Want State To Finance Schools Orange County Principals Ask • All Monies Be Raised By One Agency Consensus of opinion among principals of Orange county schools, according to discussions developing at their meeting in Santa Ana last Thursday evening, is that the state should take over the entire burden of raising monies with which to finance educational activities.
