Another Campaign for Longer Schools

Another Campaign for Longer Schools
State Superintendent of Educa-
ton Whitfield has begun another
campaign for longer school terms
and will have q petition presented
to the supervisors of all the counties
in the State asking hat the extern
sion of the school term be voted and
that the county levy be increased
for this purpose. The following let
ter was mailed out last week to the
prominent citizens of the different
counties:
II enclose herewith the blank petit
ton addressed to the board of super
visors Of your county, asking that
honorable board to levy a tax for the
purpose Of extending the school term.
I also inclose some arguments in favor
o. the longer school term.
"Under the law passed in 1904 the
board Of supervisors can appropriate
az much as $3.50 out Of the balance
in the school fund to a new one. The
ulOlCy AdloCO ny thIo AONoA boA N0A ~
spent as desired in building larger
or repairing school houses.
GAS you doubtless know, l am de-
voting practically my entire time to
this movement, and I write you this
letter to ask you to help me in this
great work. Will you not see the
taxpayers of your neighborhOod and
vicinity and as many others as posi-.
BILE and get them to sign this petit
ton?
81 have discussed this question be-
fore thousands of people during this
year and have taken a vote on the
proposition at each meeting. So far
not a vote has been cast against me.
"Our people are practically unaEi-
nous on the proposition. If you will
undertake this work, please notify me
at Jackson, and be certain to send
your petition to me at Jackson by the
18th of August so that / a get all
the petitions together and have them
placed before the board of supervisors
a. their September meeting"

Aroused No Enthusiasm.

Very little enthusiasm seems to
have been aroused by the announce
ment that a Populist State conven-
ton is to be held in Jackson on
July 25 to nominate presidential
electors. Populism in Mississippi is
lust about as dead as it well could
be. and the State convention will
not tax the capacity of the hotels
to take care of the delegates who
will be in attendance upon the State
| meeting Of that party.

900 worth of bonds for the es-
adjustment of an electric light plant
and water works system. Many towns
in the State already own such utlll-

School Fund Facts.

Col. Ell. M. Street, of Meridian,
one Of the most prominent imam
ciers in the State, has made a tabu-
lated statement showing the In
CAPABILITIES in the school fund distri-
button, and insists that the methods
should be changed so that more
counties would be compelled to pay
for their school facilities. Accord
ing to his statement, there are TWEEN
ty-six counties in Mississippi which
draw annually from the State treas
ury for school purposes alone $751;
900 more than they pay in from
every source, while there are twenty
six other counties which pay into the
State treasury about $4,000 more
than they draw out. This leaves
twenty-eight counties to pay for
their own schools and also to fur
nish all the money to carry on the
State government. Col. Street holds
that this is very unjust and unequal
and is apt to place a deficit on the
State.
