M. [McCully, as istant superintendent <•( public instruction. "This will be shown by the census to be taken in all of the school districts next month," he said. It is the theory of Washington's state school law, the 'Barefoot Boy* bill, that there should be provided }l'l i>ach year for the education of each ■h.i'l on the census rolls. Actually the amount falls short. There are levers! reasons for this,one being that another provision of law limit ■ the tax in any district to five mills, which is not enough in a number of instances. "This state docs not stint itself in its expenditures for education. Aside from the large appropriations for the state university, Pullman, the nor mal schools at Whatcom, Elleiuburff, Cheney, the state I the la t fiscal year, lUO3-4, expended for its common schools. $4,148,729.82. "Of this amount $2. 246, «62. was teachers' salaries. This year the mounts will Lie considerably greater. More than 4,500 teachers are employed in these schools, and the average at tendance of pupils is 110,774. "The last fiscal year closed with an increase of $1,000,000 in value over the previous year of all the school proper ty in the state, the figures being $1. --732,990. This year will -how a cor responding increase.
