Terrific fires have swept away five or
more town in Ontario, Canada, and 200
or more persons have lost their lives.
Many miles of country have been fire

SCHOOL ApPORT|ONMENT
Semi-AnnuaI Divide Of State Funds Gives
This County Nearly $500

Comptroller John b. Thomason has
completed the apportionment Of the
state school funds derived during the
, first six months OF the current year. a
total of $9O6. 564.60 being available for
that purpose. Checks were mailed out
yesterday, August l. in accordance
with the apportionment.
Under the law third of the gross
revenue of the state goes to the schools
OF the state. The amount is computed
and paid twice a year, each apportion-
ment being based on the revenue de-
rived by the state during the six
months preceding. This Is in addition
to the semi-annual apportionment of
the interest derived from the perma-
nent school fund, amounting to about
SIS, 900 each halfyear.
The report of Comptroller Thomason
on the apportionment for the six
months ending July /, 1916. follows:
"The gross revenue from January l.
1916, to July /. 1916. was 3,O9S. S1.78
and, after deducting receipts from
charitable institutions and other legal
credit, amounting to $37S, 1878. the
following balance is left: 81, 7l9, 693. ~.
Thlrty-three and one-third per cent
of this, which is placed to the credit of
schools, amounts to $906, ,564.6 60.
"In accordance with the act this
amount has been divided as follows:
Common schools. 81 pct. 1858, OW.4O
Equal com. schools 10 pct. 80. .656. 46
High Schools s pct. 54, 398. S6
Cookeville Polytech. 2 pct. -18, 1919
School libraries, l pct. 9.065.66
University OF Tenn. z pct. 3.459.52

The state normal school money is
divid6l1 ~ follows:
Mid. Tenn. Normal 2-7 pct $33, ,500.97
West Tenn. Nor. 2-7 pct SO. .500.97
East Tenn. Nor. 2-7 pct. 33, ,600.97
Col. Tenn. Nor. II pct. Is, ,750.48
salary bookkeeper 600. 90
Total SIT. $3.50
"Section 2 Of chapter 264. acts of
1909, provides that 61 per cent of said
general education fund shall be appor-
toned to the several counties of the
state, according 20 the scholastic popu-
lation, as the interest on the perma'
nent school fund is apportioned and tor
the same purpose.
1t will be noticed that the Cookeville
Polytechnic school gets one-thlrd as
much as all the high schools in the
state. How do the people of the state
ike that?
Seventy-eight counties out of the 81
in the state get more money than Cum
berland. Seventeen counties get less
than Cumberland. Poor, little Van
Buren gets the least of any county in
the state.
The apportlonment is based on schol
lastic population, which means that
county has fewer children
of school age than 78 counties and more
than II, while Van Buren stands at the
bottom of the list. Following ls the
number of scholars in each of the four
largest counties and the money each
receives. Also the same for this coun-
ty and Van Buren,.
