the social and moral uplift OF

for the social and moral uplift of
humanity.
Our public school system is a great
national blessing. 1t is founded upon
the eternal principle of the brother
hood Of man, and for that reason is
deserving of the good Will and sup
port of all earneSt-minded men and
women. 1t is the best institution yet
devised by nan for spreading the ben
efts Of education among all classes.
We are marching on to tremendous
issues. Great wrongs are to be right
ed, great abuses to be corrected,
great problems to be solved. No man
can say, readily and definitely, hat
the remedy shall be, and the solution
can come only through the power of a
| high and enlightened citizenship to-
ward which the public school is con-
tributing no lean part.
Let us, then, not attempt to weaken
or destroy the public school because OF
| it's imperfections, but rather should
we devote our best thought and talent.
and our energy, toward improving and
preserving it on account OF the untold
blessings it confers upon unnumbered
millions of our fellow beings who
would otherwise toll and suffer and
die without ever realizing that they
were living in a world of light, and col
or, and joy,-a world in which each
one of us may have a noble though
humble part.
It is the mission of the Louisiana
School Board Association to uphold
and upbuild the public school through
the concerted action of all it's mem
bers. 1t is a grand mission which de
mands for it's fulfllment the exercise
CT patriotism-a patriotism which
which means personal sacrifice in the
service of humanity. 1t is a mission
which requires for it's fullest develop
ment the contact of many minds ant
the cooperation of many wills.
, In this high and holy work ever,
school director in Louisiana is privil
, eyed to have a part, and his zeal il
, TIE cause will be increasingly great
, animated by the inspiring thought tina
The who serves his country, or con
munity, or his generation honorabl

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-03-14

In commenting upon the investiga-
ton of the Office of the state superin-
tendent the Pembina Express states
it's belief that "as a general rule
every dollar Of state money paid in
for any purpose whatever should be
paid to the state treasurer and no
money paid out until passed upon
by a board of audit" The Pioneer
Express is entirely right. The fee
system is bad, had been bad and
should be abolished from every de-
partment of the federal and state
government, and we believe 1t has
been abolished from most of them.
Fees are charges exacted from per-
sons desiring to engage in some spe-
cial business, to comply with some
special regulation, or to conform to
some particular demand of the state
law. They are intended to cover
the expenses of doing the business
made necessary by the keeping of
state records and accounts, and they
should be paid into the state treas
ury, and proper charges against
them should be audited and paid as
other bills against the state are al
lowed. The Tribune believes in pay
ing officials we'll for their work, and
in providing literally for all the nec-
essary expenses Of the state govern
ment But this should all be made
openly, and if there is a profit from
the fees received one Of two things
should be done-either the amount
of the fee should be reduced or the
profit should accrue to the state. In
the case of teachers, after allowing
literally for all the expenses and
services necessary in the work of
examination and certif1cation, if
there is still surplus, the fee should
be reduced to an amount sufficient
to cover expenses and charges, for
surely there is no harder worked,
poorer paid and more deserving class
of public servants, and no class that
deserves better at the hands Of the
people whose children they teach.
