Illinois Teachers Will Make a Fight in
the Next Legislature for Twenty
Million Dollar Fund
Present Appropriation by the State Is Entirely
Too Small and the Cause of
Education Suffers

Illinois school teachers will make a
big fight in the next legislature for an
annual school fund of $2O,OOO,O0O, ac-
cording to r. G. Moore. secretary of
the Illinois State Teachers associa-
ton.
With S20,000,000 year as their goal,
the teachers plan to go before the
legislature with the claim that the
boost given the fund by the Fifty-sec-
Ond general assembly was insufficient
for the needs of the state school sys-
tenn. The fund was increased from
$4,000, 900 to $S,OOO,OOO this year
Through their legislative lobbies the
teachers obtained an increase of ST.
100000 annually from the legislature
in 1911. Sending lobbies to every ses-
sion of the legislature, they gained in
creases which boosted the fund to $3-
100000 in 1913, s4,000,OO0 in 1915,
and s6,0OO,OOO in 1919
In their campaign for 1919 the as
sociation set S10,000000 year as their
goal Coming back this year, they
asked for s2O,OOO,OOO, and when the
annual meeting is held here Dec 28
to 80 the legislative program will in
clude a renewed demand for the
amount.
Other features of the legislative
program which the association will
take before the next legislature in
clude: Development of continuation
schools for children in employment

a compulsory attendance law can be
made effective for children up to 18
