TIE CosT OF TIE Schools 1t is
stated that few years ago, the cost for
each pupil in the Public Schools was only
SS OF $40 per year, while the cost now is
SIG or SIT. We have not the data at
hand to verify the first statement but it is
well known that the salaries of teachers
have been materially advanced within
the past fifteen years. Aside from this
increase superintendent has been em-
ployed and The books are now furnished
without charge to parents, making an
item of 5000 or $4,000. The schools are
now really free and this should be borne
in mind when the cost of tuition is be-
ing considered.-Republicdn.
The Republican, whose senior editor is
member of the Board of Education, is
very loose and careless in his statements
above. lie knows very we'll that he has
only to turn to his files for many years
back to get from the reports of the Presi-
dents of the Board and the Treasurer, the
cost OF running the schools. These re-
ports were published by Judge Hall with
great accuracy and care for many years.
They appeared about the last of March,
Just day or two before the election.
President Bullock continued them. Trea-
surers, John T. Robinson and Wesley
Talley were equally exact and careful.
Upto 1871 we think the cost per capita
was from sic to eight dollars. These
facts can be had by the members of the
Board or the Council. We are not dis
posed to edge in between the parties to
this slight" We desire, however, to
teep down the taxes upon our property so
That it will not sink lower in value or
prevent investments in our city.
There was annually from $1,4OO to
5000 collected from the scholars for
books, the salary of the Superintendent
IS $500. To show how careless the Re
publican is of what it says to excuse the
Board it puts these two amounts at $1,000
to $4,000.
Some one a few days ago, who had not
the fear OF the Board of Education before
thelr eyes calmly remarked in the street
cars that it was doubtful whether the
