Prospectors from South Africa sav
that this belt is full of mines richer

public good. the State has the right TO
demand, and should demand, that ey-
cry child be educated. A parent has
no right to say whether his child shall
be edncated or not. There wasa time
when the parent had the power OF life
and death over bis child, but the state
no longer allows that education 10 .
right OF the child that the States not
only should provide for bat should
guarantee in spite Of careless or un-
natural parents; and, moreover, II il
essential to the welfare Of the State
for its citizens to be intelligent.
Already nearly all the most enlight-
ened States in Christendom act upon
this principle. Among the European
States having compulsory education
laws are: England, Scotland, France,
Germany, Norway and Sweden, the
Austrian empire, Switzerland and
Italy. Many Of the British colonies
in America and Australia and 20
States in the American Union have
such laws. Sixteen OF these States
have had them for twenty years or
more.
These facts in regard to our State
are not encouraging to know or pleas
ant to narrate. We would not tell
them in Gath nor publish them in the
streets of Askelon. But they exist :;
and it Is the duty Of North Carolinians
to face them. Shutting our eyes to
them will not remove them. Denying
them will not change them. But real
izing North Carolina's position in the
sisterhood Of States, let US earnestly
strive to remove the stigma that Is
upon her.

COMPARISON OF SCHOOL TAXES OF ALL
THE STATES.
1t is true that North Carolina i moo.
commonwealth. It's true per capita
valuation is only 1851 the lowest of ali
the States except Mississippi, $3.50, and
South Carolina, $34S. We cannot ex.
pect as large a school fund from North
carolina as from more wealthy States
But we can do as much in proportion
to our means, and unless we are con-
tent to drop still further behind our
sister States, we must do much more
in proportion to our means than thew
do. Comparing the true valuation Of
the real and personal property of all
the states with the amount raised by
taxation for school purposes, we find
the average tax for the United States
23.4 cents for every hundred dollars
worth OF property. North Carolina's
tax is lib cents. Our State occupies
the 43d place, taxing itself for school
purposes more heavily than only Wy
oming, which pays 1917 cents; Arizona
1915 cents; Alabama 105 cents; Texas
81 cents; Nevada 5.3 cents, New Mexi-
co 81 cents.
But in addition to that tax, which is
nearly as large as ours. Alabama
derives 10 per cent. of its school money
from permanent funds and rents.
Texas, 80 per cent. of its school money
from the same source. The per capita
wealth Of Wyoming and Arizona is
about 5000, 30 they do not need such
Ia ie tax. Nevada's per capita
wea 10 nearly $4,000; and in addi.
ti0n Il It's school tax, 1t derives so per
cent. OF its school funds from perma.
nent investments. New Mexico alone
Is really spending less in proportion
~ its wealth than North Carolina, vet
