Mr.. S. A. Remington,
Editor, Belt Valley Times.
Belt, Montana.
Dear Editor:
Believing in your willingness to pre-
sent both sides Of important cOntro-
verted issues in your paper, and aprc-
pos Of the front page article, County
Unit to the Front Again." in your is
sue Of The Times Of January S1st,
may / submit the following facts rel
alive to this matterf
! County Unit, prior to its demise,
operated in this county on q total levy
Of p mills. It gave nine full months
Of school to all children in the county
and paid the country school teachers
good wages. Furthermore, it built
up q surplus.
This surplus amounted to about
$35. 600 and this sum was placed to
the credit Of the various districts of
the county. Despite this good starter
under the district system there are al
ready six districts that have had 20
vote a levy higher than the county
unit levy q, 3, SO, so, SO, 82).
To date five school districts (I3,
%, "a 43, 81 have registered war
rants. In addition to the above It is
certain that 10 other schools viii have
to register warrants to give a nine
months school and it is probable that
still an additional Is districts will
have to register warrants to give nine
months school. Part Of this warrant
registration is due to the fact that
taxes are paid in two installments this
year, but after registering warrants
to the amount Of unpaid taxes there
win be 10 or more schools which will
not be able to have a nine months
school, that is, Of schools now open.
Last year there were Fl schools that
did not open, although the county unit
took care of the pupils. This year
there were % schools that did not
open in September and in some of
them no provision has been made for
sending the pupils elsewhere. Already
this year five schools which opened in
have closed because Of
shortage Of funds, (13, so, as, So, and
6O), though some Of these may be able
to give two months more schooling in
the spring.
A study of these facts indicates
that the doing away with the county
unit system, if blessing, neverthe-
less has its distinct disadvantages.
And the condition promises to become
more difficult
have the figures given above from
the office of the county superintend-
snt.
Very truly yours,
LEO C. GRAYBILL. !
