WILSON Echolastic Year Begins Jtuly 1st and New Taxes Must, be Voted Before that Date. Many Schools Enjoying State Aid. State aid for most of the rural schools of 'Laurens county has been recetyed by the treasurer of the coun ty, stated Superintendent of Educa tion I. T. Wilson, yesterday. Of the sixty school districts in the county each hus qualined for state aid in oue way- or the other with the exception of six districts. Two of these districts have no special tax and of. course 'ill not be aided by the State. The fun damenital basis for giving state aid i. to give it to those districts which first help themselves by voting a special tax. Several other districts were not able to receive aid tiecause the district had only one crtficated teacher and estough money from the general school funds to run five motnhs. Discussing Laurens county's appor tionment of state aid, Mr. Wilson said that during the past -year the schools Qualified for and will receive from the State approximately $15,000.0o. Seven teen schools have qualified for term -extension and have each received 4100. So far twenty-ine schools have quall. 'fired unler the Rural Graded Act, four undely the Equalizing Law, four tin der the H1igh School Act, and five tin der' the Building Act. These schools are being aided very materially by the State. If it were not for this aid many schools in the county would have to close the session at once. This generous and Just attitude of the State ought to be an incentive to larger ef forts among the school districts of the county. The recent legislature has provided for more aid to 'worthy dis tricts for the next session. rho ap propriations are to be given as before to those districts which are qualilled by means of special taxes. The new school laws will be dlis cussed more fully at a later date, but. there are two 'phases of. the law that ought to be well grounded in the minds of trustes and patrons at the present -time. One of these is that teachers with a first-grade certificate are given prefernce in certain of the laws giving state aid. A district with an eight 11111 tax cannot get what it i4 entitled to unless each teacher in the sc)hool has a first grade certificate. Laurens county has failed to get sev eral hundred dollars this year because of this fact. The county would have a .much better rating if each teacher in the County held a first grade ccr tificate. The second important matter t'o he kept in mind by the different schools, Ie sail, is tile fact that the school year ends June the 30th and a now school year begins July the '1st. 'Progressive steps, therefore, for another year ought * to be formulated and con pleted before July tile first. I)istrict-s contemplating voting additional taxes must do so before the above (late if the district is to get credit for it an other year in the way of getting thie added .tax and of <qualifying for state aid. In fact trustees, according to the scholastic year, ought to have things; in readliness for teaching, if possible, by tile fir'st of .July. Teachers ought to be selected by that (late.
