7. State Plan Of Appropriations.

The last legislature made many
important and sweeping changes
in our school law. The sO-called
State High Schools, with their
special High hoolappropriations
were placed on the same footing
with other schools, their special
appropriations being abolished.
The distinction between town
and rural schools, so far as
appropriations of public school
money are concerned, were done
away with. The law now re-
quires that every school be given
sufficient money to pay its teach
ers and expense for six months
at a salary scale fixed by the
State. Whatever school term
any district or town has beyond
this six months must be paid for
out of district or town special tax
funds. Under this law the town Of
Rockingham will dra;7 appropriations
from Public School funds for six
months salary for every one Of its
teachers, white and colored, from the
first grade up through the last year
of the high school. If any school
in it's salary scale exceeds the
scale fixed by the county and
state, that school must make up
such excess out of its own special
tax funds. Rockingham will draw
from next years County and State
