that everything will be paid for
when the thirty years are up. The
annual payments in this case would
be $4,000 approximately a / mill
levy on our present taxable valua-
ton.
To offset a greater part OF these
payments there are a number OF
expenses at present which the new
courthouse would eliminate. Mr..
Hoven's figures show that our an

when compared with many other
appropriations the. county makes.
Another fact we should not lose
sight of Is the increasing cost of
the repairs and up=keep which we
are In for each year on the old
buildings. Right now we are in for
some heavy expenditures, new
floors in some of the offices. sew
eral of the vaults must be made

Neither should we lose sight of the
fire hazard and other damage we
are facing. In the light of these
facts this extra 1868 each year In
addition to the usual expense should
not prove to be such a stumbling
block-and then we would be get

something for our own. We have a
free site all ready.
The answer to the third question
Can We afford it," would perhaps
best be another question. can we
afford NOT to get it?'
Quite a number of our taxpayers
are opposed to going into any fur
Their debt however small. A substi-
tute proposition is herewith sub
mitted. In the face of our heavy
debt burdens and the economy pro-
gram which we are forced to fol-
low. a smaller amount might be
used instead OF the $685. 600 asked
for. For some time past we have
been talking about a 100000 court
house. Let us figure on that. The
amortization payments on the lat
-er sum would amount to but $3402
each year. This Is less than the saw

any extra burden, in fact a
little less. In other words, the am

There would not have to be any
levy. |
This 10000 courthouse might
be quite SO nice or as large as
damned with Mr.. Hoven's figures,
could we allow for future *
'ansion. But considering low prize
$ for material and labor quite a
building ought to be had

This faction opposes the posi-

Members believe that peda-

this nation; the people do not
exist for the pedagogues. AS
representatives Of the people,
pedagogues are called upon only
to regulate values and not to fix
such values in education. Inter.

money, which tenets necessarily

In the matter Of conditions

education will permit people who
meet certain requirements as to
mentality to become candidates
for degrees without having what
are known as secondary educa-
tion requirements"
In other words, an adult, male
or female, who passes certain
tests as to mentality will be per-
mitted to attend college on the
free study plan, that is, will be
permitted to attend college as a
candidate for degree, and will
be given the customary severe
test before receiving that degree,
the test in the form Of a final
examination, probably a verbal
one, this examination to decide
whether such student actually
learned enough in college to war
rant giving the degree sought by
the student. Under this form Of
education, accent would be on
learning rather than on teaching.
Conceivably. too. new standards
of measuring mental ability to
meet modern conditions will be
set UP If DR.. Marvin and his
faction win the present fight.
Nearly 100000 students in in
stitutions Of higher education in
the United States may be Of

Gators, if and when that war
comes.
A summary Of the beliefs Of op-
posing factions, including beliefs
Of all factors, educational, politi-
cal and public:
Faction No. /
This first faction supports The
position taken by the commission.
The people of the United States
always do not know what is good
for them or for the nation in
this matter Of education. AS rep
resentatives Of the people and of
the Nation, pedagogueS are called
upon to fix values in and to
regulate values of education. In

boards, faculties and presidents,
which have been sacrificed to

sacrificed voluntarily through
definite resolutions creating the
commission, and further sacri-
fices by such boards, presidents
and faculties require further reso-
lutions delegating to the commits
sion further specific rights and
powers now residing solely with

In the matter of enforcement
Of the regulation in question,
