TO CARE FOR MAINTAINING
 OURSCHOOLS

SACRAMENTO, Jan. II Cby Asso- ciatcd Prcss). ).-Grcater support from the state for elementary schools in i California was urged in the biennial report mad" public by Edward Hyatt state superintendent of public instruc- ton. A tendency tu shit the Innn
 cial burden of caring fer the srhu"'
 from state to county and county to district has made California rural schools merely training schools for the larger contcrs." with "a constant coming and going of inexperienced teachers" the report said.
 The state apportionmont to ele-
 m"ntary schools has increased I5.5 1 per cent in the last twelve years" it
 was pointed out in reconciliation"
 of Job Wood. Ir.. statistiCian of the
 department. included in the report
 creased. cost of education has been steadily shifting from the state To
 the county and tn" district In the
 larger c"ntrra the h.E cities have been . interested in low county tax rates for 1 the reason that county funds ar" dis. i tributrd to all districts of the county 1 Because of th;, the cities are willing
 to have d heavy district tax and l lower county rate
 | "Thc district tax will not suffice ! to meet the demand for trained
 teachers. In many mountain commu-
 mites the valuation of property is so 1 low that tn" tax limit allowed by law i for special taxes would not produce i $l00 a year"
 | The report states that there is no sur"r way to build up the city and de ] plct" the country than to have long terms of school with trained teach
 CTS in the city and short terms with 1 inexperienced teachers and low sal aricsg in the country"
 l Pointing out that the state gives out on d teacher basis" $25O per ] teacher and apportions the re
 maining money of the state school fund on the basis of the average daily ! attendance of the previous year, the
 report shows that from 1910 to 1918
 the rate per pupil on average daily at l tendance has fallen from $lOlG to i $S23
 Tt will be noted." the report con tinucs. that there has been d great increase in the enrolment in high schools during the past twelve years.
 the number of schools increased from l79 to 3ll, and the teachers from l,lH9 10 ASH, or 305 per cent; enroll
 ment of pupils from l7,57S to l26.915. or &G2 per cent; the receipts increased from $&,75G.655.46 to $l3,S47,61444. or 269 per cent
 "When the total receipts are di- yided by the total enrolment of 1907
 we have $l36.22 per pupil, or fall ing off on receipts of $3l.iO per pupil. | This is most excellent showing. as it indicates plainly that the greater
 the number of pupils the less the cost
 per individual. The total expcndi-
 lures for high school has been in
 creased from $2,529 ,GS0.79 to $lI.432.- 32S.25, d gain of $S,9O2.647.5G. This
 makes the cost per pupil enrolled in 1918 $7&.S9, while in 1907 it was $65.0l, or gain of $$.SS. The valua-
 tion of property has risen from $5,62G-
 200 in 1907 to $29, ,7O&,ii3 in 1918. or

This was after demands for radical

ference will be held next week, ac-
eording to r 5. Bowen, vice president

sonable," said Goodman Men alb

The working conditions on the
road are intolerable, making IL
a physical impossibIlity for trainmen
on the Washington Railway ana
Electric Company to continue at the
present rate. These men actually
work about eight hours a day, but
the swings. during which time they
are OF duty for a few hours at a
time, while preventing them from
doing other work. keep them in the
service Of the company from sixteen

Bowen said that the company's in
ability to meet the demands for in

sideration OF betterment of working
hours.
The award Of the War Labor Board
was to continue until peace was
proclaimed by the President" said
Bowen. -Readjustments in the wage
scale, according to the award. were
not to be made until after October
