FAIRFAX, Va. Oct. 3.-Children
in the Fairfax Elementary School
paid a penny poll tax this year to
be eligible to vote for their student
officers in a school political system
patterned after that of the State of
Virginia.
Going to the polls a few days
ago children who ranged in ages
from 6 to the teens were checked
off by other student election judges,
and those who hadn't paid didn't
vote.
This plan, in which primary chill
dren govern themselves, has been
In operation here for the past five
years, and Is described by school
omcials as a means of acquainting
children with their States govern
ment as 1t is being operated to-
day."
Election Laws Followed.
In commenting on the student
government plan, which has been
praised by State school officials,
Josephine Howdershell, principal,
said the pupils follow the Virginia
election laws. She added that the
plan is designed to promote better
citizenship among the States future
voters.
Discussing the poll tax angle, Miss
Howdershell said: I'VE do not teach
that the poll tax is either right or
wrong. 1t exists as a law Of the
State and we teach our children
how 1t operates"
Miss Howdershell told Of one par
ent's reaction to the schools poll
tax this season. The mother Of
little girl, who had entered school
for the first time this year, came
to the school one morning saying
that her child had asked, for q
penny to pay her school poll tax.
The parent, she said, was upset
