few years ago a fireman on last

and fell beneath the locomotive. He
was horribly mangled and lay for

Mr. Wilkinson states: The report
for the year 1911 is not before me;
hence. / am unable to give hgures
for that year However, there was
tax levy of mills-enough to
raise about $10,0OO-which with the
snm received from the state does not
necessarily indicate an increase in
expenses, but does indicate proDa-
BILE decrease in the tax rate.
/ wish to call your attention es-
pecially to one or two items IN the
above tabulation. Notice there are
a thousand more pupils in school IN
1910. only four years after local tax
had been in operation, which was
first begun in 1907. Next, the aver
age monthly cost per pupil was re-
duced from $3.50 to $1.14-six
cents Notwithstanding the
number of teachers in 1900 was "a
and had increased to 81 in 1910,
and also in view Of the fact that the
average salaries of teachers had in
creased from $40 per month to $50
and the number Of schools had re-
remained practically the same.
The average monthly cost per
white pupil in Terrell county is
$235.
Local Tax Is a Necessity.
For without the support of the To-
cal tax the country schools cannot
nossibly operate this fall. In the
future the schools would fall back
to the five-months' term. Commun1-
ties that desired a nine-months'
school. as we now have in all the
schools in the county, would be com
PEELED to go back to that makeshitt
of a systematic tuition plan
which is most unsatisfactory IN eV-
cry way. Tuition method adds
great deal more trouble to already
heavily burdened teachers. Much OF
the tuition is never collected. Teach
ers' salaries are lowered and the
best teachers go elsewhere and find
more profitable positions. Many pa
rents with large families would be
unable to pay two or three dollars
per month per pupil Attendance
in the schools would be lowered
more than so per cent.
The safety and prosperity of
country depends upon the enhghten-
ed citizenry. I have not space to
write upon this phase of the subject
or to write about the utility and
beauty of an education. Neither can
| find space in this issue of The
News to trace the history of local
taxation for schools from the time 1t
was successfully tried by the early
colonists that settled upon the At
lantic seaboard until now. All towns
and counties that have tried it have
always held to it as the best way to
operate the schools.

the Question as He Sees 1t.
Editor Dawson News: We have
reached a crisis in the educational
affairs of Terrell county. The time
is near at hand when the voters
shall decide whether an adequate
supDort of the country schools will
be maintained or they shall turn
their backs upon the country boys
and girls. The disturbance and OBJ
iections that have arisen concern
ing the local school tax, as you
know. have been caused by the coun-
ty board of education placing last
wear the tax rate at the limit allow
ed by law. This action on the part
of the board was found necessary as
explained in the last issue of The
News by the county school commits
sioner. Practically all the improve
ments in different parts of the coun-
~ have been made and paid for,
and there will be no need Of much
further outlay along this line. The
county board states that the rate this
fall will be reduced to three mills,
the amount necessary to operate and
maintain the proper standard OF our
schools. Then, in view # these facts,
why take away the very foundation
upon which rests the success of our
rural schools?
Mr.. H. A. Wilkinson, our former
school commissioner, compared the
year 1900, when the local tax was
not in operation, with the year
1910. under the local tax, as fol-
lows.

The recent discussions at the con-
crosses on hygiene and eugenics con-
Quoted in England and at Washington
have shown mainly how doctors disagree.
But it does not matter, provided the
fanatics and the lawmakers can be head
ed off from foolish measures based on
half-baked science and needless panic.
Perhaps only once has the civilized world
been so morbid about its health: In
'Marius. the Epicurean," Walter Pater
has given suggestive picture of the
cult of Hygeia in decadent Rome. But
there was no need for alarm then and
there is none now. New breeds Of men,
from whom the modern races spring,
were even then forming and now the
melting pot is simmering in the United
States; creation, not decadence, is In the
air, and alarm is needless. England has
suddenly discovered that for a century
it has been feeding its children to

is dismayed at consequences that might
have been foreseen. Parliamentary in

ton is a very real one. On the one
hand there is the desire to keep ones
self from being completely. absorbed In
the daily struggle for existence. The
longing for the printed word can never be
quite extinguished where once the ap-
petite has been INDUCED. The memory
persists of those spacious realms of hu-
man thought into which one just caughS
distant glimpse during the pleasant
idle days, at college, and cheerfully pass
ed by. On the other hand there is Tie
discouraging reflection that such read
ing as one undertakes must be necessa-
rily carried on by fits and starts. pro-
longed over ridiculous periods of time,
and without the assurance that the DOCK
begun will ever be finished. Under sucn
circumstances the proper answer would
seem to be that if the busy man of the
world is to do any serious reading at
all he must read little books, or else
bigger books condensed for the purposes
Of rapid consumption That this is
what the publishers both in this country
and in England believe would appear
from the present profusion of literary
handbooks, scientific handbooks. h1stor-
ical primers and the like. The pre-
sumption is that the tired business man
will pluck up the necessary courage
when confronted by a thin, small vol
ume which can be disposed of in few
half hours.
