Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twentieth Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of Montana, 1928
Abundant precedent has been available for the study of plans of dis tributing funds more generously to the districts where economic condi tions prohibit the provision of ample local revenues. Massachusetts as early as 1874 passed laws denying state aid to its wealthier districts. Massachusetts' example was followed twenty years ago by New Hamp shire, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Indiana. More recently a still larger number of states, among them Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Maryland, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin recognized that it is to the state's interest to see that a certain minimum educational offering is presented to all children, and also that it is the state's responsibility to see that this minimum program is provided with a tax burden as nearly as pos sible equalized.
