 But No Gift Yet

Jefferson county heads the list of Alabama counties in the amount ex- pended per capita for each child of school age on school building and equipment with a total of $66.15 per child, according to a report made to the Jefferson county board of educa- ton yesterday morning by pr. N. k. Baker, superintendent of county schools.
 The lowest expenditure per child of school age on school building and equipment is Dallas county with only STOP. In a statement accompanying the report, pr. Baker recites that, while Jefferson county heads the list, yet with all the improvements during the last four years 1t has not arisen to any dazziing height. The average for the nation is $57, while some other states expended as high as s115 per child on school buildings and equipment.N
 Tt will be noticed as a rule that the counties with the largest per cent of negro problem population are the cnes which rank lowest. However, it must not be imagined that Jeffer- son county does not have her negro problem inasmuch as we have larger negro population than any ether county in the state"
