publication in the report of these hearings a few tables and charts showing in a general way how funds appropriated under this bill might be allocated to the several States.

Suggested changes in wording:

Page 4, line 6: Eliminate the words "State departments of education," and insert in their place "the State educational authority (hereinafter called the 'State authority')." This sentence would then read:

Any of the funds appropriated under the authorization contained in this subsection may be allocated by the National Board to the State educational authority (hereinafter called the "State authority") for surveys or other studies pertinent to the best uses of the funds received under this Act.

Page 4, lines 12 and 13: After the word "authority," eliminate the rest of the sentence. This sentence would then read:

The amounts thus allocated shall be certified to the Secretary of the Treasury by the National Board, and shall thereupon be paid to the State authority.

Page 5, line 14: After the word "State," insert "for current expenses other than teachers' salaries." This sentence would then read:

In making any such determination the Board shall take into consideration the extent to which the burden of the educational needs of the State for current expenses other than teachers' salaries are borne by nonpublic schools.

Page 5, line 19: Strike out the words "the National Board" and insert in place thereof "the United States Commissioner of Education." This sentence will then read:

The United States Commissioner of Education shall cause an audit to be made of the expenditure of funds under this Act by each State authority.

Page 7, lines 16 and 17: After the word "regulations," strike out the words "in conformity with the provisions of" and insert in place thereof "respecting the functions vested in it by," and strike out the word "its" before the word "administration." This sentence would then read:

The National Board is authorized to make such rules and regulations respecting the functions vested in it by this Act as may be necessary to facilitate administration.

Page 10, line 25: Change the words "department of education" to "authority," in order to conform to wording used throughout the bill. Page 12, line 12: Change the word "created" to "established or designated." The sentence would then read:

(c) The term "State authority" means the State educational authority established or designated pursuant to clause (c) of paragraph (1) of section 3.

Page 13, line 16: Change the words "equalize educational opportunities" to "improve educational opportunities and reduce educational inequalities."

Page 15, line 12: The word "Provided" should be in italics instead of marked out. Change the words beginning with "Provided" and ending with the colon preceding "And provided further" to read as follows:

Provided, That not less than 75 per centum of the funds allocated to any State under title II shall be used to supplement the appropriations currently made by public jurisdictions within such State for payment of salaries of teachers in public schools;

This change is suggested to clarify the meaning of the statement.

Page 16, line 23: After the word "State" strike out "whether public or nonpublic," and substitute the words "designated as eligible to receive funds under this act." This change is also designed merely to clarify the meaning of the sentence of which it is a part.

Senator DONNELL. Gentlemen of the committee, the hour of 12 o'clock has arrived. What is your pleasure in regard to further hearings? Do you think we had better recess until tomorrow morning, at 10 o'clock?

Senator SMITH. Might I ask if Dr. Reeves has finished his report? Dr. REEVES. I have just finished, and I would like permission to insert these tables in the record.

Senator DONNELL. They may be copied in the record.

(The matter referred to is as follows:)

APPORTION MENT OF FUNDS WHICH WOULD BE AUTHORIZED FOR APPROPRIATION UNDER BILL S. 717

There are four separate appropriations which would be authorized by bill S. 717. The first of these, under title I, section 2, would provide for expenses of administration and the making of necessary surveys. The National Board, in joint agreement with the State authority, would allocate a part of such funds to States as needed. The other three funds proposed under bill S. 717 would be available for apportionment to States to meet specified operating educational expenses within the States. A digest of the four funds appears as table 1. Ilustrative allocations of the three funds to be appropriated to the States are given below. For this purpose, data have been used for the year 1940. That was the last prewar year and the last year for which complete census information is now available.

TABLE 1.-Proposed appropriations authorized by bill S. 717

The $300,000,000 authorized under title II would be allocated by the National Board upon determination of the relative need of the several States for the purposes indicated. In determining the relative financial need of the States, the National Board would consider several factors including financial ability and the school-age population.

To illustrate the manner in which such apportionments might be made, hypothetical allotments have been computed (table 2). The distribution of funds in table 2 takes into account the relative ability of the several States as measured by State total income payments to individuals, and population between the ages of 5 and 20, inclusive. Certain assumptions have been made as to the combination of these two factors. The figures in column 3 of table 2 are illustrative allotments per person 5 to 20. This varies from State to State, those States with least ability per capita receiving the greatest allotment per capita.

Based on U. S. Department of Commerce estimates of 1940 income payments and 1940 census of popula tion, ages 5 to 20, and assumption that relative financial needs of States would be in direct ratio to propor tion of United States total income payments less 65 percent of proportion of United States population 5 to 20. Applied to continental United States only. This method of allocation differs from that provided in section 3 (B) of S. 181 only in that the ages included are 5 to 20, inclusive, instead of 5 to 17, inclusive. Estimated.

APPORTIONMENT UNDER TITLE III

Funds to enable States to render special educational services are apportioned (sec. 302) on two bases: (1) One-half on total population, and (2) one-half by the methods of allocation used under title II. Table 3 shows $50,000,000 apportioned on the basis of total population (column 2), and $50,000,000 apportioned on the same basis as in table 2 (column 3).

TABLE 3.— Illustrative allotment to States under title III, 1940 data1

The $150,000,000 which would be authorized for appropriation under title IV for the assistance of needy students would be allotted on the basis of population 14 to 20 years of age, inclusive. The apportionment of $150,000,000 on this basis is given in column 2 of table 4. The number of students assisted by this sum under three assumptions as to average amount of assistance per student is shown in columns 3, 4, and 5 of table 4. At an average rate of $50 per student, $150,000,000 would provide assistance to 3,000,000 students, or 17.2 percent of the total of 17,400,000 persons between the ages of 14 and 20, inclusive. At $75 per student, 2,000,000 (11.5 percent) would be assisted. At $100 per student, 1,500,000 (8.6 percent) would be assisted. Estimates for each individual State on these three assumptions are shown in table 4.
