England Wants One Devoted to Litora-
ture--Mr, Shorter's Comment.
There is much discussion at present
in England over the academy of lit
erature which those interested in IT.
erary affairs desire to found. Maurice
Hewlett has written to an English pc
riodical that the business of the selec-
ton of members is to be the work of
himself and Douglas Freshfield.
The difficulty Of selecting members
that would be accepted unanimously
by author and book lovers is mani.
fest. The story of Zola Is recalled.
The French author after having been
received in England with considerable
enthusiasm said with regard to the
French academy: "Now | am safe.
shall drop into It as easily as sou
into a slot" But NJ. lola was never
elected to. the academy.
There is one literary organization In
London which is doing much practical
and needed work-the Royal Literary
fund. Poverty is hardest to bear
when 1t is accompanied by imagiua-
ton In the victim writes Mr.. Shorter,
'and | have known many cases where
the Royal Literary fund committee has
helped struggling authors whose pen.
ury must seem almost incredible to
the ordinary literary clubman, or, In
deed, to the Fleet street journalist. In
the literary life prosperity and merit
have absolutely no kinship."

Sam Houston was idolizcd by south as

SHALL THE SCHOOL BOARDS OR
THE PEOPLE LEVY
SCHOOL TAxFS7


This is the query considered editorial
" by the Times Democrat in its issue
OF April rs.
The answer may be direct and EN-.
phatic.
The people through their accredited
and authorized officials will levy the
taxes for the schools as heretofore.
Why should approval be given to this
imosationf
y i because it has been suggested by
s tcfse urged by Superintendent
isarrisf
This scheme would call for an amend
ment 10 the Constitution Of the State,
which, If submitted to the people, would
be overwhelmed in defeat.
The functions of the State Superin-
tefdent of Education and of school
boards are definite. And as these are
now vested with the fullest authority
within their sphere they should be well
satisfied without reaching for greater
authority and power.
Candidly, the proposition Is ridiculous
but Il must be considered from the
view Of the serious.
0f recent years the school authorities
Of the State have been gradually assum-
ing prerogatives which is intensitfying
resentment and unpopularity
Let Che Superintendent and the school
boards stick to their text. In palmer
words to their present functions as pro-
vided BY law and the people through
their officials charged with such duty
will levy aud win collect all the taxes, of
which the schools will have their fun
share
This scheme of Superintendent Har-
ris Is indirectly a reflection on the State
Il Is d diserdit Of the people, whose re-
spouse III aid 81 schools has always been
generous.
