TOWNSHIP VERSUS STATE
GENERALIZATION OF SCHOOLS
Brief History of the Origin of Township Capitalization
VS. State Capitalization VS. the Common Schools in
Ohio by One Who Has Something for Better
All Rights Reserved.

The first centralized school in
Ohio was built in kingsville town
ship, Ashtabula county in 1892.
The building cost seven thousand
dollass. four years high school
course is provided. Ten years
elapsed between the suspension of
the first and last school in the
township. The building is now
paid for. The local tax rate, II
mills is for maintaining the school
The total rate for this township is
2l.20 mills. A special act of the
General Assembly was passed April
~. 1894, which provided for trans
portation for this building alone.
There are nine routes costing
$14S0 per day for transportation.
The school enumeration of this
township is as follows 1904. 300:
1905, 202: 1906, 303. 1t is apparent
that this township does not attract
emigrants from adjacent communi-
ties that have not centralized.
Fifteen years have elapsed since
the introduction of this institu-
ton. At that time, the writer was
an advocate of this method of
education. which is now obsolete
due to the marvellous strides that
have been made in the industrial
world. Many hundreds of miles OF
electric lines have been built in
Ohio alone. There rs now entire
counties that could be centraliz-
ed" or rather consolidated under
state Capitalization.
Our intellectual progress has
not kept step with the Industrial
march. The telephone, rural de-
livery and electric roads have vir-
tually blended communities and
neighbour into one common
wealth L. the state. 1t is just and
proper that the unfortunate the
insane, the imbecile and the crimi-
nal shall be provided for by the
commonwealth. The most fortunate,
those that are able to attend uni
versities are abundantly provided
for by the commonwealth and the
