With a view to filling all classes in all depart­ ments a t the Ohio State fair which will be held here Aug. 23-29, the state board of agriculture has adopted a 35 per cent increase in all premiums, and in all depart­ ments. This announcement was offici­ ally made by State Fair Manager Ed Bath today, who also stated th a t another 35 per cent increase had been alloted to each depart­ ment head to cover increased costs of operation and plans for a greater fair; These increases, along with a reduction: in the general admis­ sion price for the Ohio State fair, were determined by the state hoard of agriculture at its meet, ing a couple of weeks ago, de­ pendent upon the passage by the Phone Xenia 1697W If no answer call Xenia 1495W2 BRYANT’S Rapid Delivery Service Prompt Service We Pick Up and Deliver Anything Anywhere in Cedarville, Xenia, Wilberborce or Yellow Springs OEAPraises Educational OutlokinOhio Ohio's 1,000,000 school children is much brighter as the result of greatly increased state financial aid and widespread support of bond issues and levies, Dr. H. F. Vallance, president of the Ohio today. Few states have done more than Ohio in school financing and edu­ cational standards; the recently enacted Baniels-Cramer school aid law represents “the greatest single step forward for Ohio edu­ cation since the school foundation law was originated 12 years ago," Dr. Vallance said. “The great problems facing our school system a re by no means solved,” he said, “but the action of the legislature has prevented the deterioraation of many schools and has give nail citizens renewed hope that we may event­ ually be able to assure every boy and gi#l an adequate education.” The Daniels-Cramer law in­ creases state school aid by $27,- 000,000 a year. The legislation, Dr. Vallance said, is extremely important in helping solve two of the most critical problems facing Ohio schools: 1. The minium level of educa­ tion guaranteed by the state will be raised by 50 per cent. This will help close the wide gap be­ tween educational opportunities available in financially handicap­ ped schools and those offered to boys and girls in more fortunate parts of the state. 2. Salary increases will be given all teachers, with the larg­ est increases going to teachers in the least wealthy school districts. At least 75 per cent of-the in­ creased state school aid must he used for increasing teacher sal­ aries. The minimum guaranteed edu­ cational level or “equalization aid” was increased from $67.50 to $101.75 per elementary pupil and from $81 to $122 per high school student. This does not constitute an outright grant of state money fo r the full amount, hut merely guarantees such a minium education program. I f the minimum amount of local school taxes required to participate in the school foundation program, plus the general or “flat” distri­ bution of state school aid, fails to attain the guaranteed level, then the state supplies the differ­ ence. The state finanical increase in “equalization aid,” however, is modified by the fact that the new law also raises the qualifying rate of local school taxes neces. sary for participation from three to four and one-half mills. Except in a few isolated cases, this will not require new taxes. Under the Daniels-Cramer law, the fla t distribution to all pupils %vas increased from $15 to $53.25 per elementary pupil and $54 to $64 per high school student. State money “O schools is fur­ ther increased approximately 71s per cent by the provision that state support in tlje future will be based on pupils in membership or enrollment rather than in at. tendance^ The provision that 75 per cent of the increase in state aid funds must he used to increase salaries of present teachers. Dr. Vallance said, may work a hardship in legislature of a sufficient appro­ priation to make the premium and departmental operation in­ creases. “We expect every department to be completely filled a t the 1947 Ohio State fair and we be­ lieve that the increase in the premiums will be an encourage­ ment to the people of Ohio to put forth their greatest effort in showing Ohio agriculture a t its best,” stated Director of Agricul. ture Frank Farnsworth. school classes where there ars al. ready an unusually large number of pupils per teacher. The money may be used fo r the salaries of additional teachers only a t the rate of one teacher per 30 addi­ tional pupils enrolled. About $20,000,000 of .the in­ crease will go for teacher salaries and the remaining $7,000,000 .will be nsed fo r salary increases of non-teaching employees, school equipment and maintenance. Other Important new legisla­ tion includes elimination of much of the complicated “red tape” which has discouraged school con­ solidation efforts, continuation of previous laws permitting special elections for local school levies, $ 2 , 000,000 fo r the purchase of school buses in equalization aid districts, and $ 2 , 000,000 for school building rehabilitation in the poorest school districts. “I t is expected that the Daniels Cramer law will aid in recruiting more teachers,” Pr, Vallance said. “The shortage of qualified teach- ers runs into many thousands. Our college and university stu­ dents have to date shown little interest in the profession. Many school buildings will soon be pack­ ed to overflowing under sharply increased enrollments. Certainly, the Increased sakjry levels will give the profession a higher eco­ nomic standing.” BoardLets Contract for Bookmobile The Greene county district library’s bookmobile project was a step nearer reality after the library board of trustees accepted two contractors bids fo r construc­ tion of the vehicle and also se­ lected a bookmobile librarian Tuesday night. A contract for a one and one- half ‘ton, flat-faced truck was awarded to the Lang Chevrolet company, Xenia, Miss Ruth Den­ nis, county librarian, announced. The chassis will be constructed by the Gerstensiager Co., Woo­ ster. Board members are still seeking proposals on the con­ struction of book shelves. Upon completion, the truck wiU be sent to Wooster where the body will be built on, the estimated time of construction of both truck and body to be be­ tween three and four months. The bookmobile will then he returned for cabinet work. Board members have selected Miss Elizabeth Hedenberg, coun. ty library extension worker a t Coshocton, as bookmobile librar­ ian. Miss Hedenberg received her library training a t Simons, col. lege, Boston.
