Announce Dates Of X-Ray Units Work Here

The announcement also said
that prevention is better than
cure. In prevention of tubercu-
losis, mass X-ray surveys have
been found among the most eff
fective measures. 1t is hoped,
therefore, that everyone will take
advantage of this opportunity to
protect his health and the health
of his family and community.
"The menace of tuberculosis
lies largely in the fact that a
person can appear perfectly
healthy and feel fit and yet have
the disease. When detected in
its early stage it can be cleared
up fairly quickly and the person
returned to his employment. The
surest way of finding out wheth-
er one has tuberculosis is
through X-ray examination. Each
person found to have a shadow
of the disease may then immedi-
ately receive the necessary at
tention.
"The survey has yet another
benefit. 1t will greatly arouse
public awareness to this insidious
disease. With this awareness

CRAFT ANALYzES NEW
SCHOOL LEGISLATION

Analysing measures for public
education in Montana as passed
at the last session of the legis-
lature, Supt. Fred w. Craft of
the Laurel school system, speak
ing at a meeting of the Rotary
club Tuesday, asserted that the
legislature came far short of
what was wanted. Instead of so
per cent support from the state
as a whole, the state will prob
ably be contributing less than a
third of the cost, with the new
law only a temporary measure.
The complaint was that main
tenance of schools at the de-
sired levels is often too great
a burden for many of the indi-
vidual districts and the so per
cent support proposed to the leg
islature would have spread the
cost to a greater extent over the
entire state. The statement con-
cerned elementary and secondary
schools.
Graft said the aid now provid-
ed will be from a surplus built
up in past years. When the
surplus is used, or if a recession
should set in, what will the leg
i~slature then do? he %querried.
Washington, which has a sales
tax and large funds, has long
been able to hire teachers away
from Montana because of Wash
ington's more satisfactory fl
nances. The inference a evil
IDENTIFY that Montana must at
some time adopt a system of
school financing commensurate
with preceived needs.
Provisions for a foundation
fund from the state, for dis
tricts with 600 elementary en-
rollments, indicates $172 per pu-
pil. With 760 in Laurel for next
wear the figure should be $780,
72O. This includes junior high
school, a part of the elementary
system. A 5-mill levy against
property, other district sources of
income, and contributions which
the speaker enumerated should
bring the districts contribution
to about $4,000.
But the state finds itself I'M
able to provide the foundation
fund as visioned and will con-
tribute about $4,000 or 80 per
cent of the program, making the
foundation fund about $4,000
short. To make up the differ
ence the district, now authorized
to do so, may have to make an
11-mill levy in addition to the
previously mentioned 5, a total
of 16 mills.
Among needs confronting the
district are one, possibly two,
teachers and more housing,
the latter probably temporarily
until something permanent can
be provided. III,
