236 THE FISCAL PROBLEM IN MISSOURI children is extended only to districts in which there are ten or more blind, deaf, or crippled children. The aid is $750 for each teacher that is wholly employed in instructing such children. The amount of state aid may not exceed two thirds of the amount actually paid the teacher. Under certain con- ditions state aid of $750 is granted on account of each teacher employed in instructing speech defectives; and spe- cial aid of $300 is granted for each teacher engaged in in- structing pupils who are subnormal or mentally deficient. The so-called equalization grants consist of aid to rural schools, aid to consolidated districts, aid to high schools, and aid in maintaining ninth and tenth grades in certain districts where high school facilities are not available. Certain condi- tions must be fulfilled before a rural school may receive state aid! An eight months’ term is required. A district employ- ing one teacher must have an assessed valuation of $75,000 or less and must levy $0.65 per $100 of valuation for school purposes, not more than $0.25 of which may be used for incidental purposes. Also, the district must have maintained an average daily attendance of fifteen or more pupils during the previous term; or, if less than fifteen, an average daily attendance of 659, of the last enumeration of the district must have been maintained. If these conditions are met, a one-teacher district may receive a maximum aid of $300 or as much thereof as is necessary to maintain an eight months’ term of school at the following salaries: $60 per month for a teacher with a third grade certificate, $70 per month for a teacher with a second grade certificate, and $80 per month for a teacher with a first grade certificate. In districts employing two or more teachers, the levy requirements are the same as for a one-teacher district, but the valuation must not exceed $125,000. The average daily attendance during the last term must have been forty or more pupils, and no district organized after January 1, 1913, and having an area of less than six square miles may receive this form of aid. If these conditions are met, a district employing two or more teachers may receive the maximum aid of $500, but a district receiving such aid cannot pay salaries in excess of those prescribed for the one-teacher districts. 1 R. 8. 1919, Section 11211, as amended by Session Laws, 1921, pp. 637f.
