Should it appear to the state board of education that it would be to the interest of the state, and funds have been appropriated therefor, the board shall draw an order on the state auditor in favor of the county depository or depositories for the sum of one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars for each county supporting an agricultural high school, for the use of the trustees of the said high school or schools. The auditor shall issue his warrant annually on the depository for this amount, but not more than one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars for each county supporting an agricultural high school shall be paid to any one school in one year for agricultural high school purposes, except as hereinafter provided.

However, no school shall receive more than five thousand five hundred ($5,500.00) dollars a year of the remainder. 
 

Any consolidated school carrying four years' accredited high school work, doing work in vocational agriculture and vocational home economics, as defined by the director of the division of vocational education, shall receive the following amounts under conditions named:

The appropriations from the state treasury shall be made in such manner as to comply with the law, but the state aid may be withdrawn at any time, when the state board of education finds that a school is not being legally conducted for the purposes for which established.
