Themselves to Share in Fund
Kent County Levy Court at its last
meeting decided to have the Sabbath
Schools of the county comply with
Chapter SO Of the Revised Code of
1915, said chapter providing for the
appropriation of $500 in support of
the Sabbath Schools of the county. In
order for Sabbath Schools to avail
themselves of a share in this appro-
priation,it is necessary that the teach
ers or Superintendents of the Sabbath
School make a report verified by the
certificate of two creditable citizens |
stating that the school has been regu-
| larly held for more than three months |
in the year for which the report is |
made, and the average number of |
scholars in such school during such |
period. Sabbath Schools in the larg- |
er towns, which as desire, may waive |
their proportion of this appropriation |
and direct the Levy Court to appro-
pirate the money to the small and
poor schools throughout the county.
The law provides for the apprOpria
tion of $500 annually and this to be
divided among all the schools in the
county. These reports should be in
the hands of the Clerk of the Peace
not later than December first.
