receiving school funds from the state
government on the basis of thou
sands of children who never enter
schools. Selfshness would dictate
opposition of these parishes. ca
Objection may be offered to giving a
schHol board the power to levy taxes
without submitting the proposition to
a vote Of the people. This it seems
to me is not very serious objection.
In the first place, the people should
elect membersh p on the school
boards their best and most compe-
tent citizens and business men: and,
in the second place, the budgets of
expenditures of every parish would
be required to be itemized and ap-
proved by the State Board of Edu-
cation.
The plan deserves the careful con-
sideration of all the citizens OF the
state, and when it has been properly
studied / believe it will receive the
approval of the thinking people of
the state.
Yours very truly.
T. H. HARRIS,
Supt. of Public Education.
Report of Committee on Resolu-
tons.
Your committee appointed to form
ulate the recommendations Of this
convention upon the important mat
ters which have been under conad-
GRAFTON by the convention beg to sub
nit the following:
The transcendent duty of the state
is to educate it's people. During The
course of the present great war in
which our country is engaged and
after the terms of peace there will
be a more imperative need for
highly educated cstizenry than ever
before Louisiana must provide for
the increased needs of its children
for education. That the state is not
now providing adequate educatiinal
opportunities for all is evidenced By
the facts that approx mately fifty
thousand white children and a
greater number of negro children
were not last year enrolled in any
school, that an expenditure Of ap-
five millions of dollars
would he required to build the school
houses now needed in the state, ana
an annual increased expenditure OF
three million dollars is necessary for
the proper maintenance of the
schools.
In order for the state to meet the
demands for the right kind OF edu-
cation for all it's children and to
justly distribute the opportunities
and burdens of education. we rec
ommend that the necessary legisla
tive and constitutional change be
made to provide:
