Columbus, O.. Sept 4.-Returna

LARGE BALANCE,
 OF SCHOOL FUND
S5O,00O High School Aid More Than Compensated By tiDanciaI
 Increase.

Little Rock, Sept Statistics just compiled by the Department of Education show that during the last year the inc. ease in the average scacol term of the state was four days, or 8 complete common school education for BOSS children. The schools of the state cost a total of s2,000 a day, so that the increase alone represents an increase of of $12S,000 ill the cost.
 The total cost of the common schools of the state for the year was $5,275, ,G53.311, and the uneApended bal anco had increased to 1,43S, ,104.29. Ii is thus shown that the $oo,000 per annum high school aid now provided by legislative get is more than com pensated by the increase in the finan- cal balance.
