.VIRGlNIA's SYSTEM
OF SCHOOL TAXATION.
Theoretically 1t is Excellent, But
the State Has Done as Little
MS Possible.

MIR. NJ D.. Hail.. superintendent Of
schools in Fairfax, spoke at the afternoon
session. which began at 8 O'clock, on the
subject Of taxation. for school purposes.
He defended the system in vogue in vir.
ginia, and quoted the venerable DR.. Ruff.
ner III support Of his contention.
..But what has the Legislature done UNI
der this system 9" he asked. and replied:
Just as little a S possible Under the
old Constitution the assembly was autho-
! rized to place the rate anywhere. from
one to five. mills. The Legislature fixed
the tax at one mill. Gould they have
done less q, Inquired the sieaker. '.The
Constitution required the levy Of one
mill.,'
Discussing local taxation, Septerintend-
emit Hall said the Legislature had done
even less, fixing the maximum of local
taxation at the minimum Of State taxa
tion-one mill.
DR.. Buttricl1: Has the present Legis-
lature enacted laws putting into effect
the new Constitution?
Mr.. Hall: The rate Of taxation has
not vet been changed. We still impose
one mill for State, county, and district,
respectively.
Continuing, Mr. Hall criticised the ac-
ton Of many counties In fixing the school
rate not at one mill, a s allowed by the
Legislature. but at fraction Of mill.
Replying to Mr.. Pullian. Of hIanches-
ter, Mr.. Hall said that Fairfax is now
levying one mill local taxation and would
be- willing to increase the rate to q mill
and a half. to prolong the school term
to seven, or eight months.
Mr. Hall, however, advocated INCREASE
OF the State rate. as the most equitable
solution of the problem The Legislature
Disseminated in favor OF the cities Ia
allowing the cities to levy as high as
three mills of local taxation,
Who Is responsible for this condition
~ hieh brings o,1r friends from abroad to

Who is responsible for this sentiment?
Have the county superintendents done
their duty Have they labored to build
up 2 proper sentiment with reference tr

have our official heads cut OF. we must

Mr. Hall besought the members to ad.

The Manassas Journal calls 1t "the best

long as southern heart throbs' The
poem is as follows:
Tho victory crowneth not thy brow.
Thou stand'st to-day. unveiled,
Type Of the manifest manhood, thou.
That ever fighting failed
Well nlay'st thou hold aIoft thy head.
Immortal is its crown.
And tho the cause thou led'st be dead.
Death1ess is thy renown.
Twas thine to stand against the world.
Gainst race OF every name,
And tho thy battle flag be fllrled.
It's wreathed with fadeless fame,
No Drawer soul e'er dared be free,
Or stood in strife more stern
Not Spartan at Thermopylae,
Not Scot at Bannockburn.
Nor ever will thy memory die,
Whilst tongue or pen can tell

For which thy courage fell,
Ard 50 IN story thou shalt stand.
IN legend and in lore,
The idol Of thy native LAND

but his children, he said. might live to
see the day when it,wou!d prevail. He adj
vaneed several strong arguments to sup
port those who do contend for compul-
sorry education.
If he were asAed for statement of the
dominating influence OF the century just
now. he would say the extension Of edu-
cation to the masses, and the application
Of science to all the activities Of life.
Governor Montague thought the multi
plicity Of schools in Virginia was a handi-
cap. a good graded school, well equip
ped, was worth several small schools. He
ventured the opinion that the State would
come to the rescue with free transporta-
ton when the day Of the larger neighbor-
hood School should arrive to supplant tho
smaller, weaker schools.
