New Orleans public schools had a
spelling test recently. About twenty
I've thousand pupils participated. In
every grade the results showed the
girls made better records than the
boys, and this in face OF the state
ment that more boys are average in
various grades than are the girls. An
other curious fact is that more girls
than boys are being graduated from
public schools generally. This sure
" means that IN few years the
women win be the educated portion
Of the community. No better argu-
ment for votes for women can be
advanced. It would place the ballot
in Intelligent hands and raise the
standard Of voting to that OF an m
tellisent citizenship.

STATE LEVY FOR SCHOOLS.
Department Of Education Would
Have Revenue Prorated to All
the Counties.

The state department of education
has recently completed a compilation
of some interesting data concerning
the cost of school maintenance
throughout the state and the rela-
ton of school costs to the present fl
nancial income of school districts.
The data was compiled from the re-
ports of the county superintendents
for the school year of 1914-15.
The data is contained in a letter
which is being sent to county super
intendents of the state this week,
and brings up the question of a
state levy for school purposes. The
ends by expressing
belief that a state school levy is the
only means of equalizing the school
burdens of the state.
The annual per capita cost in the
different counties ranges from $147
to $10.05, the room cost from 1903 to
$2710. The comparison of the finan-
cial Resources of the richest and
poorest districts is as 80 to 122,5S4.
FOUR COUNTIES PER CAPITA.
The following per capita cost is
in four counties, showing
high, average and low districts:
Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1916-06-08

In it's summary the letter adds:
"The result of these Investigations
clearly indicates the inadequacy of
the present system of school revenue
and apportionment to meet fairly the
needs of all the pupils of the state.
This conclusion is based upon the
following facts: Many of the richer
districts, because of their greater
taxable resources, have funds avail
able for school purposes that amount
to far more than their school bur-
den demands; on the other hand,
the poorer districts are struggling to
maintain adequate school facilities
with utterly insufficient funds to
meet their needs.
WHERE BURDEN FALLS.
1.-THE real significance OF this fact
VIII be understood when it is real
lied that the heaviest burden of
school support, amounting, indeed, to
SO per cent of the total cost, falls
upon the school district
Another important consideration
in this connection is the fact that
there Us great disparity in the
costs of school maintenance in the
various districts throughout the
state; indeed, some of the poorer dis
tricts bear the heaviest burdens, due
to large enrolment and consequent
heavy expenditures.
"a consideration of the facts leads
to the conviction that the only way
In which the school burden may be
equalized satisfactorily and the needs
of children in the poorer as well as
the richer districts be fairly met, is
through moderate state school levy,
based on the aggregate taxable prop
erty of the entire state and prorated
to counties at, say, SIC per capita.
Nearly SO OF this amount is already !
provided by the income from the
state school lands, leaving a little
over 81 per capita to be raised by
a state levy"

In his speech delivered at the
farmers picnic near Weiser last Fri
day, Governor Alexander advised the
eliminating of bankers, lawyers, doc
tors and other professional men from
the official roster of the state, In
the interest of good government; but
Senator D. W. Davis rather put one
over on the chief executive, when
IN following the great reformer 'he
called attention to one omission in
the governors plan of elimination
that might have added much force to
his argument; Senator Davis said the
governor should have included the
clothing merchant in his plan Of
elimination, and the response he got
from the audience rather left the
Impression that the people agreed
with his contention.
