State Fund Cut
May Hike Price
Of Pupils Milk
Roise Of One Cent
Seen for Nine
Arlington Schools

A penny increase in the price
OF milk sold to children at nine
Arlington schools Is being con-
sidered as the result of a recent
decrease in State-aid funds.
The Arlington School Board
yesterday was advised by School
Supt. T. Edward Rutter that the
school administration is losing
$25 day selling half-pints Of
milk at schools where lunches
are not provided.
Each bottle Of milk costs the
school seven cents. Two cents
formerly provided through Fed
eral funds distributed through
the State Department Of Educa-
ton. The children pay i've cents
per bottle.
Lost 500 on Milk.
Mr.. Rutter said State author
tiles told Arlington last week
that the State has reduced its
share to one cent a bottle. It
was estimated, therefore, that
the school system lost about 500
on the 10000 bottles of milk sold
during the first four days Of
school.
Board members said they will
act on the problem after finding
out whether the Federal Agricul-
ture Department has made any
other provisions for the milk
fund.
Supt. Rutter said the price Of
milk included In lunches sold at
other Arlington schools will not
be affected.
Enrolment Is 20,043.
School ofiicials. summing up
the weeks enrolment figures,
revealed that 20,043 students
were in Arlington public schools
last week and that 276 pupils
are enrolled in preprimary
classes.
Stanley v. Smith. school re-
search supervisor, said the pres
ent enrolment is three per cent
below what was estimated. He
added. however. that the total
Is expected to be 20,700 by
October !.
Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell,
