MONTGOMERY, Ala. Oct. GA slight increase in the general educa- ton fund for the year beginning Octo- Der 1, 1924, over the preceding year was shown in figures today from the state department of education, announc- ing the apportionment of the general education fund among the various coun- ties. The increase amounted to cents per capita. Figures made available as to the 1924 school census showed q small increase in the number of white children and a decline in the number of colored children between z and 21 years of age, as compared with the last school census, taken in 1922.
 The total of the general education fund for the year 1924-25 amounted to $3, 300, ,S05.32 The slight increase shown over last year raised the per capita distribution of the fund from $4.33 in 1923-24 to $4.31a for each child enumerated, for the present year.
 Some Counties Lose
 It was pointed out, however. that this does not mean that every county will receive as it's share larger amount than last year. The loss of some cOun- ties in enumeration as shown by the 1924 census will offset the amount gained by the increased per capita. Figures on the 1924 school census showed a total of 803.179 children be- tween the ages of and 21, as com pared with 750,S05 at the last biennial census in 1922, showing a gain of 7,374. For white children, the figure was 494, ,- 715 in 1924, as against 4S5, 40 in 1922, gain of 9,275. The number of colored children decreased, the figure for 1924 being 30S, AGA and for 1922, 310,365, q decrease of 1901 colored children in the two-year period.
