consideration some facts justifying

In the first place. every man and
woman who love their country are
friends TO the system Of Public
Schools
Second, each and every one knows
that in order to have good schools
that good school buildings are the
first essential and that It requires
money to build them. that after pro
curing suitable school buildings that
the next Is to procure good and cf-
Gcicnt teachers. This also requires
money.
Third, 1t is generally understood
by the patrons of the public schools
that the Board Of Education is by
our Constitution and Statutes limited
rs to the means at its hands to be
used for the maintenance of said
schools The maximum amount rs
prescribed by the Constitution and
Statutes of our state Is forty cents
on the 800 valuation of property to
be used for teachers and incidental
expenses, To that amount all boards
arc confined. aud for further means
We have to look to the taxpayers and
patrons of the schools. At the last
annual meeting the taxpayers voted
an increase Of ten cents. the board
believing that amount would enable
them to maintain nine.months

increase in population was greater
than the increase in taxable property
hence the number of teachers being

portion, and at the same time the
salaries paid our teachers do not
equal salaries paid teachers in Other
districts In our county. We will
