HOWARD COUNTY LOST BY ERROR
Her ComnSon School Fund Lost g 0tt' fer Year When Mistake Made.

Little Rock Sept 15 While How ard County schools lost approximately 5000, common schools in the remain der of the state profited through an CT TOT made in the Cffice of Geo B. Cook, State superintendent of education, when the common school apport.on- ment was compiled and submitted to the State Board of Eudcation for rati- fication The error was discovered by Howard County officials.
 In figuring Howard County's appor- tionment. the negro school population. totaling about 1000, was not included, and thereby Howard county failed to get school money for her negro school population. The basis of apportion- ment was $2.03 for each person f school age, and less than $50 was left in the fund after the apportionment. Had Howard county's negro popula- ton been included the appOrtionment basis would have been reduced to $2.02 and approximately $4,000 would have remained in the fund unappOrtiCneG.
 The law makes provision for errors in the apportiOnment although How ard county cannot get her $2,000 this year. The Board of Education neX, year can apporton an extra $2,000 to Howard County to make up for the e2- TOT in this years apportionment

He confined his remarks to state issues. His speech sounded very much like a Democratic campaign speech, barring the lack of punch that is inspired with hope and confidence.
