Urges Equalization Fund.

iktr tsuuditLdtION uuu.
The program also calls for an equal
i2ation fund by which the more veal
thy counties will assist the weaker
counties. A great deal of emphasis
is laid on this in the program, and the
principle is laid down that any county
which cannot, with school tax rate
of So cents, carry the purpoScd sched-
ule of salaries and allow reasonable
amount for other current expenses
shall have an allotment from the
equalization fund TO enable il to carry
the new program with 65-ccnt school
tax. II also is provided that if a poor
county is willing to tax itself in ex-
cess of 90 cents for current school eX-
penSeS it may use this additional
money to pay higher salaries than
are required by the minimum schedule
and can compete on more nearly equal
terms with the wealthier counties.
Much attention is paid in the pro-
gram to the high school situation and
the statement is made that normal in
creaseS in State aid for the support of
high schools. proportional to those
proposed for the elementary schools,
will require an additional $l50,000 of
State aid for 1929 and 1924.
Schools Increase 80 Per Cent.
For l914-l5 and l9l5-l6. according
to statement in the program, the
State aid was $l2S,000, and the num-
ber of high schools, all of which were
of the first and second groups, was
only ~. For the next two years the
State aid for high schools was Sl4O,-
900 and the number of schools was
20. For l9lS-l9, however, the number
of schools increased to SO and the
State aid amounted TO $l55,0O0. For
this and next year the number of
schools already has increased to l24
and the State aid to $4,000 for each
year. This is clear increase of so
per cent. in the number of schools
over last year.
In the last seven years, it it pointed
out, the high school enrolment has in
creased more than 100 per cent, the
enrolment of the last two years
showing an increase of more than
| 200 over the enrolment of the year
preceding; the number of schools ha.
increased IS per cent, the number of
teachers increased 1875 per cent, while
in the same period State aid has in
creased only 30 per cent

Sheriff Bridgeman partially bases
his opinion that the men that per-
