STATE 5 FAILURE
TO PROVIDE FUNDS
HAMPERS SCHOOLS

School districts throughout the state
are being seriously embarrassed finan-
cially because of the failure of state
government officials TO distribute the
primary school fund this year as pro-
vided Ill the state law. approximately
$10.OOO,OOO Of this fund collected in
July. which should have been distrib-
uted in August has been used by the
state for other purposes at the expense
of the schools. This month the state is
distributing an amount equal to 81 per
child instead of $50 per child which
should have been distributed. As a re-
suit school districts without sufficient
operating reserve will have TO borrow
funds, If they can, while the state con-
tinues to distribute the funds specifi-
cally earmarked by the state cOnstitu-
tiOn for education, in hOmeOpath
doses. Districts cannot legally borrow
against the amount of state funds they
expect to receive. They can borrow
only on anticitated taxes which have
been asses ed. Most districts have not
as yet assessed such taxes and there
fore will not be able to borrow money.
In many districts this will mean that
teachers and other employees will go
unpaid until money can be obtained
from taxes
In WyandOtte the Board of Educa-
tiOn will receive $1,000 this month
instead of $4,000 due them. Since the
operating cash reserve as Of June 30
was only $4,000 it will be difficult to
operate under the present distribution
of funds. In order to operate within
safe limits there should be an Operat-
ing balance of $4,000 as Of June 80.
The use by the state for other pur-
poses or funds set aside by the consti-
tuition can not be defended any more
than misuse or juggling of funds by a
school district can be justified. The
example set by the government Of the
state is not happy one for local divi-
siOnS of government.
The Department Of City Superin-
tendemtS in session at Traverse City
last week strongly protested to the
state government against this diversion
of funds.

continue as he had planned.

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
AT DELAWARE

The Every Evening of Saturday
says: Perhaps yesterdays Newark
letter does not make quite clear
what Governor Biggs proposed at
the semi-annual meeting Of the
board of trustees Of Delaware Col
lege. The Governors motion, which
prevailed by the vote of 10 to 4,
was that a committee of five be
appointed by the chair, for the
purpose of making inquiry wheth-
er or not the trustees could pur-
chase the residence and 10 acres
of land contiguous to the college.
The object he has in view is the
securing of a site for the erection
of a ladies halP', to be presided
over by matro, in which to
quarter female students so that
they may attend recitations at the
college; involving restoration OF
the cooperative educational facil-
tiles of the former system, while
providing a separate home for the
girl students. In furtherance OF
the plan, the General Assembly
will probably be asked to pass q
bill setting apart for this purpose
one tenth of the $S7 900 state en-.
dowment of the fund, and one sew
enth of the annual SIS, ,000"Hatch
appropriation.
