Excerpt from School Law Supplement This supplement to the school code of 1911 is made necessary because of the many laws touching upon educational matters enacted by the legislature of 1913. It will be ticed that many of the laws in this pamphlet refer to certain sections of the laws of 1911, consequently it will be necessary, to use this pamphlet in some cases with the last complete edition of the school code, (1911), in studying out or in attempting to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion in some of these acts. It will be seen that the legislators acted in sympathy with the movement for the consolidation of school districts. One chapter - 380 - offers a direct bonus to school districts that will unite or consolidate and thereafter maintain a consolidated school. Ather chapter fixes a minimum wage of $40, the least that can be paid to any teacher in the public schools. It is probable that the legislature looked upon this measure as one that would induce the consolidation of a number of small districts because of the annual increased expense of maintenance. In other words, they deemed that this act would be an incentive to discontinue small district schools. There are other chapters relating to qualifications of teachers that will be of interest to the teaching force. Especial attention is called to the chapter providing for the establishment of a teachers' training department in connection with the high schools of this state. Inducements are offered for the establishment of short winter terms of school to be maintained in connection with high schools. The state graded schools have received consideration, owing to the fact that in any such school where agriculture and some other industrial subject is taught efficiently, the district may receive ather $100 of special aid.
