On Virginia Education
Fund , Says Miller
RY III. Assesia,sd Press

RICHMOND, Va, May l3.-G.
Tyler Miller. State superintend-
ent' of public instruction. said yes
terday the States minimum edu-
cation program fund is being dis
tributed according to the law.
Mr.. Miller's statement was made
in a reply to DR.. William H.
Stauffer. director of research for
the State Chamber of Commerce,
who last Sunday criticized the
methods Of distributing some
school funds.
The superintendent ALSO re-
ceived an opinion from Attorney
General j. Lindsay Almond. jr.,
which said the procedure followed
in distributing the minimum edu-
cation program fund appears to
be in direct compliance" with the
provision of the law.
The present procedure followed.
Mr.. Miller said, Is in conformity
with that used when the plan
first was approved by the Cen
eral Assembly in 1916 when DR..
Dabney S. Lancaster was State
superintendent of public instruc-
ton.
MIR. Miller said DR.. Stauffer,
who also is a member of the Leg
islative Commission studying
State and local revenues and ex-
Ipenditures, had incorrectly la
beled the minimum education
fund as a school equalization
fund.- He added
1T is evident that DIR. Stauffer
has reached incorrect and base
less conclusions that State school
officials and the State Board OF
Education have disregarded tine
law governing distribution Of the
minimum education program
fund and that they have
made an illegal distribution OF
/ this fund. totaling s4o5.470.3l
during I947-s."
DR.. Stauffer stated that last
year only IL counties and cities
met the provision of the law
making local rate equivalent TO
10 cents on the 500 true value
Iof locally taxable wealth. . pre-
requisite to participation in the
school equalization fund.
