SPENDS FOUR TlMESON
NEGRO EDUCATION
Amount 6eOrgia Receives
From Negro Taxes.

Atlanta. Ga, Oct. Invaluable sta
tistics on the respective amounts Civ
en- by Georgia for the education of the
white and black races are contained
in a letter which State School Com
missioner Jere NJ. Pound has written
to certain northern publication. 1t
shows that Georgia is giving four
times as much for negro education as
1t receives from negroes for educa-
tional purposes. He shows the total
receipts from all sources for public
education in 1908 amounted to $780,
5000. 1t may be roughly stated that
two-thirds of this amount goes to pay
the salaries of teachers. White teach
ers in white schools receive $2,2S9,-
253.12. Negro teachers in negro
schools receive 7,269.39. The value
Of property owned by negroes in 1908
returned for taxation in Georgia was
$27,042,672. If every dollar of this
property paid taxes at the rate OF
mills it would mean that the state
/ secured from this source $135,213 sc
for all state purposes education and
everything else. The receipts from
| poll taxes paid by negroes amounted
| to $4,000 in 1908, making a total oil
| $123,676 for education. The actual
| proportion of taxes paid by negroes
for educational purposes under the
state apportionment which sets aside
a tax of Is mills for education was
| S4S,676. In other words, four times
as much was paid out for Georgia fol
negro education as was received from
negro tax payers for that purpose.
