ticed law before the courts in this city

total result Of this situation Is the
fact that there is little If any relation
between the number of children in
given community to educate and
the ability Of that community, as
represented In taxes on real estate, to
support schools"
Continuing, DR.. Zook said:
May I therefore take this opportun-
ity to urge parents and other adults
interested in the development OF the
schools to join the movement for
the elimination of the small school
district in order that all the people
Of given county, for example, may be
made to share more largely in the sup
port of all the schools in the county,
both urban and rural, and hence
make it possible for all the children
in such county to have something
like equal opportunities at schooling.
We shall not then witness the dis
grace within short distances from enc
another of some schools closed or on
shortened terms while others. more
fortunately situated, continued with
little or no interruption"
DR.. Zook has appealed for this tax
reform on previous occasions. Like
wise, other leading educators, includ-
ing Dr. Frank w. Ballou, superintend-
ent of District of Columbia schools,
has advocated more equitable taxa
ton as one means of advancing school
support.

REFORM IN SCHOOL
TAXES IS URGED
DR.. Zook Cites Hampered
Educational Facilities
for Thousands.

DR. George F. Zook, United States
commissioner Of education, renewed
his appeal for more equitable sys-
tenn of taxation for the improved
support of public education in an ad-
dress over Nationwide network of
radio stations last night under aus
pices of the National Congress OF
Parents and Teachers.
DR.. Zook cited the closing last Fall
of 770 schools, denying educational
facilities to ITS. 900 children, and the
opening of 1900 others only for a
three-month term as evidence OF
faulty and inadequate means of sup
porting the schools.
I'VE are now beginning to realize,
the commissioner said, that these
difficulties arise out of two tax situa-
tions: First, that in most States
taxes on real estate have not been
spread uniformly over a sufficiently
wide base in the county or in the
State to provide anything like equal
support for schools in the cities.
towns and rural communities, respec-
lively, and second. thu. with certain
exceptions the more modern types of
taxation have not been made avail
able for the support of schools. The
