A WISE MOVE
BY A. r. Thomas OF Lynchburg in Union Star.

The Department OF Public Instruc-
ton, under the charge of Hon r. G..
stearnes, 10 agitating the increase of
the State school fund something over
a million dollars and 1t la proposed
that this increase shall be set apart as
a separate fund for the assistance Of
the small schools in the poorer dis
tricts.
We regard this as emiaentiy wise.
The school authorities are slowly but
surely coming around to the doctrine
advanced by the writer about the be-
ginning Of this century. We then pro-
claimed the doctrine that the wealth
| OF the Stale should educate the chill
dren of the state and that the States
highest duty was To gather the taxes
In proportion To wealth and expend
the school appropriations according to
! need. We then held that the school
system was a State system and that
local support was supplementary.
| Both the educational forces and the
papers of the State were against US
at that time and in those dark days
but one man. Mr.. Wilbur l.. Norman,
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1916-01-13

gave us much announcement and
financial aid. We carried the matter
to the Constitutional Convention OF
Virginia and got but cold comfort, and
later to the General Assembly. where
in 1906 we succeeded in getting an
additional appropriation Of two hun-
bred thousand dollars per annum,
This with the high school appropria-
ton of fifty thousand dollars started
the movement that resulted In the
wonderful progress that has taken
place in educational matters in this
| State In the last tens years.
Credit for the high school idea. we
have always understood, was due Il
DIR. James Cannon. Jr.
IT il indeed a pleasant reflection thai
this great principle of State support
for schools, after so much huffeMng. Ii
at last coming into recognition and
acceptance that, II deserves. 1t is the
life-blood of the schools and 1t il to
be hoped that The incoming General
Assembly will lend willing ear to its
claims
