INTERPRETIVE REPORT

tribute heavily to the Federal
Treasury and bonus pay
ments" to provide special assist
ance to low-income States. Un-
der the Republican plan, Spon-
sored by Senators Clifford Case
of New Jersey, Cooper of Ken
lucky and Javits of New York,
North Dakota and Oklahoma,
with nearly identical resources,
each would have received $40
per public school pupil. The
administration plan, for SINH
lar reasons, would have given
North Dakota $24.60 per pupil
and Oklahoma $24.39. But the
committee Democrats knocked
out the floor" and thereby in
creased the spread in benefits
between the very rich and the
very poor States.
Two Other Formulas
2. Both the administration
and the Republican formulas
distributed funds on the basis
of average daily attendance in
public schools. AS President
Kennedy said, nonpublic
school children are rightfully
not counted in determining the
funds each State will receive
for its public schools" But the
committee Democrats decided
to count all children Of school
age. thereby increasing the sub
sidy for States with large num-
bers Of private and parochial
school pupils or with large
numbers Of truantS.
3. AS these changes worked
out, % States, includin g
North Dakota. gained money,
two we're unaffected. and 26, in
cluding Oklahoma. lost money.
To deal with this political prob
lem. the committee Democrats
decided to increase the size of
the first-year authorization to
$3.50 million from the 1866 mil
lion Mr.. Kennedy proposed and
the S693 million the Republi-
cans recommended. By increas-
ing the cost in this way, they
were able to provide dollar in
creases for all but two States
over the amounts the President
and his Budget Bureau advisers
had urged.
This. however, did not alter
the fact that 26 States would
receive a smaller slice Of the
total Federal pie than they
would have under the admin
istration formula.
Result Of Formula Change
AS a result of the rejiggering
of the formula by the COM
mittee Democrats, 8 Of the 10
lowest-income States received
a smaller share Of the Federal
funds than they would have un-
der the administration plan.
OF the 10 States with Dem.
ocrats on the committee, five
gained increases in their share
Of the Federal funds and five
suffered decreases. The net re-
suit was that slightly more
than one-third Of the increase
over the amount recommended
by Mr.. Kennedy for the first
year-$62.2 million Of Sl84
million-went to the 10 States

cided OKlanoma WOul0 receive
$25.70 per pupil and North
Dakota. S35.97. How come?
The answers to these uues-
tions are part of the controversy
over the merits Of rival dis
tributlon formulas" and equal
ization plans" that will occupy
a large part Of the debate
starting tomorrow in the Sem
ate on Federal aid to educa-
ton.
1t sounds like dull stuff
and it is certainly technical
but the example of Oklahoma
and North Dakota shows what
these decisions can mean in
terms of the benefits to indi-
vidual States and the ultimate
costs to all taxpayers.
The Basic Question
The basic question is this: If
the Government starts handing
out money for education, will
it be distributed on a pork
barrel" basis or with some re-
lation tc need?
Neither North Dakota nor
Oklahoma appears to have seri-
Gus current problems in eduea-
tion. The official statistics of
the United States Office Of Ed
ucation show that 9l,552 teach
ers across the country were
working last fall with subStand-
ard credentials. Oklahoma had
none and North Dakota only
"a. Neither State had any pu-
pills in part-time classes. The
classroom shortage" in the two
States combined was one-fif-
tieth OF the national total and
both States planned this year
to build enough classrooms to
meet the immediate problem Of
"exceSs enrolment"
Opponents of Federal aid
might argue that these States
need no outside help. But the
hackers Of Federal assistance
are committed to the belief that
every State has or will have
problems in education, and
therefore every State should re-
ceive money.
Plans Vary
How much? There they begin
to differ among themselves. Re-
publican advocates of a "foun-
dation plan" distribution sys-
tenn would give North Dakota
IS cents of every $1O0 in Fed
eral grants; Oklahoma, Sl.33.
The Kennedy administration
proposed giving North Dakota
Al cents Of each $100 and Ok
lahoma, $l.79.
But the Democratic majority
Of the Senate committee han
ding the bill last week rejected
both these plans and substi-
tuted an equalization formula"
Of its own that, surprisingly,
raised North Dakota's share to
So cents Of every 500 and cut
Oklahoma's to $1.48.
Such changes we're not un-
common. AS a result of the
committees work, some States
shares of the available funds
gained up to So per cent while
others lost UP to 38 per cent Of
their shares. More States lost
than gsined.
What the committee Demo-
Gratis did was this:

and the Republican formulas

For transportation, the State is
allowing Chardon School $48, 8,689
this year. Last year approximate
ly $65, $50 was spent, about SIT 900
more than the minimum require
ments anticipated by the experts

are not considered excessive for
the thousands of miles the Char
don buses travel. For economy the
board will discuss possibility Of
limiting field trips.
Because of possibility that State
or Federal building funds might
become available, Frank Scho-
field, county superintendent, has
recommended to the board that no
time should be lost in selecting
preliminary architect sketches for
new Junior High School building
and necessary additions to the

ready to take advantage of any
emergency financing that might
be forthcoming in the next six
months or a year.

There were several visitors and

some criticism expressed over
the fact that while a pupil may
be high in grades in academic SUBJ

roll if a poor showing is made in
physical education.
There was some discussion as
to having typing taught and a
