Copies Of the Act of 1898 have
been sent to the Chairman OF The
Board Of Trustees. 1t is the law
concerning local taxation for
school purposes 1t allows tht
people of any city, incorporated
town, or school district, to levy III.
additional tax for school purposes
We arc glad to SEQ tho DEMOCRAT
speaks ont. There is no roaeon
why our FREQ public schools should
not give TO each child, with mental
capacity to receive, q good COM
mon school education, except foi
the parsimony Of the parents OF
guardians. The matter ia entirely
in tho hands Of the people of each
school district. If you think yon.
school is not doing enough to pro.
pare your children for the various
duties Of life, to which they may
be called, it is timo you were do.
ing something to better their con-
dition. VIII you doit? The costs
is but little over half that of pri.
yate schools.
CrossweN last year, levied al
additional tax Of two mills and
they have already had three months
of free school, and will in all pro-
liability, havo three months moro.
and leave some to begin noxt yoar
with, and tho beauty of it is, if
you place an additional tax upon |
yourselves, the School Comm,s-
slonor can got none of it, but you
got moro work out Of him, and he
gets no extra pay.
lfyou think your children are
born sufficiently wise to copo with
tho ignorant who hayo to attend
sch ool that they may be wise
enough to attend to their own af-
falra; then it would be well for
you to oppose increasing of the
school fund.
But oven then, would not q good
school increase tho value of your
property2 When man wishes to
invest his money in home does
no not inquire about &C h O OILS,
churches, mills, &c.? Do men
