The legislative appropriation for high schools is $200,000, and this sum must be divided among nearly 400 of the schools, he said. “This will of necessity mean that the high schools will be largely supported by local coupty funds, just as they have been in the past, and county school boards will, in a number of counties, fi certain tuition fees for the supps of the high schools. These fees, how- ever, are for tuition solely, and not used for other purposes.” The average cost of high school instruction per student for 1922 was| $49.33, and will not materially differ this vear, he conctuded.
