In the second Of these articles on
education In Tennessee ! shall make as
symptoms
/. That the children of Tennessee are
ms worthy of education ms the children
OF any other state. That they need
education as much and that they will
profit as much by II.
2. Yhat the natural resources Of the
state and the native abllly Of the pco-
pie are such that the returns In wealth
and wealth producing power from high
degree OF the right Kind of education for
all the people viii be comparatively
large.
3. That we in Tennessee have already
attained such Il degree Of wealth and
prosperity that we are able to pay for
the education Of our children whatever
II may cost under wise, careful and
economical administration.
The population Of the state Is now
something more than $500, 600, The
assessed valuation Of the taxable prop
crty Is more than $4,000, 900 900. This
does not include the exemption of 81 600
Of personal property allowed each tax
payer. nor does 1t include nontaXable
bonds and other v0luahes, Nor Ia all
the property assessed at It's full market
value, even now,
II cannot. believe, be held as I'M
rea sonable TO expect q man with three
children to educate, and possessed OF
exemptions. to pay for the education OF
his children ns much as one dollar on
each 500 or $50 on his $4,000. Nor Ia 1t
unreasonable to expect group OF such
men to pay In the same ratio, even If
that group includes all the men Of the
city. the county or the entire state.
AS rule, taxes are not paid out Of
accumulated capital but out of current
incomes. Should It. however. be ncccs-
sary to pay out of accumulated capital,
and not out OF current incomes, II would
still not be too much. | am sure all
thinking men and women will agree II
were better for a man to leave to his
three children. well educated, $4,000,
than to leave to them $1,000. but fail to
make any provision for their education.
A tax Of 81 on the 800 taxable prop
erty In Tennessee would produce more
than S23, 600. 600 about two and half
times the present expenditure for edu-
cation In the state.

LESSON DRAWN
FROM NATURE
Robert S. Walker InStruCtS
Boy Scouts During Stay
on Mountain.
PROBLEMS OF MASTE R

The scoutmasters' training camp Of
the Chattanooga council OF the Boy
Scouts of America held at Camp Rae
coon Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 1917
was great success from many
angles. About thirty men went over
To- the camp by truck Saturday aft
ernoon and several others Joined the
eamp early Sunday morning. ON
reaching the camp the men organized
themselves in patrols, erected totem
and adopted patrol sign, The re-
suit was the following organizations:
Arrowheads, II. f. Wenning, leader;
totem, the arrowhead.
Owls, NJ. Fuller, leader; totem, the
owl; sign. n stentorian boot.
Ponchos, X. III. Willard. leader;
Totem, Scout Executive Bachmans
bulldog; sign, the Bachman smile.
II was a modest crowd OF men, ex-
cent?, the Owls, who let their en-
thusiasm run away with all semblance
OF naturalness in the size OF their
totem representing the nocturnal bird
that stood boldly in front OF their
quarters. The totem of the Ponchos
was real and animated. whose white
form might be observed jumping over
logs. lying out in the grass, romping
with men. and now growing at In
truders. Poncho, the pet bulldog be-
longing to Scout Executive Bachman,
became a favorite in the camp. but
around the campfire and in the midst
Of the Sunday services declared him
self bitterly opposed to the laws OF
gravitation, as discovered by Sir Isaac
Newton. Poncho persisted and In
sisted on attending these meetings,
and proved himself an excellent scout,
but every time q chestnut or q hick-
orynut dropped TO the ground on the
nearby mountalnside Poncho raised

literally for that which effects them
most and enables them to make the
wealth necessary for other purposes.
J That the people OF the state are able
to pay the amount necessary for the
proper support OF their schools and the
education OF their children Is indicated
also by the fact that last year the peo-
pie OF the state spent $4,000 900 for
tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, chewing to-
baco and snuff. To raise this amount
by taxation upon the present assessment
would require a tax rat OF 81 on every
500 OF taxable property. II the people
were to become 80 much In earnest
about education they would be willing to
use only three fourths OF the amount of
tobacco they now use. three cigars in
stead OF four. three cigarettes instead
Of four. three chews instead OF four,
three dips instead OF four, and would
put the money thus saved into the
fund, II would amount to an addition OF
Sll 800 900, making total OF $40, 500, 900,
or two and one-half times as much as
was spent last year. II II were pos
sible TO place a tax OF 33 Ia per cent. on
tobacco. and II the consumption were to
continue Mt the present rate. and at
present prices, 1t would add mode than
$l5, 000.0 900 to the present school fund OF
81. 900. 900, making a total OF $24,00000O.
That the people are able TO pay far
more literally for their schools than
they now do is shown again by the
fact that the people OF the state pay
approximately $500 900 a year for gaso-
line for automobiles. not including
trucks that are used for Industrial and
economic purposes. The investment in
these automobiles is approximately
800. 900 900. Interest on this amount at
per cent would be 100000, the de-
terloration in the value OF the automo-
bes Is approximately 16 per cent or $l6,-
100000 on the 500, 900. 900. the cost OF
tires cannot be less than $5.000,000.
This makes total OF Sal, 100000. much
more than 80 per cent. OF which is only
for pleasure.
These comparisons are made not for
the sake OF intimating that any OF these
expenditures are wrong, wasteful or IL
legitimate. but only to call attention
to the fact that the people who can
spend for these purposes so much as the
people OF Tennessee do spend can also
afford to spend reasonable amount
certainly more than 100000, for the
education OF their children, when they
are convinced OF Its Importance. and be-
come in earnest about 1t. Many other
similar comparisons might easily be
made, but these should be sufficient.

Children Are Worthy of
Education in Tennessee

shown clearly by the fact that last year
| they paid into the federal treasury In
| direct taxes accredited to the state more
than $3GOOO,OO0 In Indirect taxes
through impOsts, duties and otherwise
they probably paid another $90OO,OOO,
making a total Of 900 of federal
| taxes, Ave times as much as was paid
| for education and possibly nearly twice
NJ much as the 23,00OOOO which could
! he raised by tax OF ~ on the 500 OF
| taxable property, an amount which must
| be paid before the people OF the state
may hope TO have adequate educational
lopuortunities for all their children.
| Probably two-thirds Of the federal taxes
! paid by the people of the state was
used to dcfray the expense OF the World
| war, which we entered not because OF
! any mediate danger OF invasion OF our
| shores nor because OF the very great
damage that had been done to the prop
! erty or lives Of the American people,
| but that we might help make the world
safe for democracy, and advance the
cause of freedom among the people OF
! the earth. to the end that all people, in
! Guiding ourselves. might have fuller and
freer opportunity for individual deVel-
| opmcnt, economic and Industrial pros
! pcrity, and that national security might
| be more firmly established, But the re-
, suits of the war only make these things
possible for us In proportion as we pre-
pare ourselves for them. In this prep
aration education Is the most important
| factor.
In addition to the $45, 100000 paid into
the treasury of the federal government
the people also paid in taxes for other
| purpose than education to state,
county and city, about $4,000. 600. In
GLIDING the $4,000, 600 for education the
total tax paid for the state. county and
| city was about $27. 900 900. making a
total of $72O0 900 paid in taxes within
the year. II the taxes for education had
been wholly omitted the amount would
| have been reduced only one-eighth. II
| the taxes pair for schools had been
doubled 1t would have meant only the
addition of 81 in eight. so that for every
| $S nine would have had to be paid. The
additional burden would have been al
most unapprecable, but the results to
the efficiency of schools would have been
very great. The schools would prob
ably have been three to four times as
efficient as they were. 1t Is very unwise
for any people to pay large sums In
taxes and save n small per cent Of
money by failure to tax themselves
