State Board Sets Per Capita for Public Schools
The State Board of Education fixed the 1923 per capita apportionment at 12 dollars based on 1,265,000 scholastics, down from last year. A $2,000,000 set aside for contracts with the Textbook Commission reduces available funds, with about $600,000 remaining in the free text book fund by September 1. The board considered two estimates for textbook contracts and their impact on the school fund. November 8-10 marked the Young County Fair.
