Dillinger of Placerville. of Glendora ag its chairman, submitted a partial report of schools. Critics of certain types of shade making, and*many other types -of adult education are not a proper charge against the state. Criticism has also been leveled at the methods.30me times used to secure and} calculate attendance as a basis for collecting state funds for such classes. The committee, in taking note of these critcisms, has found that state expenditures for this purpose have jumped from a total of $1,500,000 just after the transfer of the socalled county matching: requirements to the state, to a total-now in excess of $6,000,000. The legislative committee notes, fin all fairness, that the large increase shown for the last three years is undoubtedly dué to the war—the training of industrial workers, defense personnel, air.raid. . wardens, ete.

Then the committee Teports:. “We have determined that some school districts are taking advantage of this bonus apportionment law in that while the legislature ybdeaet intended that only one honus should go to a school district for special day and evening classes, it has been interpreted that bonis apportionments will be allocated to each adult school in the district, with the result that in one school district we find seven adult schools tlaiming With that in mind, many legislative interim committees are studying the ‘state’s fiscal problems, among them the Joint Legislative Gommitee on Study of Tax Structure and Adult Edueation, headed by Senator a’ sub-committee of this group, with Assemblyman Lee T.
