RELATION OF THE DUNNELLoN
DISTRICT TO THE SCHOOL
SYSTEM OF MARION
COUNTY

To the Editor Dunnellon Advocate:
Inasmuch as there has been much
criticism of the administration of the
school interests of Dunnellon, and |
many assertions that they were not |
being treated with the proper consid-
Grafton by the county authorities,
feel that it is due the good people of
your town and the balance OF the
county to know something of the con-
ditions that have existed and do exist
in the matter of schools.
At the time that the appropriations
were being made for the year 1910
1911 it was found by the final report
that the Dunnellon school for the pre-
vious year had made an average OF
"a, which, at the same rate that the
remainder of the county was receiv-
ing, would have made an appropria-
ton of $211.50 per month for the reg
ular county term of six months. The
county board, however, made it $215.
The county board knowing that the H.
nances of the Dunnellon district were
such that it would be utterly impossl-
BILE to supplement salaries or furnish
another teacher from district funds
for the regular term, and then extend
the term for the usual extension OF
two months. conceived the possibility
of operating the school with three
teachers, which with an average OF
"a would make an average of little
more than 81 pupils to the teacher, or
with the enrolment of 100 would
make the largest number at any one
time for any teacher AZ.
In consideration of the exhausted
finances of the district and, further
in consideration of the fact that there
had been been one graduate from
the twelfth grade for each of the last
two years and considering the
amount of energy and expense of car
rying the last two high school grades
and also considering the fact that the
school had but very limited library
facilities and no illustrative apparat
MS for the advanced grades. and, fur
Their. that it is the best Judgment o
practical school men that a senio
high school without sufficient teach
inc force and illustrative material il
in a large measure poor makeshif
for a high school of the first rank
In consideration of these conditions
If was the judgment of the sehoo
hoard that Dunnellon. as we'll as SOM
other places of the county, could wori
much more thoroughly and satisraS
torilv as a junior high school, am

it was decided to reduce
the curriculum to that of junior, or |
ten-grade school, where the energies |
Of the school could be most econom- |
ically and advantageously exercised |
The superintendent recognized
from the beginning that the only diff
ficulty in the way of successfully op-
Grating the school with three capable
and willing teachers was the fact that
the school building was constructed
for four teachers, and it would proba-
bly, necessitate keeping more pupils
in one of the three rooms than could
be seated comfortably. A request
from the school to be allowed to have
certain grades come in the forenoon
and return home, and other grades to
come in the afternoon, was sent Ito
the superintendent and agreed to.
This arrangement was not satisfac-
tory to the town and number of rep
resentatives came before the county
board and asked that they be allowed
an extra teacher at $50 per month.
which the county board granted out
of county funds, thus furnishing one
more teacher than the school was en-
titled to under an equitable appropria-
| ton of the county funds.
The district trustees recommended
that salary of $3.50 per month be
paid the principal, which the county
| board deemed more than necessary,
particularly when the district was IN
such a pressed condition, financially
and when the county appropriation
would not allow a fair compensation
to the other teachers with this sal
airy paid to the principal, so they fix
ed the salary at 1925 per month fol
the current term, which, considering
the size of the school and the amount
of work to be done, is good compen
sation compared with the salaries Of
corresponding places in the state.
! 1t is possible that the teachers
were worth more pay, but the situa
ton would not justify it.
In the beginning of the term, whel
the district warrants were first is
sued, they were refused payment b!
the banks on account of there bein'
no funds on hand, which action woul'
; have had the effect of putting then
. at a discount or out of the market a
together, but at the suggestion OF tn
superintendent the county boar
passed a resolution guaranteeing tn
payment of district funds for the cul
rent year, which at once put them a
! par.
, To show that it was and is absC
, lutely necessary to hold the expen'
es of the district to an economical b;
, sis it is but necessary to state tia
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1911-04-21

the present outstanding warrants OF |
the district amount to $2135.O9, and
the collections for last year were only |
$1103.53.
1t has been the policy of the coun- |
ty board to operate the school just
as efficiently as the means at COM
mand would justify, and we are firm
" of the conviction that every move
from the county authorities has been
for the betterment of the school, and
having in mind the protection of
those who in times past advanced
funds to the district with which to
partially pay for the building of a
good school house and to carry the
operating and incidental expenses.
Two of the outstanding warrants are
old and bear interest at the rate of 6
per cent, the face of these alone be-
ing $1,000.
1t has been asserted that the coun-
ty did not assist in the building of
the school house, but in looking over
the minutes of the proceedings of the
board l find that at one time they
appropriated $3.50 for the Dunnellon
school house, and | find in the war
rant register where they issued war
rants to the contractors amounting to
| 1880 on the building.
Within a very short time l shall
send you for publication a detailed
statement of all the outstanding war
rants showing the number, date, to
whom, for what given and the amount
of each.
The purpose of this article is to
show conclusively to one who is hon
estly seeking correct information, and
who has no axe to grind, that the
county has dealt not simply justly,
but with hberality, toward the Dun
Mellon district in the appropriation of
county school funds, and has super
intended with discretion the spending
of her own funds recently, and to as
sure the people of the Phosphate
City" that we are heartily interested
in her educational welfare.
1t is not claimed that Dunnellon
: gets back as much as she pays into
; the county treasury on the general
| school fund. If she did this it would
l destroy entirely the public schoo
: system. inasmuch as it is always the
: lot of the richer. districts to pay more
/ into the general fund than they car
. hope to get back. This would be true
: to a larger extent of Ocala. If th'
t richer districts received back all the!
pay into the general school funds
; there would be numbers of small
: schools that could not run a month
