in any of the me-
dunn counties, also that the highest
receiving county has less per teacher
than the lowest paying county.

Assessment Constitutional

The State Supreme Court at Trenton OH
Monday held constitutional the provis-
ions of the Teachers Retirement law
which compels each public school teacher
in the State to pay two per cent. annually
of his or her salary into the fund designed
for the retirement of teachers on all an
nuity after a given number of years of
service.
The am punt OF money involved in The
suit was $1.0S, deducted by the Passaic
board of education for the salary of
Myrtle Allen, teacher, as her involuntary
contribution to the fund.
In writing to the Passaic papers on
this subject, council for the teacher puts
the question in this way:
"Consider for a moment the possibility
et a law which directed your employer to
deduct from your salary, a certain per-
centage of your salary to he paid to a cor
poration for the benefit of editors who
have been employed as such for twenty
years, in the discretion of the corporation,
and which furthur provided, that if an
editor lost his position or became inca
pacitated through no fault of his own
within twenty years, he should forfeit all
claim to the fund. What would be your
position with reference to such a law%
The claim of those defending the fund,
is, that there is no compulslon for the
reason that no teachers are compelled to
accept appointments in New Jersey.
They may 60 elsewhere. But if they
accept appointment they must accept it
with all the requirements of the state
law. The fund, it is further insisted,
should not now be imperiled. 1t has re-
lieved the schools OF 304 incapacitated
teachers, has paid $3.50, 1877 in benefits, is
now paying about $l01, 900 a year in an

good in the future.
