SCHOOL TAXATION PROBLEM

From out Of the mass OF reports
and discussion which has taken place
in the past week concerning the need
for a reduction In the cost OF oper-
ating the schools of this district
tangible results will be obtained.
So far a general spirit Of fairness
has been maintained. IL is appar-
ent that there is no desire to unduly
reduce the efficiency OF the schools.
The sole question is that OF securing
a measure OF relief from the present
burden OF taxation. That is a tusti-

fable end.
On the part of the board there is
manifest a desire to meet the wishes
of the committee appointed by
President Van Petten OF the Com
mercial club, whose recommenda-
tions we're made the basis of discus
sion at a meeting Tuesday evening.
Thus a start has been made which
will secure, IL not all the reduction
asked, at least two-thirds that
amount. In other words the budget
will be cut fully twenty per cent,
and It is possible, a greater redue-
tion can bo made after the board and
the superintendent go into the mat
ter more fully and in detail.
This, 1t was intimated, can be ac-
oomplished by lengthening the
High school day to eight study hours
instead Of seven. This will keep the
school in session until 4:15 D. m.
instead of 3:30.
Since there must be an acoommo-
dation, for the burden OF taxes is a
fact, and not theory, II is, II would
seem, desirable that the matter Of
the schedule and curriculum be left
to the school board and superlnten-
dent to adjust and operate within
the scope of funds suggested TO the
committe, or as near thereto as pos

will approve Of such course, and
while there will be a vast difference
of opinion as to the particular items
cut, It will be realized that not every
one can be satisfied perfectly.
