teacher schools. The only saving
proposition is consolidation of one
teacher. schools into one teacher
schools.
Mind you,4 do not advocate the
proposition stated above. | am
merely pointing ont to you the
way that schools. may be run more
economically.
People ASA rule are willing for
schools to be abolished provided it
is some one else's school. But
.whenit comes home they are not
willing. And there is where the
difficulty arises for the Board of
Education. The board is expected
to employ teachers for all the
schools. The board wants to do
all that. The board is expected to
hire good teachers for all the
schools. The board wants to do
that. In order to do these things
the 'boasd must have money to
spend. And if the board has. mon
ey to spend the people must pay
taxes.
f10 centsta day is to much to
spend on the education OF your
child, or your nsighbors child,
then let's get together and find
some way of reducing the cost.
1 have offered you the only plan /
see. Frankly, / do not believe it
is feasible. Il do not believe we
can get the cost much below 10
cents,a day; $40 year;+$l50 for
Is years, the the full school life of
the child. IF we can beat that we
should dc so. But if we, can not
do you really believe that is too
much?
It's up to you, Mr.. and Mrs. Tax
payer, fathers and mothers of the
4,l8S. Are we going down?

Among other things he said we'd
ought to do as much for our reh-
gion as the old Jews did for theirs,
an while it was all right to lay up
for a rainy day, an to get ahead if
we honestly could, we should set
apart at least one-tenth of our ip-

GOING DOWN !?


I offered some data showing how
the funds were spent. 1t was my
purpose to. set out these facts with.
out argument. They were neither,
meant to defend or give offense.
This week I propose to give
those interested my opinions with
reference to certain school, ques-
tions. You are welcome. to agree
or disagree with me. / do not ex.
pect each reader to agree in every
thing Lsay. 1T may even be that
some will take Issue with me on
every point. 4Let that be as it
may. Here are some of the things
/ believe.
| believe that each and every one
of the,4 1888 children of school age
in Benton County is entitled to as
much Observation-Disclosures as the
peoplerare able to pay for
I believe these '4,188 children
ARE entitled to comfortable houses
in which to study.
/ believe these children are en-
titled to the best teachers possible
for the money spent.
/ believe that Benton County
should give her children, all of
them, s months school each year.
l believe the high schools are
essential and necessary to the well
fare of the children.
L believe the maj iority Of the peo.
pie are-satisfied with the dividends
on their investment in the eduea.
tion of their children.
OccasionallyI hear of some one
declaring that the schools are cost
ing too much. Il am sure that a
real lack, of understanding of the
situation causes these complaints,
Sometime ago, 1919, | think it
was, a friend of mine came to me
and said he thought too much taxes
had been levied for elementary
schools that year.
L asked him to go over the budg-
ct submitted by the board to the
court and show just where he
thought it could be reduced. ]
first asked him how long he
Thought the elementary schools
Eshould run. He said Is months
| then asked him how much he
thought an average teacher should
receive per month. He replied
"About $50"
i showed him the budget upor
which the court had based the taz
levy. 1t contained the name oi
every school in the countyrand the
approximate amount which the
board expected to spend at each
school, aud in no case did the
amount mentioned by my friend
as the avarage amount that should
be spent in school. TO this was
added the amount anticipated fol
desks, new buildings, administra.
tion and the various items that &C
to make up school system.
/ told him to point out any item
that he thought was unnecessary
or too great. He failed to hnd
any. ThenI asked him toffgure
the rate necessary to carry the
schools. He wouldn't do that but
said our system was sll wrong
that we ought to consolidate a lot
of our one teacher schools. i teld
him that that was exactly what we
were trying to do.
A great many of the inaccuracies
about school expenditures are like
that. Someone expresses an opin.
ion without any basis of fact be.
hind it. Another takes it up and
repeats Nit-and here it goes-and
it grows.
A man asked me the other day
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1922-02-24

fllul tHkb tfio bOdru' oHpfoy6u TWO
men twelve months in the yeer for
that purpose.
Oneman was employed for a Pc
-riod of Eve months as attendance
officer. He was paid 500 per
month for thes'fiye months. For a
short period. he could not look af-
ter the duties of the Office, and he
paid another man to help him to
make up for the time lost.
AS all counties viii receive State
funds hereafter on the daily aver
age attendance of pupils, and as
the records this year show a decid-
ed increase over last year. | am in
clined to believe the attendance
officer is a good investment. Let
that be as it may, the law specific
ally says that the Board of Educa-
| ton shall elect ansettendence ofic-
er.
The~way tofhave cheap schools
lis to keep lots of children in school.
Any time the board runs a school
with a small number of pupils that.
school is expensive. Onecfthe low
est priced teachers in the county
this year taught the, most expen-
I-sive school. That is to say, it cost
more per, pupil perymonth. The.
cost wassS3 per pupil per month.
The averege.for the county for the
schools closed to date ISL. 95 per
pupil per month. The average,
daily attendance for each teacher
is,30 pupils.
This cost lis based on teachers
salary only. The expenses would
raise it somewhat, say to so the
month. Or, to figure it in terms
of days and cents, 10 cents day.
I want to ask you in the name of
all that is fair does that seem an
.exorbitant amount to spend on the
education of a child-your child
enyone's child? Ten cents day
the price of plug of picnic
twist tobacco-the price of one
pound of ,pork-the price of two
coco coles.
At Crooked Greek the cost of m
Estruction was lowest. 1t cost less
than5 cents per pupil per month
there. The teacher there had an
.everage of more than SO for each
school day, Sc to be exact, and his
salary was $55 per month.
If schools were all that large
the relative cost per pupil would
be greatly reduced. And most of
the schools+would be that large if
ell the. pupils went to school.
AS matter of fact, / think 80
pupils per teacher makes nice
sized school. But that average
means that lots of schools run 40
daily and some only Is or less.
We may be able to work out
some reforms along this lines. Say
we have 900 pupils in. 30 average
schools. All right, let's increase
the average to 45. That cuts out
10 schools. And it saves approxi-
mately $4,000 for the tax payers
If the taxpayers want to save
money, there Is the ,one and only
place / know in the whole system
to do it. If your school is small,
average,less than 3d. Just go among
the patrons and get up petition
asking that your school be annex
ed to the nearest school. Send
that in to me, and I'll present tito
the board. I'll guarantee results,
too.
Now, L 'know-ahd you know j
know-pobody is going to gel up
any such petition as that. IN all
my experience eas as school man !
have neverknown school abolish

regarded as entirely possible that

East Nashville, 'lt9n.- Me effic ,ency of Thedford's } Slack-Dra aght, the genuine, herb, liver medicine, is vouched for by Mir. W. N. Parsons, a grocer of this city. "It is without doubt the best liver medicine, and don't believe could get along without 1t. I take 1t for sour stomach, head ache. bad liver, indigestion, and all other troubles that are the result of torpid liver.
 "I have known and used it for years, and can and do highly recommend if to every one. I won't go to bed with. out it in the house. It will do all ii claims to do. I can't say enough for it."
 Many other men and women through out the country have found Black. Draught just as MT Parsons describes valuable in regulating the liver to it's normal functions, and in cleansing the bowels of impurities.
