Lamar School Taxes-A Comparison
In 1876 Lamar school district
No. Ia had 33 2-3 per cent of the
school children of Prowers county and
only l8 per cent of the assessed val
uation of the county. This large
school population is here in spite of
the fact that Lamar charges the high
est school tuition of any town in the
valley. Lamar school population
would be increased 20 per cent if the
tuition rate were reduced to the level
charged by neighboring towns.
A school population so out of pro-
portion to the property valuation
would naturally be expected to require
= high rate Of taxation to provide nee
essary school facilities.
However, the local school taxes have
been held down to a rate no higher
than for the average of this size as
will be shown by the following figures
provided by the county treasurers of
the respective counties.

SCHOOL NOTES
Savings System Has Fine Record

Last spring the local banks agreed
to cooperate with the schools in a
campaign to promote the teaching of
thrift in the schools. Whenever a pu
pill has saved one dollar he can take
it with card of introduction from his
teacher to a local bank and start a
bank account. He is given a savings
bank and when his savings reach ten
dollars or more on time deposit he is
paid interest. The bank reports back
to the teacher who cooperates by Civ
ing occasional lessons on the value and
need Of saving. The thrift campaign
is becoming more popular each month.
The Lincoln school more than doubled
its savings reported in the three banks,
building and loan association, and in
the postal savings bank during the
month Of November. The grade
schools report savings as follows at
the close Of the month Of November:

the unusually large proportion Of

the comparatively low levy, there is
no floating debt, school warrants are
