HOW TO GET HELP
MANY RURAL SCHOOLS ARE AID.
ED IN CONSTRUCTION OF
NEW BUILDINGS.
STATE FUNDS APPROPRIATED
Community, County, and State Coop.
crate in Providing Means for
New Structures.

Columbia.-In the public school sec
zion of the general appropriation bill
one of the most helpful items provides
$4,000 to aid in the erection Of
school houses.
This law was enacted in 1910 with
an initial appropriation Of $4,000.
The building fund has been renewed
annually since except in 1913, when
lature
Rural District Benefited.
The greatest beneficiaries Of the
State and county school building acts
are the rural districts. Under these
laws any community desiring a new
school building must supply from reg
ular or extra sources so per cent of
the cost. The county supplies 25 per
cent and the State % per cent. The
amount Of extra aid allowable from
the county can not exceed 5000. In
case of consolidation, a bonus Of $50
may be added. The amount OF State
aid is also limited to 5000 except in
the case of consolidation when a bonus
or $50 may likewise be added. Thus
rural district erected new school
house at the cost of $1,000 furnishes
5000. receives $500 from the county
and $500 from the State If the schools
or two districts consolidate. the COM
munity supplies $500. the county $3.50
and the State $3.50
School House Construction.
Many boards Of trustees have built
or will build in spite Of this increased
cost. Every day brings to the State
"uperlntendent'S office new building
applications. One county superintend-
ent writes that nine new school houses
must be paid for partly by State aid
this spring. This is an exceptional
demand from one county. but every
indication points to the exhaustion Of
the State fund as usual.
brief summary Of State building
aid during the last eight years shows
how much has been accomplished ana
how much remains to be done:
