SCHOOL MATTERS EXPLAINED
Trustees of School District No. Say
Finances Are in Good Condition.

In order to correct misunderstand-
ing among some of the taxpayers of
Independent School District No. 4,
concerning the districts financial
condition, the board submits the fol-
lowing statement:
Two years ago the board was con-
fronted with the same problem of in
creasing expenditures without a cor
responding increase in revenue as pre-
vailed throughout the country We
suggest an instance of this fact that 40
school districts in the state of Idaho
were forced to ask permission to raise
their school taxes above the legal
rate.
The salaries of teachers were raised
33 per cent, which condition was gem
eral all over the Northwest We had
to meet this raise in order to MAIN
tain the efficiency of our schools and
keep our teachers.
AS further evidence of the increase
in operating costs we might state that
wood advanced from $4 to 81 per cord
stationary and supplies advanced so
per cent; janitors' salaries rose from
$50 to $125 per month and the opera
tion of school wagons increased SIPS
per month.
On August 1st, 1921, the treasurer's
report shows an overdraft of $4,000.
This sum is not a real deficit for the
following reasons:
1. Purchases on the new school
site authorized by last years bond
issue aggregated $4700 This sum was
taken from the current expense fund
and will be reimbursed in full when
the bonds are sold.
2. The sum Of $2269 was expended
for new building and equipment OF
the same. This expenditure was made
necessary because of crowded condi-
tions in the grade building
3. The Northern Pacific taxes have
not been paid The school district has
coming to it from this source $1,000.
The school board had included this
sum in it's estimate of income
For the ensuing year the board has
affected a substantial saving in its
purchase of wood, in it's janitors sal
aries, and in the operation of it's
school wagons. This will approx
mate saving of $2100.
The income for the ensuing year as
result of raising the high school stu
dents tuition, which will be paid b.
the school districts from which stu
dents come, will be at least $4,000.
The above statement shows that the
school district is in sound financial
condition.
Our high school is not only on the
state accredited list but is one of the
IL schools in the state admitted to the
Northwest Association of Secondary
Schools and Colleges. We believe we
have weathered the financial stress of
the past two years. We will endeavor-
to maintain the present high efficiency
OF our schools with the means at our
command. Respectfully submitted,
