Encouraging word comes from Mr. I Public School Fund Apportionment.
J. M. Walker, president of the City! The County Hoard of Education met
National bank, who is in Texas for, hi* , nere Friday night and Saturday, the
principal work before the board being
the appointment of the public school
fund. The luw this year requires that
the boards apportion direct to the dis-tricts
and this necessitated a great deal
more work for the board than has been
the case heretofore. It was decided
to give $1.90 per capita to the schools—
'.he same as last year, and in addition
to set aside reserve funds of ?2,(MK) for
building purposes and $2,000 for aiding
weak districts in maintaining a four
months' term. When the work of ap-portionment
began, the advisability of
setting aside a reserve fund was shown
health. He has recently made grati-fying
gains in flesh and strength and
there is hope for still further improve-ment
in his condition.

has a very distinct bearing on the fur-ther
development of our city in more
than one respect. Mr. S. J. Collins,
until the new year general superintend-ent
of the eastern district of the South-ern,
had announced his intention of re-signing,
aud there was a possibility
that Greensboro would lose no little b\
the consequent changes, but the con-solidation
of the districts, making llii:.
the headquarters, left matters in a more
favorable state than had been antici-pated.
