TAXATION FOR SCHOOLS
supt. Schaeffer's Paper Full of Fact
and Suggestion - o..

Supt. Schaefer's Paper Full of Fact
and Suggestion. -
Nathan S. schaeffer of. Harrisburg, Pa,
state superintendent of public instruction
discussed before the national council this
morning the problem Of >|'Taxation for
School Purposes He traced the origin
OF free schools and the various forms OF
taxation employed to support them The
enormous value Of general education was
accentuated and the maintenance by the
state of higher educational institutions
was considered in detail. Along this line
the speaker said: . ~
From taxation in aid of high schools there
is but one step to taxation for college and
university purposes. The state needs we'll
educated physicians, lawyers, chemists and
engineers: If the welfare Of the people de-
mands governmental assistance in the estab-
lishment of institutions for the teaching of
medicine, law, science, technology, the right
Of the federal and state governments to levy
the necessary taxes should no more be Dues
toned than its right to raise money for the
military acade emy at West Point and the naval
academy at Annapolis The arguments that
would rule out taxation for university pur-
poses would also be valid against taxation for
the maintenance of free schools, including the
high school and the kindergarten.
1t must be admitted that whilst we all be-
lieve in taxation for school purposes we pre-
fer: to let 1.-The other fellow pay the taxes
especially If the other fellow happens to be
some rich corporation i'm which we own nc
stock. -: One of the most practical things

THE NINTH WEEK
Anthracite Strike Moving On With
out Change.

-
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1.-THE ninth
week of the anthracite coal miners strike
opened quietly with conditions un-
changed. 49,, .57s -.
The strikers of this district. which is
composed of all the territory from Forest
City, twenty miles north of Scranton, to
Shlshlnny, sixteen miles south Of here,
are interested in the annual convention,
which opened at 'Nanticoke to-day. No
very important business will come up.
President Nichols is sure of unanimous
reelection, as are also most of the other
officers. ~.
President Mitchell's sudden departure
for New York yesterday continues to ex-
cite interest among miners here. Out
side of statement made by one of his
lieutenants last night that the miners
chief went to New York for the purpose
of seeing labor leaders, no Information
can be had here as to the exact purpose
of Mr.. Mitchells trip.
Arrest of Strikers for Rioting.
Harrisburg, Pa, July 7--Sheriff Rein
swore out warrants oday for the arrest
of ten strikers at Williamstown, this
county, for melting to riot and interfer-
ing with his deputies in protecting non
union men going to and from work In the
mines at Lykens and WilliamstoWn. The
sheriff says the situation in the region is
critical and that if there is another out
break like that of last Wednesday when
he and his deputies were assaulted while
protecting |non-union miners, he will
call upon Governor Stone for protection
by the militia. Twenty Of the rioters
were arrested on Thursday at Williams
town and held in bail for court, but this
does not seem to have improved the situa-
ton and the sheriff concluded to bring
suit here and compel the rioters to coma
to Harrisburg for a hearing. e.

ng Discussion at Opening Session of
Council. :.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler reminded
his hearers of the necessity of maintain
! ing double view. Anxiety to obtain
| money for the schools must not be al
| lowed to oyershadow the duty of the citi-
zen to keep public expenditures within
| reasonable bounds. The Limitation of the
| educator consisted in the fact that it
was hard to ascertain the proper limit
of cost of education for a certain popula-
| tion. Unless this could be done, it was
| almost impossible to Judge whether the
finances Of the schools were wisely ad-
ministered. Then it should be ascer-
tanned what proportion of the expense
| should be charged to each of the various
| items.
Dr.. Butler thought the communities
| should remit all indirect taxes and that
| the state legislature should assume the
collection from indirect taxa ton of suf-
f1cient money to pay the salaries of all
teachers. The local communities should
only be required to pay for the grounds
and buildings and smaller items of ex-
pense for schools. This expense for per-
manent improvements could easily be met
by bond issues, which would not be so
| large as to be burden.
| The principle. that the public schools
spring from the sovereignty of the state
must be recognized. and since the state
| regulated the! requirements for teachers,
1t should bear the expense of teachers
salaries. Along this line a scientific sys-
tom Of school finance could be devised
which would distribute the burden in an
| equitable manner, and avoid the danger
| OF reaching the breaking point.

