Notice to Trustees.

The State Supt. of Education has in
Structed me as follows:
Please let your Trustees understand
that local or special taxes may be voted
after January 1st. There ought to be
a great many such taxes voted for next
year. This is the only plan under the
law to replace the dispensary funds in
those Counties which have or may vote
out the dispensaries. For the last two
or three years the schools have been
receiving from 5000, 900 to $3.50, 900 from
dispensary profits. This amount eX-
ceeds either the poll tax or local taxes.
Local taxation is one of the best ways
to raise school revenues, because it re-
quires local interest and enthusiasm.
Most of the States raise the greater
part of their school funds by local tax
alton. While some districts have voted
all the Constitution allows them to:
yet less than 20 per cent of our school
revenues is raised in this way. Let Us
agitate this question now, so that the
people may be ready to vote by Janu-
ary. VIM. COOPER, Supt Ed.
