with the tendency OF an inferior serv-
ice. The importance Of the task of
preparing our youth for useful citi-
Zenship was minimized In that the
comp ensatiOn was not based upon the
value of the teachers service to the
naticn. but upon the price that serv-
ice could be hired at
Want Good Teachers
There is therefore a tendency
among the school boards throughout
the United States TO maintain the
present salaries paid to teachers, but
to exact an adequate service therefor.
Thus, the slogan is no longer one
that cries for higher salaries, but one
that demands better teaching for the
better salaries now being paid.
These newer conditions have
raised in most serious manner the
question of school support. or rather
the question of taxation In order that
the schools may receive an adequate
support. Allowing Tor local condi-
tons. which vary to a considerable
degree, the general tendency is for a
better tax rate in support of the
schools.
in dealing with this subject we
must come to the realization that
within the past half century the
schools have rendered greater serv-
ice than ever before. Let us not for
get that we send children to school at
an earlier age and keep them there
for longer time. Besides, school
TRIMS in themselves have been length
ened. Special studies have been in

of years ago, are now being done for
the children.
Again, schoolhousing has expert
enced a remarkable transformation
Schoolhouses are now built to ensure
teacher and pupil. Their arrange
ment and equipment are designed to
make for greater efficiency. School
architecture not only lends itself to-
greater dignity and grace in design,
but also to greater utility and service.
This great change in the manner
of housing the chil6ren and providing
for their educational welfare also nee
ssarily implies a greater cost, which
leads us to recognize the fact that
while the country has never in its his
tory expended more money for the
cause or education, IL has never re-
ceived more and better quality OF
education than 1t does now
Cost Never Less
Besides, it should be stated. and +
am here relying upon those who have
made careful study OF the subject,
that in the light of the country's per
capita wealth, the cost of education
has never been less since the estab-
lishment of the common schools In
the country.
We are naturally inclined to hold
that while our total expenditures for
education have reached enormous
figures we are also paying more per
pupil capita for education than ever
before. That is quite true, but when
measured in the light OF quantity ana

ability TO pay for education, the cost
is considerably less.
The problem OF school tsxation is
nevertheless before US. If we are to
maintain high standards in the teach
ing service and provide schoolhousing
that shall be modern there must also
be an adequate tax revenue.
While most of our problems are
local we should understand that edu-
cation is not solely local matter,
that it is a state and to some extent

recognized the duty Of the nation and
