Grand Total So, 1922, 1904. sc
You note that the total valuation,
including one-baIf million for pub
lie utility corporations is $65 ,658 90
less than that of Brookhaven, yet
Mc('omb has five schools for white
children and one for negroes: en-

thirty-four teachers for the white
schools and two for the negro
schools at a total expense per

of five other teachers with side is

Music. Expression. Applied Art,
Stenography and Manual Training.
While at the Brookhaven Schools
we find employed one principal and
twenty teachers for white schools
and eight for negro schools at a
cost of 81 .665; while the school ex-
pense If about the same. You note
the difference in the number of
schools and teachers employed at
McComb and at Brookhaven, and
difference of 1891 in expense ac-
count The enrolment at McComb
for 1928 was 1890: at Brook
haven it was 1920. The question
naturally arises, how is it done?
Well. to begin with, the salary is
scaled with a range from $40 to $85
for the white teachers, and for the
two negro teachers. $50 and $40
While the McComb schools have

CITY SCHOOL QUESTIONS
Mayor Heuck's Address Before the
Board Of Aldermen in Session
Last Night.

] We have asked you to meet with
US this evening to discuss ways and
means.
| To certain extent we find our
selves embarrassed for want of
funds to continue the Public School
at the present rate Of increasin 2
expense and decrease in revenue.
Speaking for myself, and am
sure this Board will endorse the
sentiment, we do not want to do
anything that might deprive any
child of the advantage of education,
but we must call halt somewhere
In the year 1910, the real and per-
sonal rolls showed a valuation of
I$2, 737 .030. Our receipt from the
State distribution at So per capita,
were $3,806.01, and from Lincoln
county. for pulls, $1.0l8; while the
cost for salary at schools was $12.-
1888. This year we are confront
ed with shrinkage both in real
and personal. The rolls show a
total of So, 388, ,562, including S115,-
554 for public utility. or a loss of
$S48, 468 in value.
At the last session of the Legis-
lature, the per capita has been
raised from So to $2.25. and yet
the City share of the distribution
is but 1900. due it is claimed, to
a smaller enumeration of the chill
dren in separate school district,
though greater enrolment than
ever before at schools while from
the collection of poll tax we receive
but $3.50, due to new regulation
regarding the distribution of this
fund.
The expenses at the schools have
steadily increased, while the rev.
enues have decreased.
These remarks are not intended
as a criticism. but are made only
for the sake of comparison of re-
ceipt and disbursement during the |
years 1910 and 1914.
| know that the attendance has |
greatly increased. and that neces.
sarily demands the increased ex-
pense. AS | understand it. the
Public School System contemplated |
only a Literary course, up to and |
including the eighth grade, which |
fultills in my mind, the plan and |
purpose of the establishment of the
Public School System
On the other hand, by the crea-
tion of a separate school district,
we are enabled to establish the
HiRss School Department, and, on
the present arrangements, without |
extra expense to the partrons of
this Department; for which you
are to be commended, and the City
congratulated.
If we continue in the High |
School work, without frills. fancies.
or Innovations (aIl of which, no
doubt. are good), it is possible, by
the practice of judgment and
economy, to finance the proposition
without an extra levy or charge
for this Department.
A great deal has been said about
the fine school work and innova-
tions in the schools of our neigh
boring city of McComb. On a re-
cent visit to McComb 1 had an
opportunity TO investigate their
means and methods of financing.
McComb has a greater population
than Brookhaven, therefore receiv-
ing a larger proportion from the
State distribution. five mill levy
for school purposes, and city poll
tax of $1.00.
