SHALL SCHOOLS Be
Cared FOR FIRST?
SCHOOL FUND COMMISSION
SEEKS INFORMATION
Public Asked to Decide For or
Against Specific Tax for Public
School Purposes.

Members OF the school fund COM
mission want to hear from the pen.
pie on the best ways and means for
raising funds to make ample pro-
vision for the public schools.
In drawing its conclusions thus
far the commission has adopted the
plan of a specific tax for public
school purposes, SO that whatever
happens in other departments of tho
government the public schools will
be taken care OF.
Meetings of the commission have
been held every week, usually on
Tuesday afternoon in the Offices III
W. A. Bowen on the sixth floor of the
| Stangenwald building. At the
meeting yesterday general state
ment was prepared with the purpose
of promoting public discussion of "a
very live topic. Members of the
commission desire the views of the
people, and the Bulletin will be
pleased to publish communications
on the general topic of the specific
tax or anything that has to do win
the schools of the Territory. The
statement follows:
A few weeks ago this commission
authorized a preliminary statement
to the public, In which without taS-
ing any final position regarding The
matter In hand. the view was ex.
pressed that probably some form OF
a specific tax In support Of educa-
tion would on the whole be the most
successful and the most satisfactory
to all parties.
Since the issuance OF that state
ment much information has been
gathered from many sources, incluh-
ing various states and sections "
the American Union. And the COM
mission itself has held several meet
ings and given careful study to the
whole situation. The result has
been thus far to confirm the view
previously announced. And we
hereby again invite our fellow citi-
zens, and especially those who are
Interested in education, to consider
whether a specific tax, imposed by a
general law In force from year 10
year except as amended or changed
on special occasions. may not be
best adapted to secure economy.
stability and the interests of all
parties concerned.
Such a tax. so imposed, would not
letter the legislature, for the whole
matter would still be under the con-
troll of the law-making power. And
In years when there was no necessity
for any change our Legislators would
be the freer to- give their time and
thought to other issues. with re-
gard to the amount of money to be
raised for school purposes. II 1t
should be necessary to keep that
amount proportionately as small as
It is now, specific tax running
stably from year to year would en-
able the school authorities to know
what to depend upon, and thus to
use their funds to, the best advan-
tage. And IT, on the other hand,
the enlargement which is greatly
needed can be realized, the specific
tax would furnish most convenient
method OF such enlargement.
Moreover. while our public school
laws and their administration must
ever be a department OF general gov
eminent and subject to its general
exigencies, yet there is need of a
good degree of independence In the

FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE IS, 1909
EXCITEMENT IN SCHOOLS.


One of those sudden waves Of hysteria
which from time to time sweep the
crowded tenements of the East Side, in
New York, temporarily closed three
public schools with an attendance of
than 1000 pupils yesterday, blocked
all traffic on Grand street for an hour,
and was not quoted until the reserves
we're called out. Beyond the fact that
many parents have oflste been receiving
threatening letters demanding 81 from
each family, on pain of having their
children murdered, there is no explana
ton.
First a gust of wind carried the IN
easy tattoo of fire engine on the gallop
to the pent-up children of school that
houses 2, 800 pupils; the engine whistled
sbrilly, little girl screamed in answer,
and in a minute the Railways we're filled
with q mob of shrieking, fighting boys
and girls and panic.strickeu mothers
from nearby tenements we're clawing and
kicking st the outside Of the street doors.
AS If by presrrsngement, another pass
ing engine chafed the nerves Of another
set Of children in q second school. The
rumor spread through the excited, surg
ing streets that the school was on fire.
Before the crowds could get to 1t, there
was q shout that third school had heen
blown up by the Black Hand.
Then there Was no holding the people.
Parents fought with the police for their
children, and msny were torn and
bruised In the scuffle. All traffic came
to stop, and it was long before order
was restored.
All the East Side schools had to be
closed an hour earlier than usual. 1t
was found impossible to get more than
half the normal attendance, and those
thst did return could not study.

LATEST DEAL
REEVES TALK
Of RAILROAD
MANY BELIEVE THAT THE I'LL
NoIs CENTRAL, NOW THAT IT
HAS CONTROL OF THE CEN
TRIAL OF GEORGIA WILL Elk
TEND THE LATTER INTO PEN
SAcOLA.

The deal consummated in New
York Wednesday afternoon whereby
the Illinois Central acquired control
% the Central of Georgia railroad has
revived talk in Pensacola of a new
railroad coming into this city: Many
are of the opinion that the Illinois
Central will now extend the Central
of Georgia into this port, thus secur-
ing an outlet to the gulf in addition
to New Orleans, where it has not the
facilities or room that can be acquir-r
ed in this city.
The recent visit of the Hartman
party ia Pensacola, coupled with the
fact that the Illinois Central now has
tracks within seventy miles of Pensa-
cola, causes many to believe that the
big system is preparing to extend
the tracks into this city, where SUI
6cient waterfront property, as well as
liberal franchises can be secured
upon the proper showing being made.
1t has been stated by parties ia
miliar with conditions that the Cen
trail % Georgia would have been ex-
tended to this part years ago but for
the attitude OF certain officials of
that road who had interests in Savan-
nah which would not be benefited BY
such an extension