and the reunions between those whose
work has drawn them into close and cor
dial relations are looked forward to with
the happiest expect ancy. Among those
who spent the morning at the West hand
shaking and eagerly scanning the faces
Of arrivals was DR.. C. NJ. Jordan, who
held a reception wherever he stopped for
a moment in his inspection of things. He
| is one of the best known men of the asso-
citation and one of the best liked. The
number of people who wanted to speak
to him made him a dangerous rival in
popularity to Secretary Shepard, who was
constantly the center of a group Of
| friends, watching chance to get word
| with him between intervals Of pressing
business.
| The absence of President Beardshear is
noted with regret and concern, but to
the anxious inquiries the comforting an
swer Is given that he is resting quietly
and seems to be improving. Whether he
will be able to preside tomorrow will
depend largely on whether he is able to
sleep we'll tonight. Provision has been
made for presiding officer in case he
| is unable to be out, although the first
vice president, James M. Green, is alb
sent, having been called back to his home
after leaving for Minneapolis by death
in his family.
If the many noted men Of the conven-
tlon VINO gathered In the lobby of the
| West this morning and made the rounds
of the state parlors were N. C. Dougher-

for the schools is to teach by example as
we'll as precept, the true doctrine of taxation
for school purposes.
b The best method for aiding the schools
out of state funds is by a special levy, the
proceeds of which cannot be used for other
purposes. This lets the taxpayer know for
what purpose he is giving his money and
stimulates his pride in the institutions which
he helps to support.
Summarizing the points in his paper,
Mr.. Schaeffer said: ~
Taxation for school purposes is now the
accepted policy of every civilized country
The nature and purpose OF taxation should
be taught in connection with history and
civil government. ST..
One, of the highest, tests Of patriotism is
found in a willingness to pay just share of
tax for the support of the government and
the education of the people. -E-..a ~, j.. p

Superin tendent Narden of Mount Pleas

spiration to be derived by the Indian
workers from such educational gatherings
and the cordial interest Of the people or
the country.
Edgar A. Allen, assistant superintend-
ent Of Carlisle Indian school, was un-
expectedly called upon by Mr.. Cowan and
spoke of his, pleasure in the cordial well
come which he found awaiting the work
and the workers in Minneapolis. Presi-
dent MCGOWAN then spoke Of the difficulty
of arousing interest among the Indians in
education and other methods OF clv1liza-
tion. He contrasted the progress of the
white pioneers with the slow advance
ment Of the Indian and attributed the
difference to the fact that the soul and
brain of the red man are asleep. Until
the soul wakens the brain will sleep. The
teachers and workers in the Indian
service are trying to find out just how to
rouse that soul and mind" "a -~
Miss Estelle Reel, secretary OF the de-
partment and superintendent of Indian
schools Of Washington, D: c., was pres
ent and urged the teachers to attend as
many sessions of the general council as
possible. Musical numbers by Hamlin

work, we, the school workers of Minnesota,
welcome you to share it with us. s~--
DR.. Thomas F. Quinby, president of the
Minneapolis board of education, was the
next speaker on the program. He re-
ferred to the numerous conventions which
Minneapolis has entertained saying that
none had reflected such credit upon the
city as the present meeting of edu-
Gators. He added:
} You have a wider, nobler work, an altruis-
tic aim. You will discuss questions about the
making of citizens into whose hands it Is
safe to trust our country. In the march OF
civilization the original holders Of the land
have practically become reconcentradoes
The responsibilities of the government are
very great in this matter. Our sympathy
goes out to you teachers and to your wards.
We hope and trust that you will have nc
future difficulties in securing means and ma
terials for giving to the Indians as broad
an education as that granted to their white
brothers.
q Concluding with a few kindly words OF
welcome, DR.. Quinby gave place to Dr.
C. NJ. Jordan, who spoke briefly and force
fully Of the sympathetic interest felt by
the people of the west in the matter of In
dian education. He said: I'VE under
stand the problem with which you must
DEAL DR.. Jordan spoke Of the people
OF other lands who have come to this
country and done so much for progress,
of the Americans of longer lineage who
founded the city and the fact that we are
SO near the problem of Indian education
and development that we look forward
eagerly to greater work on the part OF
Indian educators.
: Response by Prest. MCGOWAN.
In the, absence Of many speakers who
were to respond to the words Of well
come, Mr.. MCGOWAN called upon Miss Col
,lins Of Standing Rock agency, who has
been for twenty-seven years a mis-
sionary among the Indians. Miss Collins
spoke of the JOY Of returning to civil
lization and of the impression made upon
her by the beauties of Minnesota and
Minneapolis. She then told pathetic in
cident Of the love of Minnesota treasured
In the heart OF one of her Indian pupils
of years ago, who has long been her
active helper in the agency. Elizabeth
was Sioux, born near what is now Min
neapolis. Upon reading Of the pleasant
