STATE AIDTO HIGH SCHOOLS.

There is proposition on foot to in
crease the state appropriation for
high schools from $500 to $500 or
$1,000. The scheme is good or bad
according to the animus which
prompts it, If more money from
the state means that our high schools
shall to a greater extent be tied down
to the state educational department
the matter of few hundred dollers
will not be a desideratum. The con-
troll which the state exercises over
high schools is in some respects good
but in most respects not so. In the
exercise of general regulations, the
influence of the state departments is
ordinarily good but in attempting to
interfere with local conditions the
state department is usually a failure.
But abstracting this objection,
which is only Hypothetical, it is only
lust that the state should make more
provision for supporting local high
schools. There is not high school
in the state that is not hampered
with lack of equipment in apparatus,
library and teaching force, yet it is
equally true that the school tax is an
enormous one and cannot be locally
increased. This tax is 23.5 mills. for
example, in Morris and yet the rate
here is below what it is in many other
towns.
When statistics Of expenses are
still further consulted it is seen that
the expenditure for the high schools
by the several cities is out of pro
portion to the benefit these schools |
are to the cities supporting them
Statistics showing the extend of at
tendance of country boys and girls at
these schools are unavailable, but |
this outside attendance is easily one
fourth or one-third of the total num-
Der. For admitting these country
boys and girls the several cities re-
ceive only the present insignificant
appropriation of $500.
This is the condition: the cities pay
for the primary education of their
own youth and the secondary ed
ucation of those of the entire county;
the count y townships pay only for
the primary education of their own
children, Therefore and immense
difference in school tax rate is to be
noticed, that of the county being
from to Is mills (taking Stevens
as an illustration) and that of Morris
being 2.35 mills as before noted.
The conclusion is inevitable The
Legislature should make better pro-
vision for these estate" high schools
and at the same time they should
not put the schools into the hands
of some educational autocrat.
