SCHOOL MONEY FOR 1917

That school authorities in Missouri
may know the effect of the action of
the present Legislature in taking the
special aid moneys granted ito GER
tain schools out of the school fund
instead of out of the general revenue
fund. | submit the following state
ment:
According to the books in the Of
flee of the State Auditor, the total
amount of money on hand March /,
1916, to the credit of the "Public
School Fund" was $1,037 ,938.64. On
March /, 1917, there was $1,717 ACT
Al. (Of this latter sum $724,920.71
was carried on the State Treasurer's
books to the credit of the Public
School Fund. The balance is in the
general revenue fund but will be
transferred to the school fund as soon
as Gov. Gardner signs the appropria-
ton bills. The transfer was made
earlier last year because it was au-
thorized by the appropriation of
1879 Therefore, there is now
$679,528.77 more to the credit of the
school fund than there was year
ago.
The following items (all of them
public school expenditures formerly
charged against the general revenue
fund, are now to be charged against
the public school fund: For rural
high schools, $225,000; for teacher
training high schools, $175,000; for
aid to counties on salaries of county
superintendent, 200; for teach
NJ, t,coi,i,1o. schools IN fba o;f;ac eco
900 new item this year,. Total,
$551, 200 for the biennial period, or
not to exceed $275,600 for this year.
Taking this new $275,600 from the
present excess of $679, 528.77, leaves
$403, 928.77 more to the public schools
in 1917 than they received in 1916,
provided the receipts for the next
four months equal the receipts for
the same four months in 1916.
But these figures do not take into
consideration any increase in the
school fund because of the increased
State revenues. For example, the
collateral inheritance tax which form
erly went to the University, will now
go into the general revenue fund, and
the public schools will receive at
least $150,000 this year and annually
hereafter from that source. In addi-
ton to the other revenue measures
of the Gardner program will yield in
creased allotments to the public
schools. In fact, as one-third was CIV
en- to the schools, it was necessary to
raise SO to get So for other State pur-
poses. Including the new revenue, the
lowest estimate is that the public
schools will receive $1,000,000 more
from the State during the biennial
period, than they have ever received
during any previous biennial period,
even after the special aids above not
ed, are paid out of it.
There is no disposition anywhere to
reduce the amount of money going
from the State to the public schools.
One third of the revenues, increased
