Stop Practice Of Midwifery.

Amy Slaughter, colored. who does not
know how old she is, but whose daugh-
ter says she is 107 years old, has been
liberated by Judge Pugh upon her
promise to stop practicing midwifery.
Amy, who looks the age given by her
daughter, but is still quite active. was
taken before Judge Pugh on a charge
of failing to report to the health de-
partment that a child which she had
attended had infected eyes.
This woman is too old for me to
send to the workhouse," said Judge

wants to continue her profession. Pos

! schools was required to educate
nearly nine times as many chill
dren as the former group on
practically double the taxable
property. We were collecting
our school revenue by the coun-
ty unit system of taxation, less
than ten mills levied on all the
taxable property Of the county
would create a larger fund than
is paid out annually by the COM
Dined school districts of the
county for teachers.
"Where the county unit sys-
tenn is used for administrative
purposes many advantages may
be gained in an economic way.
This, Of course, depends upon
the IiberaIity of the law and the
desire Of the people to avail
themselves Of its privileges.
According to the United
States Bureau Of Education
twenty states of the Union are
now using the county unit sys-
TEN, or something similar, and
Of the states that have adopted
this system none have gone
back to the former single dis
trict system Of taxation. This
should be sufficient
recommendation for its adoption.
The change Of county unit
system of taxation will be oppos
ed for selfish reasons just as the
single school district system was
in the early settlements
IF America, and just as this op-
position has continued down to
the present time.
1T is from the county taxa
ton, rather than from loca. taxa
ton, that the greater part of
the necessary funds with which
to maintain a good school must,
in the future, be derived. Many
districts cannot, from local tax
alton, produce a sufficient sum
of money; short terms, poor
teachers, and weak schools are
the results Of the attempt to
make them produce it. 1t is on
ly county pooling of effort, to
maintain what is for the COM
mon good Of all, that good
schools can be maintained
throughout the state,
In closing | want to impress
upon school board members that
the county unit system of taxa
ton means uniform schools and
better schools throughout the
state and uniform tax over the
county. The levy will vary
some in the several counties of
the state but it will be a long
step in the right direction
