gadhg State I'D For
Public Schools.

hereby transmit a letter received
from the State Department of Educa-
tion.-W. d. Frederickson. County Supt.
Of Instruction.
This letter is in relation to the state
aid to public schools for the biennial
period ending July. 1916. 1t is intended
as brief statement i'm connection with
the appropriation made by the last leg
islative session, and the conditions
which have created shortage in the
state aid for each of the past two
school years. 1t raises the question Of
your attitude as board members and
school administrators towards the pol
icy to be proposed before the next SEES
sion.
1t is a fixed and well recognized pol
Icy in Minnesota for the state to aid In
the support of public schools. This
dates back to the early sos, when
grants of $4,000 annually were made
to encourage high school work. In the
middle 90s, aid Of 100000 was provided
for each graded school, Later. better
conditions in rural schools were foster
ed by annual grants from the state.
More recently, consolidation Of rural
schools has been promoted by state sub
!
| in the introduction of industrial cours-
es.-Agriculture, Manual, Home and
Commercial Training. and Teacher
| Training.
| The purpose of the annual grant by
the state Of school support Is two-fold:
hrst-to improve school efficiency and
| to encourage the establishment of
schools and the undertaking Of work
! which the local community would not
| rs
to equalize the cost of public education
among school communities.
School districts have come to depend
upon the state grants in making up
their annual budgets and the local tax
levy is In greater or less degree deter
mined by the assurance that the state
grant will be paid in full.
At the request Of the chairmen Of the
committees of finance and of appropria-
ton, the state superintendent submit
ted an estimate Of the amounts reQuir-
ed to pay state aid in full for each of
the years, 1915 and 1916, to the several
classes Of schools and departments.
This estimate proved to be within 2 per
cent Of the amounts required to have
paid the state aid in full as earned by
the schools for the two years.
The following table gives the figures:

ed by and approved for

Raw cotton has gone to Zoe a
pound. 1t is very valuable now
as a basis Of material to aid In
devastating the earth. Uutil a
better use can be found for it an
embargo should be placed on its
shipment manufactured in explo-,
sive form from this country, and
give the people who want cotton
to wear a chance to buy it at a
fair price. Just now it looks as
if the American people we're
about to do a little suffering on
their own hook because of the
war prizes. Let those murderers
do the suffering, and give the
American people chance.
