Old Gowns Made Over.

Wonders can be worked by doing
over old frocks with black net dra-
peries. The bodice of an cid satin
foundation can be treated to a simple
fichu of the net with a hanging angel
sleeve, and the skirt hung with
straight lengths gathered in slightly
under the belt, with an opening at the
middle front that slants off toward the
back
At the hem of the gown the net Is
laid with some fullness around the
skirt. A charming French gown in
which this idea was elaborated in
many ways had a foundation of change
able mauve and yellow silk with
mauve net as covering, and cluster
of wistaria on a long train to catch
down some of the drapery. Yellow
satin with a black covering and SIM
pie rhinestone trimming is also good.

moneys and credits in the city of
Rochester, Eyota and High Forest
village, and several townships u Ohm
sted county has been ordered ay the
state tax commission, after canvass
of the returns of the assessment of
the county.
According to the state board the
communities in which the reassess-
ment is ordered fail to show a suffi-
cient sum in moneys and credits that

EACH SCHOOL CHILD
COSTS ST A YEAR
STATE AID FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
MORE THAN ss,ooo,ooo-
FUNDS INCREASING.
LEGISLATURE RAISED FUN D
Manner of Distribution Explained and
Sources of This Vast Revenue Is
Shown in the Ensuing Article
of Interest to Taxpayers.

st. Paul-It costs the State Of Min
nesota approximately 81 annually for
each child attending the public schools
. of the state.
Recently the October distribution
of the current school fund amounting
to $1,450,794.30 was made by Charles
G. Schulz, superintendent of educa-
ton. This is payable October q.
Additional Appropriation.
In addition, the last Legislature ap-
propriated $763, 972.6S as state aid for
high schools, graded and industrial
schools. Soon there will be another
distribution of something more than
100000 to rural and consolidated
schools. When this is completed the
total will exceed the 100000 mark
sufficiently to make approximately 81
paid out for each of the 433,0O0 school
children in the state.
The current school fund is derived
from the permanent school fund in
terest-bearing securities and is dis
tributed on a per capita basis, $3.50
for each pupil. Last year it amounted
to. 1881 5000 and next year it is
expected that s1,600,000 will be avail
able. Because of the rapid growth of
the permanent school fund, derived
from iron mine royalties and the sale
of state land, the interest will reach
the $8,O00,000 mark by 1850.
Special Aids Voted.
The Legislature also each year
makes appropriations for special state
aid derived from direct taxation. The
sum of $763,972.6S available this year
is apportioned as follows:
For departments in agriculture,
economics and manual train
ing ........... $2,oO0
For departments in agriculture
and either home economics or
| manual training ............ 1900
For training department for ru-
raj teachers, applicable only
to high schools ............ 1000
The last Legislature also increased
the annual aid to high schools from
$1,750 to $4,000 and for graded
schools from $500 to $3.50. This in
crease, however, does not apply to
the present school year, but will be
included in the distribution for aid
in -914. Graded schools maintaining
two years high school work receive
$1,10O; consolidated schools 1880 for
a four-department school, $1,000 for a
three-department school, $3.50 for a
school Of two departments. consol-
idated school also receives aid to-
wards a new building and equipment
of $1,000. Semi-graded schools re-
ceive 5000 annual aid, rural schools,

How It Is Apportioned.

Of the special aid to high, industrial
and graded schools, ST. Louis and
Wright counties receive the most,
$24,600 each. Despite the fact that
S5 per cent Of the taxes for this aid
are raised in Ramsey and Hennepin
counties the former gets but $4,000
and the latter $19,950. This is be-
cause these counties have but few of
the type of schools entitled to the
aid. Little Itasca county gets as
much as Ramsey.
