SCHOOL FUND OVER
THIRTY MILLIONS
STATE REPORT SHOWS ANOTHER
BIG GAIN FOR EDUCA-
TIONAL USES.
sURPASSES FONDEST DREAMS
Total Permanent Amount to Be
$31 4,2a3-The Past
Predictions.

st. Paul-Minnesota's claim that
1t is the richest commonwealth in the
world was again strengthened when
State Auditor Iverson in his report
for the fiscal year shows that the to-
tai permanent school fund has reach
ed $31, 1,734,2S3.93, an increase of ST.
$50, 0,515.54 over July 81, 1912.
In 1890, State Auditor Braden re-
ported the fund to be $S,955,000 and
expressed the hope that it ultimately
would reach $1S,O00,000 or 20,000,000.
Prediction Comes True.
In 1908, State Auditor Dunn re-
ported it to be $15,500,000 and pre-
dicted that some day it would reach
$3O,OOO,OOO
Today it has well passed the Dunn
prediction and Mr.. Iverson says that
$500, 100000 is a conservative estimate
of the amount of the fund in 1850,
thirty-seven years hence.
Largest Gain on Record.
The increase of the fund this year
made up as follows:
Sale of 136,557 acres of
state land at an aver
age price of $7.87 an
acre -. $1,O74, ,sOO.S7
Income from iron mine

Land Brings More Money.

Land Brings More Money.
Although during the year ending
July 81, 1912, 16S,270 acres of state
land was sold, the average price was
only S6.46 an acre and the income
$1,0S7, 900, only $4,000 more than
the amount received this year for the
sale of $4,000 acres less.
The rapid increase of the perma-
nent school fund is we'll illustrated
by the report of the state auditor for
the two years ending July 81, 1912,
during which period the total was
$2,771,936, less than 100000 more
than for the last twelve months.
