1857. It should be recognized that
some of the aids do meet the modern
trend of distribution, others are anti
quated and in many respects do not
distribute money on plan of equal
ization based on service which has
been accepted as fair basis for the
distribution of public school aids.
The plan proposed by the interim
committee is based on a classroom
unit above certain point for both
elementary and high school pupils.
The elementary pupil allowance is
briefly as follows: In school districts
enrolling ID or less pupils in average
daily attendance an amount of $50
per pupil is to be paid for each dis
trict providing the district meets
minimum legal requirements. For
districts having more than 18 pupils
in average daily attendance a class
room unit schedule is set up. One
classroom unit for the first 18 to 26
pupils and an additional classroom
unit for each additional 26 pupils or
major fraction thereof. The allow
ance for each classroom unit will
vary from s110 to $1,000 depending
on qualification of teacher and length
of school term
Classroom Units.
The high school allowance is based
on classroom units as follows: Two
units for the first 80 pupils in aver
age daily attendance with an addi-
tional unit for each 20 pupils in
average daily attendance or major
fraction thereof. The allowance for
each high school classroom unit shall
vary from $1,000 to $500 depend
ing on the number of special de-
partments such as agriculture, home
economics, ETC., that are offered by
each particular school,
Special provisions are included in
, the plan for transportations of pupils,
the education of exceptional chill
dren such as the blind, crippled, ETC.,
high school teacher training depart
ments, summer school for crippled
children, gross earning aid, and iso-
lated and distressed districts.
1t is proposed to finance the pro-
posed basic school aid plan by blan-
keting into one fund the income from
the permanent trust fund, amount
ing to about 100000, the income
from the state income tax, about
S16,000,000 and the income from a
l0-mill levy on each school district
for school purposes, disseminating

mandatory and the system of state
aids was designed to make equal
educational opportunity available ev-
eryWhere and to everyone concerned.
The committee states that it has been
apparent for some time that school
aid laws were not adequately and
efficiently doing the job they were
designed to accomplish. Despite in
creased appropriations each biennium,
educational opportunity was not
equal and local efforts to achieve
that end were far from equal
Submits Plan for Study.
In submitting this plan for study,
the committee wants to emphasize and
ask that it be considered on the
following basis:
/. Is the plan sound in recon-
mending that the state be made re-
sponsible financially for a basic
minimum program for the entire
state?
2. Is the plan, as proposed, prac-
ticable and will it more nearly if
placed in operation provide equal
educational opportunity for all of
the children of the state?
g. Is the plan sound and fair in
proposing that not only educational
opportunity but also educational cost
be more equitably distributed among
all?
f. Is the proposed schedule of
classroom unit payments on sound
ground when it sets up differential
in favor of service given.
A suggested basic minimum pro-
gram of education for Minnesota is
submitted by the committee cover
ing length of school year, school day,
qualification of teacher, up-to-date
curriculi, provision for adequate in
structional facilities, record keeping,
transportation of pupils, provision
for exceptional pupils, proper super
vision, adequate and comfortable
buildings, and recognizing above all
the important truth that public
schools are established and main
tanned first of all to teach children
the basic school only.
Dates Back to 1857.
At the present time, the appor-
tionment of state aids is made on
the basis of four types of aids; equal
ization aid, special aids, general aids
and income tax. Altogether approx
imately 81 different kinds of aids
are distributed. Some of these aid
laws were written as far back as
