COUNTY GETS $505.33 FROM 4 STATE BOARD Represents State's Share of Cost of Supervision in Rural Schools Martin County this week received $505.33 from the State Equalization Board as its share of the supervisors' fund. The money" received here is part of an allotment made recently when the State Board of Equalization approved the' allowance, of $37,725.18 for par ticipation in the cost of supervision in the rural schools of 45 counties. The money will go to pay one-third the cost of rural school supervision in these counties. This is the third year in which the State has been assisting the counties pay the cost of their rural supervision in the belief that better supervision of teachers means better instructional service to the children and hence bet-,, 1 ter taught, according to Leßoy Ma/-1 tin, executive secertary of the Board j of Equalization. Prior to 1929 the counties that had rural supervision paid the entire cost themselves. But the 1929 legislature, in passing the Hancock bill, provided that the Board of Equalization should thereafter ap propriate sufficient money from the equalization fund to pay one-third the cost of supervision in any or all coun ties that would pay two-thirds of the the cost. This provision was retained in the 1931 school law.

A system of State-owned ref- I uges was developed, each refuge sur- I rounded by an area oil which hunt -1 ing regulated by State law. ' Under tliet protection Pennsylvania's deer multiplied rapidly.

The deer | herd now- far exceeds the carrying | power of their wild range, and — forced by hunger—they have "become appall ingly destructive to crops, orchards, and the "plantations" of young seed ling trees set out by the Department ' of Forests and Waters for reforest ing. And even after all their depre dations on crops and orchards, large I numbers of them, especially fawns, die |every wirfter of starvation ...
