CONDEMNS SYSTEM
FOR SCHOOL FUNDS

Baton Rouge. Feb. "a The distri-
button or school funds in rural dis
tr,cts il condemned as inequitable in
the monthly field staff of the state de-
partment of education just issued.
Under the present system. 1t is
pointed out, the school revenues are
apportioned according to the number
OF educable children in each school
district. In sparsely settled commu-
mites this results in the amount re-
ceived being too small to operate the
schools for the full session; and, In
some cases. the term has necessarily
been cut to as low as thrre months.
To remedy the situation as 1t has de-
veloped in some districts 1t Is sug-
gested that the school funds be ap-
portioned on q parish-wide basis
rather than q district basis.
