"The policy of direct state appropriation
for the elementary schools
was introduced in 1909. The term
extension act of 1910 crystalized the '
experiment of the preceding year.
The law helps especially the sparsei
n r
lv settled rural districts. It is based
nor
on local taxation, regular school income
and teachers' salaries. The act
requires a minimum tax of two mills. t
i 'Tin extension aid ran not be
granted to a district whose regulat '' 11
Ike
fends will support a term of five
months. The teachers' salary in '''''
every instance is fixed by tin- local '
hoard of district trustees. Since
these are mostly one-room, oneteacher
schools, they require good ron
salaries, because they ought 10 have ' 'r'
competent teachers
"The term extension act was followed
by the rural graded school law '
of 1012. This latter act now carries r
an annual appropriation of $200, '
000 and is perhaps the most serviceable
of all public school appropria- am'
tions. The unfortunate necessity, ,M '
however, that originally justified the 'art
term extension appropriation still ,,r"
exists. Population conditions make *'n'
consolidation impossible in many 111
communities. Such localities are '''
