MORE SCHOOL FUNDS NEEDED
Increased Attendance at Public

Smith's Business Transacted at
Regular Meeting of Board of Ed
ucation At their regular monthly meeting
Monday the county board of educa
tion certified to the county commis
sioners the estimates of funds needed
to provide 4-months' schools for the
county and requested the county com
missioners to make an additional
levy of five cents on the hundred dol
lars worth of real estate and 15 cent3
on each taxable poll. This will raise
the levy on property for school pur"
poses from 20 to 25 cents on the $100
worth of property and the poll tax
for school purposes rrm $1.31 to $1.
46. The amount of general school
fund will be increased by this addi
ticrd levy from $64,000 to between
$55,000 and $60,000.
In making estimate of funds need
to provide 4-months' school term for
county schools for the year beginning
.Tulv 1. next. Sept. J. R. Poole found
that additional funds amounting to
$9,325 would be needed, the boara
approved this estimate and the coun
ty commissioners are requested to
provide the amount needed. The
county commissioners will meet again
Monday of next week to consider this
matter. The county cannot share in
the Steffi annronriation unless 4-
montVis' school terms are provided.
The proposed levy willadd to the
school fund $9,211. Unless this in
crease is made the county will not
share in the State fund, from which
is received a little over $8,000 this
school year; that is, the county will
lose more than $3,000 in school mon
ey if the increased levy is not made.
Increased interest in education and
the compulsory attendance law have
combined to make sucn an increase
in the attendance upon the schools
of the county that more funds must
be provided to accommodate tne enn
Hrn. More teachers must be em
ployed, more desks must be provid
cd etc.
