THE STATE SCHOOL PER ..
CAPITA BREAKS RECORD
Means That Our Teachers Will
Receive $365,00O More
In Salaries.

Frankfort, KY. July 1S.-The
1000 public school teachers in
Kentucky will receive $4,000
more in aggregate wages for the
school year of 1914-15 than last
year as the result of an increase in
the per capita apportiOnment of the
State school fund of 80 cents, de-
clared by State superintendent
Barksdale Hamlet.
Tile, Qer Galait1u Will i've 80, the
highest in the history of the State.
In 1911-12, when "a State campaign
was on, the per capita was placed at
$40; but as a result the present
administration when it entered
found a deficit of $537, 900 in the
school fund. The per capita was re-
duced to S4 and kept there, the cen
sus was scrutinized and thousands
of names stricken from the county
and city lists, and June 30. 1914,
the school fund had to its credit a
balance of S63S,00O.
The balance was not sufficient to
warrant the extension of the
school term in the rural districts to
seven or eight months, which could
have been done under the act of
1914 if a per capita of S4.75 had
been possible.
The State Auditors Department
estimates the school revenue for the
current year at $3,061 .544. to which
is added the balance in the school
fund. making the total amount
available. as estimated, $3,699, 544,
There are 100000 children of school
age in the State, and the State fund
will be distributed among the cOun-
ties and cities in proportion to the
scholastic population. on the basis
of $3.50 for each pupil. The State
fund can be used only for paying
