vide insurance.
3. County boards Of education
Law out all school bus routes ana
select all bus drivers, subject to
approval of the state school COM
mission.
From these examples it can be
seen that the local school boards
and committeeman have just
about as much to do with the az
ministration of the schools as
ever before, with the exception
that they no longer levy any
taxes for the operation of the
schools-the state does all that.
But if the local boards are to
have complete control over the
schools, which seems to be what
the attorney general advocates,
they must then raise all the
money needed for their support
from local taxation on property.
On a district basis, this would
necessitate a district tax ranging
from 50 cents to 81 per 500 of
valuation, in excess of present
property tax rates, according to
the records in the office of the
state school commission. Of If a
statewide tax for school support
should be levied, a tax Of not
less than rs cents on the $500
valuation would be required to
WELD the 100000 q year now
appropriated for the state sup
pored eight months school term
and this tax probably could
not be collected. For this past
fiscal year of 1928. the ID
cents statewide property tax
when it should have yielded some
yielded only about S3,OOO.OOO,
$4,8OO.OOO, because it could not
be collected. That is one of the
main reasons why the 1888 gen.
eral assembly abandoned the
property tax plan and turned to
the 8 per cent general sales tax.
Experience had shown that 4
property tax could not be col
lected.
But as long as the state con-
tinues to provide the money for
the support of the publics choOts
from indirect sources it is only
reasonable to expect that the
general assembly will set UP
some state agency, such as the
state school commission to SUI
pervise the expenditure of this
money. And that is the only
way the general assembly has in
terferred with so-called "local
control of school through the
1888 school law. The only things
which the state does now, under
the 1888 school law-and which
it has been doing for years in
the past-are as follows:
/. Provides all the money fol
maintenance of an eight months
term.
2. Determines the number 81
teachers, principals, superintend
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-08-15

ents and other employees needed,
3. Fixes the salaries of the
teachers, principals and other
employees. the salaries of the
county superintendent having
been fixed by the general assem-
bly, in the law.
1t is a general law Of business
and government that the agency
that provides the money for any
particular activity shall have
general supervision over the ex-
penditure of that money. So as
long as the state, rather than the
counties or districts, supplies the
money for the operation Of the
schools, it will undoubtedly re-
tain the say-so as to the number
of teachers to be employed, the
salaries to be paid them and 9TH
err details having to do with the
expenditure of this money. If tn"
various district and county
boards were allowed to determine
the number Of teachers and the
rate of pay, with the state foot
ing the bill. it is agreed that
eight months terms would prob
ably cost $2S.OOO,0O0 a year, as
it did in 1929, instead of &c.
100000, which the 1888 general
assembly says is all it shall cost
this year and next.
The only way the local COM
munitics may regain complete
control of their school affairs,
including the number of teach
ers and their rate of pay, which
seems to be the suggestion of the
attorney general, is for them to
provide all the money for the
support of the schools from local
taxes on property, thus increas-
ing the local tax rate from 40I
cents to 81 per 500 of valua-,
ton. The prevailing opinion
here, however. is that most of
the people in the state would
rather have the state fix he num-
Der of teachers and the rate of
their pay and also pay them,
than have this additional tax
burden dumped upon them.

Some Believe He Would
Reinstate Support by
Local Taxation :
BY ]. c. BASKERVILLE
The Times News bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, August 15.-The
opposition to the new school law
and the declaration that a great
or degree of school control
should be returned to the coun-
ties. as expressed BY Attorney
General Dennis G.. Brummltt IN
n recent speech in Rocky Mount,
i causing some here to wonder
If the attorney general is ready
to advocate support of the pub
lie schools through local taxation
on property. For if the local
units-counties, cities and dis
tricts-are going to have conf
plese authority over the admins
tration of their schools, they
must then produce the money
for their support from local tax
alton. it is generally agreed. 1t
was apparent that the 1888 gen.
eraI assembly was overwhelming
" of the opinion that if the state
was going to provide the money
for the support Of the pubic
schools, that the state should also
have control over the eXpend'-
ture of this money. That was
why it passed the Griffin 1888
school law despite the bitter OPP
position of the North Carolina
Education association, Attorney
General Brummitt. State Super
intendent of Public Instruction
A. T. Allen and others closely at
filiated with the organized edu-
cational forces of the state.
But does the present school
law deprive the local commun-
tiles of the control and supervi-
sion of their schools, as the at
torney general seems to believe?
Those who have studied the new
law are convinced that the local
communities have about as much
to say concerning the operation
of their schools as they have
ever had. and that about the
only thing it deprives them of is
the payment of ad valOrem taxes
for their support. Here are some
of the things which the local
school boards and school COM
mitteemen continue to do under
the new school law, just as they
have always done in the past:

continue to employ the county
and city superintendents.
