The school per capita for theIensu-
ing year, as announced Tuesday by Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction
BarksdaIe Hamlett, will be'S4, reduc-
tion of forty cents from last years per
capita. by reason of deficit in the
school fund, caused by failure of reve-
nues for the current year to equal the
estimate given the State Superinten-
dent, the reductions in the estimate
made year ago.
Thekdeficit in:: the school fund result
ing from last years overdraft lis ap-
proximately $50, 900. as reported by the

A uditor estimates the school fund tor
the ensuing year at 81. 582, 954. 60, as
compared with an estimate of $33, 74O, :
04.02 lest year. This estimated revess
nue. is apportioned among 1912 chill
dren""of school age, an incrense of l,5OO
over last years scholastic census.
In announcing the apportionment
Supt. Hamlet said: -Four dollars is
the absolute limit of possibility upon
the estimate. | think it is conserva-
tive and hope that the revenues will
exceed the apportionment but that we
can not tell in advance. My ultimate
aim is to create sufficient surplus to
extend the school year from six to
seven months. and at all events, to
avoid a deficit. if possible"
The school census shows evidences
of movement of negroes from the
country to cities, or to other States.
While the rural schools report de-
crease offs, ,S27 in negro..children, the
colored city schools report an increase
