EXTENSION Ah SCHOOLS AMI Superintendent Of t Much Money Countie: The State superintendent of ed ation paid last week all legal a lications for term extension aid /oak schools. The amount disbui d was $42.4 7 8. Payment was inai o 490 districts in 39 counties. This appropriation is designed engthen the school term in any dl rict unable to run five months?< ts regular funds, provided such di rict first levies a two-mill speci chool tax. Regular school fun mbrace four items; district coll? ions from poll tax, district colle ions from dog tax, apportionme o any district from the constit ional three mill county tax and tl ash balance on hand from i ources July 1. 1917, the beginnii d the scholastic year 1917-18. T otal of these four items must livided by the total expenditure f ne month in order to show wheth he session can he malnlainoil t Ive months on regular funds, very district the board of truste .lso has the amount collected fro he local taxes. Districts quallfyii or State aid thus supplement th< egular funds both by their loc axes and by the amount receiv rom the State. The law limits the payment Itate aid to any district to the su qual to the proceeds of the loc evy but no district may recei nore than $100 from the State, tot a few districts the local tax wo mills produces less than $2 lence in such districts the amou if State aid is limited to a pittani Wherever the local tax raises mo han $100 the aid received from t Jtate is less than the amount c ected from the local taxes. A lar najority of the term extension d ricts now levy more than two mi ir.d some of them pay eight mills irder to receive the maximum tlOO State aid. The term extension law was ? icted first to protect the we ichools financially and numerical V large number of schools are we because of the lack of money, t his deficiency may be correct hrough local taxation and State a Another class of schools is weak t ause of sparse population or rou opography. Most of the oi eacher schools of the State are n< n communities where boys and gi vould have to travel too long d ances to reach a better school. In tw such sparsely settled localiti ransportation would enable ch iren to attend the consoliilat chool in the next neighborhood b he expense of such transportati a also prohibitive. The dwindling number of o eacher schools reduce annually t lumber of term extension distric n some instances the communi las consolidated its schools, nost cases, however, the higher al tax together with the increas iniount of State aid has enabled 1 iistricts to establish and maintain ural graded school.

TO THE WEAK 1 HJNTS TO $42,478 | Education Paid Out That ' In Thirty-Nine s Last Week u- has been as beneficial as the lengthp ening of the school term itself, but to the progress made along both lines s- has been highly significant and most de serviceable. If any district will now levy a sufficient tax to raise $100, io ana lr the trustees of such districts Is- will use their regular funds in the 3n employment of competent teachers Is- at living salaries, there would be no al reason why every term extension disds trict might not receive $100 State >c- aid and run its school seven or eight 'C- months. But if any term extension nt district is trying to crowd into one u- class room, under one teacher, 50 or he more pupifs, such a district should ill vote a local tax of four mills or more, thereby qualifying for a larger he amount of State aid and for the embe ployment of two teachers, or Unsettled Problem. er In Beaufort and-. Charleston counor ties not a single district made appll*n cation for term extension aid. In es Berkeley, the illness of the county 'm superintendent has prevented the preparation and forwarding of the >ir necessary papers. In Cherokee, the lack of teachers has prevented local ec* trustees from opening their schools this fall. The county superintend?' I ent from Lancaster has filed no apim I plication for his county and the 'il county superintendent from Oconee claims that his applications were 1? lost in transit. State Superintendent J. E. Swearlngen deeply regrets his inability to pay these applications nt from the appropriation for the curie. ronf TV-" ? ~ * nil I > vuv / vui . m. uc iiujc iui mint; icriu ire | extension claims expired November ^ejl5, but the State superintendent has ?'~ j exhausted every effort in trying to secure the missing papers and in indulging lardy trustees and county llK i superintendents. If the legislature n renews the term extension appropriof ation in 1918, these deferred or 1 missing applications will probably ;n- be protected by the legislature. The ak State superintendent will make this ly. recommendation in order that the ak applications may be considered in >ut April and May of next year, ed During the scholastic year 1916id. 17, 693 districts received term ex>e tension aid. The present payment, gh therefore, fails to reach some 200 le- districts. Perhaps in 125 of these, aw the trustees have been unable to emits ploy teachers and this shortage ere is- ates a serious situation, especially in i a the rural sections. 'es Payments by Committees.
