RuRAL SCHOOLS NOT TO BE- SAC.
RtFIcEp IN PROVIDING FOR
STATE INSTITUTIONS
Tallahassee, April. 1921.

Tallahassee, April, 1871.
Hon. Bayard F. Floyd, Orlando. Fla.
Ny dear Mr.. Floyd: ! appreciate
very much your sletter of March ~
and I want every man and woman in
Florida to feel that as long as oc-
cupy the position of public servant
in the Office of attorney general that
they have the right to. and it is de-
sired by me that they do, express their
views to me and offer suggestions
touching all great public matters.
A committee from the state board
of education and the state board of
control will meet at Tallahassee on
the 18th day of April, to discuss the
proposed budgets for the. institutions
OF higher learning, and we shall be
glad to have at that meeting the as
sistance of any citizen of Florida,
who feels he or she may have some
thing of value to offer to this joint
committee.
There is no member of the COM
mittee who needs to be told that
these institutions are important, Meth
er is there any one in Florida, who
possesses the power to cause any
member of this committee to more
thoroughly realize the Importance of
these institutions than is already
realized by members of the commit
tee. Therefore, arguments along this
line would be a waste of time.
1t is my opinion and the opinion Of
the members of the state board OF
education, with whom / have discuss
ed the tentative budget, that it would
impose a burden too heavy for the
tax payers of Florida to bear.
The cold facts are these, our state
millage if adopted as suggested, and
other public necessities of the state
are taken care of, the state levy for
the next year and the year after viii
be more than 16 " mills; this is more
than the people of Florida can stand,
and thereafter, some Of us think that
they need just little bit of protec-
ton, and / am satisfied that quite a
good many items contained in the
tentative budget will be eliminated
with the result that it will be reduc-
ed in a considerable amount.
realize that this is a very delicate
subject to deal with and that we can
not apply the same rule of economy
to educationl facilities that we would
apply to other institutions, and it will
be our desire to favor budget pre-
sented to the legislature, which will
meet all the real needs of the edu-
cational institutions in Florida, and at
the same time will not impose 40 un-
bearable burden upon the taxpayers.
i We must also bear in mind that the
institutions of higher learning do not
form the foundation and bedrock of
the education of our citizenship, and
therefore, adequate care and consider
alton must be given to rural schools.
With best wishes, am yours very
truly,
(Signed) RIVERS H. BUFORD,
Attorney-G General.
