above, and the remainder is the actual
increase in local tax levy for school
purposes. Look after this carefully
so ctime 10 the latter part of August.
The abstract OF taxes levied for the
year 1891, in the state Of Indiana, shows
that there was levied for school pur-
poses, by the state, $2.l8S. .8s3.6l. The
levy for this money was state levy,
and all counties had to pay their part.
This money was divided among ell the
children in the state, and of course, the
Dubois county schools got their part.
| II further shows that there was raised
in the state by means of levies, laid ct
the pleasure Of the various township
town and city school trustees, the sum
OF q ,237 ,42l %. This last named sum
remained in the various counties whore
it was raised, and was there expended
tor tuition purposes OF this last
named sum. only $5l.25 was. raised in
Dubois county, because there was vir-
tually no locs. tuition levy Ia the
county.
The average amount raised Ia ca ach
cou ty, in the state of Indiana, by res-
son of levies laid by trustees, for tuition
purposes. is over ol3 OOO; yet, Dubois
county, raised only &51 IS. So far Du.
bois couuty's schools have been taught
with money derived by reason Of levies
made by state authorities. When that
"money ran ont" schools ran out"
The state levy has been reduced and
with it Dubois county's school terms.
Question: Are you going to accept
shorter terms, or, are you going to lay q
local tuition levy to keep them as long
az they have been Ninety other coun-
ties in Indiana have = losl tuition levy.
This is left In your hands, and you must
use your own judgement, providing
the county commissioners will permit
you TO d /, 80. One thing is almost cer-
tain state school levies will not be in
creased, and ii poor counties want lou
ger terms, trustees must lay the levy.
Your actions on this subject will effect
the schools Of 1894 -95 The assessment
of property and dcgs, the paying Of
taxes and licenses, the enumeration OF
children, the grade of teachers employ
ed, the amount Of funds on hand, and
many other things affect the length Of
school terms so that no definite calcula-
tions can be made, particularly when
they mnst be made SO far 10 advance
ss is the case in schoOl-wOrk. 1t is
very probable that some corporations
can get along without the levy mention
ed above, by cutting down their school
terms or school districts. 1t 10 but just
to add that the legislature made the re.
ductiOn on the recommendation OF the
state auditor, the old and the new gov.
ernors.

II the state levy had not been reduced
the above county levy would not be
needed. The state in reducing it's levy
forces the county to increase her local
tuition levy or shorten her school terms.
Az county superintsn 'ent We have ad-
vocsted q six months term for all dis.
trict schools. For wanting the terms 10
be that long We have been severely criti.

through sixteen cent state school levy,
(by virtue of an act passed in 1869 a
state school poll OF fifty cents and other
sources.
The last Legislature reduced the state
school levy from I6 to l3A cents. This
"a cent reduction in the state school
levy cuts down our school terms; aud
the only way to keep them as long as
they have been is to lay local tuition
levy. It should be remembered that a
"a cent county levy will not bring as
mvA as the county loses by reason Of
the hates reduction.
We csndidly believe that the citizens
OF the county, as . body, do not want
their school terms shortened, hence we
give below table showing the local
levy necessary to meet the money lost
by the State reduction Of "a cents.

READING.
There are eleven township libraries in
the county. These libraries contain 2l34
books. One sixth of these were read
for the year ending August l, 1892
Of what it should be. We think II will
be better this year. Wherever we could
get some one to send US copy OF the
names Of the books we inserted them in
the educational column Of the JASPER
CouRIER, which is published for the
benefit Of the schools, by the kindness
OF the editor. The suggestion was also
made that teachers should post up the
list In their school.rooms for the benefit
of their pupils. This will do some
good. However, since the law requires
each trnstee to post up library notice
in each school-room when school opens
in the Fall, would it no, he we'll to have
these notices printed including Q com.
plete list Of the books? Ii would not be
expensive, and will result In causing
some of the books to be more generally
read. The great trouble, however, with
the library books, is. that they appear
old aud not inviting to the young.
Again, tho best books have been read
the most, and Of course are nearly worn
out.
The Yonng Peoples Reading Circle
has made wonderful progress In Dubois
county this year; 1900 pupils having
read 3,1OO books. Thess books are
graded, and correspond with the grade
in which the child studies, hence 1t IN.

the habit OF reading.
This county is above the average

The work should receive the encOur.

As usual Dubois county again led the
