Her Sympathy.

Little Margaret was enduring a visit
from her boisterous cousins from the
west. One evening after the children
said their prayers, their talk turned on
heaven. Henry, Dick and Bob wished
to know if they would go there when
they died When an affirmative an

this town will vote to close the
school with five-months' ses-
sion, and thus require the children
to spend two years in one grade,
when they should complete it in
one year? Why, no greater in
justice could be done to the chill
dren of Lumberton. Some pupils
in the schools here are we'll ad-
vanced for their age, but, general
ly speaking, the great majority
are not as advanced as they
should be at their age, and to re-
quire them to spend two years in
the same grade means simply to
ultimately send them from the
school without their having COM
pleted the work of the grades.
It is proposed that we raise a
fund by subscription to support
the school after the public money
is exhausted. This is not practi-
cable, and the business people of
Lumberton know that such a
plan would meet defeat.
Then it is proposed that we
teach out the public money and
then conduct a subscription
school. This, too, would defeat
the purposes of the graded school.
Over one-half the pupils would
withdraw from the school as
soon as the subscription school
should begin. At the opening Ct
the next years work over half
the pupils would be three months
behind the others in their
classes, and thus the work in all
the grades would be in a confus-
ed state, and in fact the whole
graded school would be disorgan-
lied, and we would be in the
same condition we were in at the
beginning of last years work.
The school is now in good con-
dition. We want it to go on pro-
gressively, without interruption,
and the only possible way for this
to come about is through this adj
ditional tax levy. 1t will not
burden any one to pay the little
additional tax, and who can esti-
mate the value of it to the COM
munity?
This proposition was endorsed
by the people of Lumberton in
the public meeting where the
graded school was first placed
before them. Mr.. Lawrence
stated that the school could be
maintained on a twenty to thirty
cent levy, making the minimum
twenty-cents and the maximum
thirty-cents. The people voted
on this proposition and endorsed
it unanimously. But for some
cause the law was drawn so as
to provide for flat twenty-cent
levy. All that we are asking
the people to do is to go to the
polls and ratify that which they
endorsed two years ago in pub
| lie meeting.

THE GRADED SCHOOL TAX.
The Proposed Tax Levy-Com-
parison With Other Towns
What the Result Will be if the
Tax is not Voted.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

AK Is not VOCeo.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
1t has been argued on our
streets and by good men, too
that we could run an eight
months school with a special tax
levy of twenty cents, but the
argument is not based on facts
and cannot hold good. If any
one will take the property valua-
ton here and work the matter
out on a tWenty-cent basis, he
will find that they cannot raise a
fund that will support the schools
of the town for session CT eight
months, though the cheapest
possible teachers be employed.
We are frank to say that as yet
we have heard Of no town in the
State that is running schools on
less than a thirty-cent levy. 1t
seems that the best way to get
at this matter is to make some
comparisons of the levy for
school purposes in other towns,
with that in Lumberton, and see
if the graded school is a greater
burden on the people here than
the schools elsewhere. Enquiries
have been made of fourteen
towns as nearly the size of Lum-
berton as we could choose, and
not a single one of them has a
levy of less than thirty-cents,
and several of them have gone
above thirty; but we cannot go
above thirty cents here, as we
are operating under the provis.
ions of the general school law
which makes thirty-cents the
limit. The following is a list of
towns Lumberton's class
with their special tax levies fol
schools:
| Mt. Olive, Wayne Co., 40cts
| Clinton, Sampson Co., 30cts
Greenville, Pitt Co., 40cts
Rich Square, Northhamp-
ton Co., 30cts
| Lincolnton, Lincoln Co., 3Octs
| Newton, Catawba Co., 3Octs
| Mooresville, Iredell Co., 333cts
Gastonia, Castor Co., 30cts
Lexington, Davidson Co., Scots
Thomasville, Davidson Co., Scots
Morehead City, Carteret
Co., 4Octs
Lenoir, Caldwell Co., 663cts
Graham, Alamance Co., 3Octs
Burlington, Alamance Co., 30cts
This is evidence sufficient
show that we are not running O
: as expensive a scale as othe
