Effort to Give Every Child
in the Parish a Full
Nine-Month Term.

Under the management of Supt
Lyon, and with School Board that
has exerted every energy to provide
the means of developing the school
system of st. Tammany parish, re-
markable progress has been made in
educational facilities and the work
ing up OF interest in educational mat
ters. Today the youth of st. Tam
many parish is being given an, op-
portunity to prepare for a. high sta
ton In life and to become useful
citizens. The drudgery Of inef-
ficiency may now come to those only
who refuse to take advantage of the
opportunities offered. There is, how
ever. grave danger facing the fu-
ture, by reason of the shortage Of
funds for school purposes. This
shortage Is not only being felt in
this parish, but is a condition apply
Ing to the whole state. Other Sec
tions are providing for this lack o.
funds by the voting of special taxes
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1915-08-14
SOMETHING THAT MAY INTEREST EVERYBODY

for school purposes, and many of the
progressive school districts in st
Tammany parish have taxed them
selves for this purpose, but unless
all the districts m Ike this provision
for school maintenance, there will
be an inequality in the schools that
will place some districts at great
disadvantage. To avoid this, and
to give all the children of the parish
an equal chance, it, is proposed to
have general election making a five
mill tax for school purpose for the
whole parish. To avoid inequality
of taxation, it is proposed that any
district that has already voted a
special school tax shall be exempt
from this general five mill tax tc
the extent of the special school tax
it is now paying. For instance, If
district is now paying a four mill
tax, that amount will be deducted,
and it will only have one extra mill
to pay. II 1t is paying three mills,
it will have but two extra mills .tc
pay; and II it is already paying five
mills, it will have nothing extra to
pay. This would simply make q five
mill tax for school purposes through
out the parish.
This is an excellent proposition
and We hope the people throughout
the parish recognize the advantage
