LARGE INTERESTS INVOLVED
Sevcnty-eight Localities Have Fol-

Tax officials yesterday looked with
nope upon the action Of The supreme
court of appeals in granting a rchear-
ing of the case of the city of Richmond
against the Drcwry- Hughes COMPANY
and the appeal In the case Of the city
against Q. II. Berry & Co. The priu-
cipIe involved in both Of the cases Is
that of the right of localities to fix
the rate of taxation upon merchants
capital. A favorable decision in either
case will dispose of both.

city appealed from the Judgment Of

TUESDAY CLUB SPEAKER
Tells of General school Ncesls-Most
Expensive and Extensive Part Of
City's Governing Function.

THE General Needs OF Schools"
was the subject of DR. J. A. c.
Chambers talk before the Tuesday
club at the Railroad Y. M. c. A. at
/ o'clock yesterday DR.. Chandler
pointed out three important needs of
these public institutions of learning
money, extensive courses of study,
and support of the open-air classes.
According to DIR. Chandler the peo-
pie do not seem to understand that
schools cost money and are the most
expensive part of a city government.

they care for one-flfth of the popu-
lation. and If proper care is given it
means expense.
In all other cities of Richmond
size 33 la per cent of the 'city's
revenues are spent in the public
schools. Richmond has never reach
ed this mark Her highest has been
the expending of 81 per cent. though
possibly this year will show a cost Of
as per cent.
DIR. Chandler impressed the citizens
present with the need of greater IN
terest in and support of the schools.
DR.. Chandler also contradicted such
expressions that the schools deal in
thrills and fads. Dressmaking, mil
linery and cooking are not fads. but
are practical, To some. Latin would
be thrill: to others cooking would
be fad. Both are necessary to sup
ply the demands and needs OF the
pupils. There are no such things as
thrills and fads, there must be a
choice of courses.
Dr. Chandler concluded his talk
with q plea for the open-air schools
and the beneficial work they are do
