Trenton. Mar. %: Charles ]. Bax-
ter. state superintendent of public
instruction, has submitted to Governor
Stokes as a supplement to his annual
report. an exhaustive and comprehen-
>ive paper ON The Basis Of School
Tax"
BY mean, of comparative tables it
presents an excellent birds eye view
of the ratables and taxation of the
state for the past twenty-five years.
shows the varying results under the
old system OF raising the school tax on
a population basis. compared with the
new plan OF raising the tax by 294
mills levy on each dollar of valuation
OF the taxable real and personal prop
erty of the state. Superintendent Bax-
ter j. enthusiastic in support of the
new system.
The first table. covering the time
from 1880 to 1904, shows the increase
in total state tax ratables each year
over the preceding year. The in
ereases run from 80, T23, 1S0.s 81 between
1850 and 1881 to S47, 3l6. 40. 80 between
1908 and 1904. The largest increase
was between 1902 and 1903, when it
was $55, 502.072 70.
According to the second table the,
school tax increased in the school
years of 1s92-'93, 1894 80. 1885, '96,
ls97-'9s. lS9S-'99. and 1S99-1900. The
other wears there were decreases as
follows: 1S93-'g4, s125, 500: 1896 -'97,
S7l, 445; I9o0-'0l s15. 725, and 1901-'02,
$50, 430.
The third table shows constant in
creasesin the enrolment of the public
schools from the school year 1892 '9S
to 1890 inclusive. The increase
was from 249, 5Ss in 1929 to ,352, 20a
in 1905 'O4, or l02, 6l5.
The paper shows that the average
cost of education per pupil enrolled
for the school year 1s92-'93 was S12. 50.
The increase in enrolment for the
school year 1885, "a over the preceding
year was II, 9l9 and Professor Baxter
argues that therefore the amount
raised by tax for the support of the
schools for the latter year should have
shown an increase Of SlSI, 233. 10,
($12, 5jxl4, 9l9). ~ already shown by
the second table, however, there was
not an increase that year but de-
crease Of Sl25. $50.
The paper explains a matter that IS
not generally understood. As the rate
of school tax is -, mills (00275),
and 35 per cent. of such tax is paid
10y an appropriation from the state
treasury, some taxpayers suppose that
.00l7S75 90 percent, OF .00275) is the
invariable rate Of state school tax
levied throughout the state. But
Professor Baxter shows that because
the ratable~ of year multiplied by
.0o27l determine the total amount of
the state school tax foI. the next year.
therefore. while the ratable upon
which the school tax is levied shall
continue - bee greater than those upon
which tits based. the average rate
throughout the state win be less than
.um7s75.

Bronze Wire Rope in Pornpeii.

The excavations at Pompeii have
however brought to light a piece Of
bronze wiz" 1Cpe nearly Is feet lonS
and about one 1Ech in circumference.
This rope is now in the museo Borbon-
il at Naples
1t consists of three strands laid sp:r-
ally toSeth":, tacn strang being made
up Of 10 WI S twisted together, and
its construction does not, therefore
differ greatly from that of wire rope
made today
Pompeii was buried A. d. 70, 1,ScJ
years ag3. but how iCng wire ropes had
then been known it is impossible to
tell, though, judging by the knowledge
shown in the construction, it may be
safely concluded that they had been
known for a considerable time.
AS to the use of rope tramways, it
is said hat they were in use as early
as 1644.-Philadelphia Record.
