TYPHOID FEVER


MEMPHIS. Tenn, July a.
The attack OF malaria which laid
up George MoriRrty, manager OF
the Memphis Southern associa'
ton club. and for many years
the Detroit Tiger third baseman,
has developed into a very Sc

probably will be necessary for
George to pass up his club for
the season and permit another

The Meridian times. (Meridian, Idaho) 1909-1938, 1916-03-17
J. A. FENToN GIVES HIS IDEAS
One of Our Heavy Tax Payers Claims
The System Should be Changed

A report is being circulated that
certain parties are seeking to knock
out the high school," So far as / am
aware this is a mistake. The GER
tain parties referred to are endevor-
ing to effect reorganization of our
high school on basis within the
means of the taxpayers.
On looking over my 1915 tax re-
ceipts, for the SEA of the SEA Sec
IL, Twp. 3 N, r. 1 w, 40 acres,
I find the following items:
Meridian Independent School dis
trict $57.51; Rural High School dis
trict No. 1, $49.29, total $106.S0, or
$2.67 per acre school tax.
Assuming that the assessor has
treated us all alike, what an enor-
nous amount of money to squeeze
out of a small community ? $2.67
per acre To say nothing of the viii
lage contribution.
Now a certain element in Meridian
will no doubt think and argue that
this is all right, perhaps rather re-
gard it as joke. But it is just such
work as this, that is making the ow-
Inership of property undesirable, and
further development of the state all
but impossible. The worst knockers
we have with us are the men who are
always bowling for bonds. One re-
suit is seen in Meridian, in the stag
nant conditionSof our schools. In the
past ten years, according to Official
records, the school population and
attendance has been practically at q
standstill. This of course refers only
to grade schools and Meridian bears
1.-THE distinction of having the great
| est bonded indebtedness according to
lschool population, of any school dis
| ltrict in the state.
Now the proposition is this: The
| five trustees of Rural High School
District No. /, tender their resigna-
| tions, in a body, to the State Com
missioner of Education and request
him to. step in and organize a high
school at Meridian as part of the
| local Independent school system.
Good authorities have pronounced
this the most practical solution OF
our rural high school muddle. and a
first step to real economy and eff
cheney.
The state educational department
stands ready to assist us, the rural
high school being recipient of state
aid.
Where you see waste and extrav-
agance you always see inefflciency
conversely, thrift--economy and eff
cheney go hand in hand.
| The good business maxim should be
tried on Meridian school affairs The
| taxpayers are getting tired of this
extravaganza and poor results.
| j. A. FENTON.

ceive not over $40 a month more
than the other teachers. Supervision
is top-heavy when two superintend-
ents have supervision over two
schools with an aggregate attendance
of only 331. Don't you think SO?
Many ask why conditions have not
been remedied before this. One rea-
son is. that even if their administra-
tion is failure, we cannot expect a
school board to declare itself unnec-
essary and legislate itself out of ex-
stence. The initiative must be taken
| by the people, at a public meeting.
One person however, who is respon-
| sible to degree for the present con-
dition is Miss Ivy Wilson, county
superintendent, who may be good
official, but one who has paid little
attention to the problems of our dis
trict. One reason assigned is, that
some time in the past she secured a
| legal opinion that rural high school
once formed could not dis-organize.
With this conclusion, she has evil
IDENTIFY dismissed the subject from
| her mind. This would practically
mean that group of the sovereign
citizens of Idaho, tired of one plan
that had proved failure, could not
not turn and work under another
section of the same statute. We are
from Missouri.
| This is also in controvention to the
opinion of Commissioner of Educat-
tion Sisson, who thinks we can carry
out the plan suggested, and also Of
| fers to come down, accompanied by
Supt. Mccoy and Miss Wilson, and
attend a meeting to be arranged by
| the Meridian people. He will bring
along an opinion from the attorney
| general.
| 1t is said that the difficulties we
| are having are duplicated in every
part of the state where rural high
school is conducted, although it is
said the Meridian situation is the
worst example. The law is defective
and every school officer is aware. of
this. The people of District No. Is
should be just as anxious as we are
to return to the old system, and Mr..
Moreland has indicated that such Is
| the wish of his neighbors, but. like
us, have been patiently waiting for
someone to point a way out of the
ldifficulty.
Personalities should not enter into
this movement, and the only object
lof the Times is to further some plan
Ito relieve the taxpayers OF the pres
lent high school tax, and we believe
lit can be accomplished along the line
lsuggested.
