Hennepin County Thinks It is Not Get
ting Square Deal on School
Apportionment
Redwood County Schools Drawing Near
ly as Much State Aid as the
Big County.
The Minneapolis Journal of April
1 made a war against the special
state school aid, which it termed a
"one-sided affair," and in publish
ing the article paid a silent compli
ment to Supt. S. J. Race of this
county, who has done so much to
wards building up the Redwood
county schools.
The special state school aid is
recognized as being about the only
"steal" that the country makes on
the larger cities, and it is justified
by the fact that the country con
tributes to and builds up the wealth
of the cities, and consequently the
latter should not object to having
a small portion of the money which
they take from the country sent
back there thru the distribution of
iie, school fund on an individual
igh school, or on a high grade
_ural school basis.
Senators and representatives from
the country always give their city
cousins the laugh when this appro
priation item passes at each session,
claiming that it is about the only
time that they are not able to "steal
back" what has been "stolen" from
them, and the game is not likely to
be abandoned.
The Journal article is given in
full, because it uses Mr. Race's Red
wood county school system almost
entirely as a "kicking block":
"Gross discrimination against the
cities results from the present sys
tem of special state aid to the high

"This is shown in a table pre
pared for the coming report of
State Superintendent J. W. Olsen.
The table gives the number of such
schools receiving aid in each county
of the state, the total amount of
snch aid paid to each county, the
total enrollment and the amount
of local school taxes raised in each
county.
"Special state aid is grveir by ap
propriation to schools that pass the
requirements of the state high
school board. The money comes out
of the general fund of the state,
raised by direct taxation, and to
which Hennepin county contributes
nearly 18 per cent. Yet Hennepin
county got only $14,889 out of the
$450,813 paid last year as state aid,
or a little more than 3 per cent.
"The table shows 174 high schools
receiving $1,200 each 148 graded
schools receiving $525 each 287
semi-graded schools receiving $230
each 970 first-class rural schools re
ceiving $92 each, and 249 second-*
class rural schools receiving $37
each. The total enrollment for the
state was 430,005, so that the special
aid averaged about $1.05 a pupil.
"The total amount of special
school taxes and the local 1 mill
tax provided by law was $5,976,787.
The counties got back in special aid
on an average of 7.5 per cent, of
what they raised locally, without
counting the regular per capita dis
tribution of the interest from the
permanent school fund, which is
made only with reference to school
population.
"Where Hennepin county gets the
worst of it is easily seen. Minne
apolis received aid for its high
schools but not for its graded
schools, and so only got $4,80QL
Hennepin county got $14,889 altcp-f

thirty-one first-class rural and six
second-class rural schools. Henne-

MR. BADGER RESIGNS
The Weil-Known and Energetic Pastor
of the Presbyterian Church
Quits the Game.
i
Many Improvements and Gig Addition to
Church Made During his Good
Pastorate.
At the conclusion of last Sunday's
morning service at the Presbyterian
church. Rev. L. F. Badger made a
statement preliminary to the presen
tation from the church session of a
request that the congregation join
with Mr. Badger in asking the
Presbytery—in session at Luverne
to-day—to dissolve the pastoral re
lation between Mr. Badger and the
Presbyterian congregation at this
place. The congregation voted to
comply with the request of their
pastor, after 2iearing*his statement,
and elected Thos. March as com
missioner to represent the church
elder, Robt. Stewart having previ
ously been elected delegate from
the church session.
In his statement the pastor said
that he took this step after learning
that a number of the congregation
were opposed to his continuing with
this church another year—the church
year officially beginning April 1st.
He did not believe it to be his duty
to minister to a divided congrega
tion, and believed that it would be
to the best interests of both parties
to the contract to make a change.
Rev. L. F. Badger will have been
with this church four years next
month. During that time there
have been added to the church
holdings improvements to the base
ment and elsewhere costing over
$1,000 and a manse costing about
$2,500. The congregation numbers
fully 100 more than at the begin-
i
enrollment of 2.932, and raises $16,
262 in taxes."

ning of his pastorate, most of the
new accessions being the direct re
suit of the Sunday meetings. Mr.
Badger is generally admitted to be
a hustler and an eloquent preacher.
In concluding his remarks Mr.
Badger counseled the congregation
to get together and eliminate all
personal feeling or bitterness from
their counsels. He recognized that
the time comes to every pastor and
congregation when a change is de
sirable, and was willing to leave
to the congregation the matter of
fixing the date for making the
