Charles A. GreathOuSe Has
Biggest Surplus Ever
Turned Over.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 3O.-In ac-
cordance with the statutes as fixed
by the legislature Of 1915 on Dec

perintendent of public instruction
will have turned into the state treas
ury $5,15O.24 as a surplus after
paying all expenses in the manu-

ment Of public instruction.
Under the operation OF the old
law II was necessary for this divis-
ion Of the department of public in
struction to make a settlement with
the auditor of state on Sept. 80. but
the new law changed the date SO
that this settlement is now made on
Dec. 81 This is the largest amount
that has ever been turned over from
this department to the state treas
ury in any one year.
Under the operation Of the new
law all money received in the state
treasury since Sept 30 from the
teachers manuscript department
shall be accredited to the state tut
ton fund. Mr.. Greathouse stated
that in his judgment the legisla-
ture OF 1917 should change this part
of the law passed by the 1915 legis-
lature and require the surplus
money turned over to the state tut
ton fund TO be placed into the teach
ers' retirement fund.
Mr.. Greathouse stated that under
the operation Of this law all teach
ers desiring to have their manu-
scripts graded by the state depart
ment of public instruction shall pay
a fee OF IS cents in order that the
manuscripts can be graded and IL
censes issued. Under the operation
of the old law the teachers had TO
pay 81. He further stated that since
the teachers were required to pay
the fee for taking the examination
when any surplus remains that such
surplus should be turned over to the
pension fund TO become a part there
of. 1t is his intention TO recon-
mend this TO the governor and to
the next legislature.
