State figures showed that the
permanent school fund this month
had reached the astounding total
of STATISTICS. Practically the
entire amount was invested in
school bonds which brought $780,

Despite these riches, direct tax

districts in the state have been

found.
There now are 413 consolidated
school districts representing UNI
ion of 1441 separate districts. Con-
solicitations are going forward at
the rate of 35 per year, the super

Teacher certification in the

sThis partially is due to the large
number of those entering the pro-

fact that advanced standards be-

this reason, many were anxious to
obtain life certificates"
There now are 3O2 accredited
