Changes in the school Laws.

In response to numerous inquiries
State Superintendent Of Schools II.
A. Gass has made an analysis of the
changes made in the educational code
by the legislature just closed.
Rural Schools Every district must
have an eight months term each
scholastic year, provided levy of
40 cents on the $l00 assessed valua
tion, together with the public funds
and the cash in hand, is sufficient

valuation of $50, 900 or less.
The district must levy 65 cents on
the 800 for school purposes.
The district must have maintained
this year an average daily attendance
of 15 pupils, or in lieu of 15 pupils, the
average daily attendance must be 65
per cent of the enumeration of the
preceding year.
The amount of aid granted is 5000
per district, or SO much thereof as
may be necessary to maintain an eight
months term of school at the follow
ing salaries:
Forty dollars per month for a teach
er who holds a third grade certifi-
Ncate.
Forty five dollars per month for
teacher who holds second grade
certificate.
Fifty dollars per month for teach
er who holds first-grade certificate
or its equivalent.
A district that receives state aid
cannot pay salaries in excess of those
prescribed above. If necessary the
board of directors may call a special
meeting to vote the increase of levy
necessary for state aid.

January i, 1918, and having an area
OF less than six square miles, can re-
ceive state aid
