LUBBOCK COUNTY SCHOOLS
GET $1O,7S7.50 STATE AID

Judge Moore, County Superintend-
ent of schools has been advised that
the State had provided for aid to
schools of Lubbock county in the
amount of approximately $10,7S750
which is, by far the largest amount
yet apportioned 20 schools of this
county and which amount is near the
limit Of which the State funds could
be expended. There are various rea-
sons for the big increase from the
State for the school term Of 1920
/ 81. One is of course, the doubling
/ Of the State apportionment from its
| former amount Of one million dol
/ lars. Another is that the apportion-
/ ment 10 districts on the scholastic
number was raised recently at a
meeting of the state board from SIS
/ per scholar to $3.50 per scholar, thus
making the amount 81 900 more for
| the schools Of Lubbock county as
| the census gives the schools that
! number Of student ages, mot lnclud-
| ing the three independent districts
One Of the biggest reasons for the
I large apportionment TO Lubbock
| county and one that should be rec
ognized by the patrons Of the schools
is the fact that this large amount
was derived directly through the dill
igent and efficient work Of the coun-
ty superintendent. In the three years
which Judge Moore has served this
county in the capacity Of County
Judge and Superintendent Of schools
there has been apportioned s25,-

an amount exceeding those Of other
years enormously.
The following amounts were APP
portioned: For the school year 1917
1s, S7,250; for 1888. S6,450 and
for 1920, S10,7S7.50 This last
amount is apportioned 10 the differ
ent school districts ag follows

S66750 and DO Is thought the amount
will be received alright
Thus from the fund from the state
app0rtionment and from the amount
allowed for 1000 student ages, to
gether with the county fund, there
is available an amount approximate
ing S41,00000 for the expenses Of .
carrying on the 20 schools Of this
county
