Sought By Schools
New Plea BY System For
Additional Supplement
tary Appropriations
Will Pose Headache
For General Assembly.

The State Board of Education
has handed the General Assembly
another giant head ache that will
take $1.400.000 worth of financial
aspirins to correct.
Supplementary appropriations in
that amount are needed by the
state board and the various school
districts to pay teacher salaries
for increased enrollments and sal
aries for substitute teachers
No provisions was made in the
present budget for a reserve to
recompense districts with BOOM
ing school populations.
The school bill is the third one
given TO the General Assembly,
which is already over-appropriat-
ed and cannot legally appropriate
additional funds under present cir
cumstances.
Four school districts have ask
ed for more than 100000 each in
supplementary funds, the state
board itself needs a quarter of a
million dollars, and 3S other dis
tricts have financial needs rang
ing down to $3.50.
Dr. r. l.. Herbst, assistant state
superintendent for business ad-
ministration, has forwarded the
financial requests to the Joint FL
nance Committee.
He said this week that the state
boards needs break down to $780,
900 for substitute teachers salar-
les, $4,000 for transportation,
$25. 900 reserve for deficiencies,
and $4,000 each for upgrading
personnel and changing expert
ence schedule.

The black widow spider is a
medium sized spider being about

The abdomen is rounded, and
about the size of a green pea.
The color is coal-black, except
for a bright red mark on the

red mark varies greatly in size
and shape on different individ-

the specimens, the red mark
