EARLY CLOSE FACES
SCHOOLS OF INDIANA
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. II. Many
schools in Indiana are threatened with
early closing this year, which state
officials say can only be escaped by
the state legislature making good a
deficit of almost $30O,00O in the state
aid fund.
The officials say some schools will
be forced to close before the compile
tion of the minimum six months ele-
mentary and eight months high school
courses required by law.
Requests from 155 school corpora
tions in 27 counties have been filed
with the state department of educa-
tion, asking for total of s551.799 or
s292.919 more than Is available for
state aid. The money is claimed by the
school corporations as necessary to
complete the minimum school year.
The requests are almost twice as great
as a year ago, and the fund available
for the schools is somewhat smaller,
due it is said, to the state tuition tax
falling by $4,000 to raise as much
money as year ago.
