from this same study show the
wide range of ability and effort
to support public education
among the various counties of
the state.
None Of the 20 counties of
greatest ability to pay is within
the group of 20 exerting the
greatest effort.
Ten counties with the greatest
ability to pay are in the group
of 20 exerting the least effort.
Nine Of the counties in the
group of 20, lowest in ability to
pay, are in the group of 20 exert
ing most effort. (Dickenson falls
within this group.)
On the basis of true wealth,
Dickinson county is valued at
fifteen million dollars, indicating
that there is $3,018 taxable wealth
behind each child in average da-
lily attendance in the county, with
an average Of $20.26 being spent
for each child from local sources
Of taxation each year. Yet in spite
Of the county ranging 9th in eff
fort it ranks 98th in ability to pay
among the 100 counties and 9th
in the amount of money expend-
ed for the education of its chill
dren from county funds.
Local school officials point out
that the solution to such a prob
lem is not an easy one. 1t indi-
Gates that a new method of dis
tributing state funds for schools
must be based on some plan in
volving the two factors of ability
to pay plus effort on the part of
each county and city. Until such
a plan is worked out Dickinson
county shall still be penalized
even though there are only eight
counties in the state exerting
more effort than the county Of
Dickinson in spite of its limited
tax resources.

County 9th In Effort and 9th In Amount
of Tax Money For Schools

A recent study completed by
the Virginia Education Associa-
ton in regard to the various cit
les and counties ability to pay in
proportion to their true wealth,
announced that Dickinson county
is 9th among the 100 counties in
its efforts to support good schools
but 9th in the amount Of money
in the amount of money expend-
ed from local sources of taxation.
This indicates that the youngest
county is putting forth far more
effort than it has ability to pay.
On the other hand, it indicates
also that the county. in spite of
almost every effort toward Sc
curing funds for schools, is scrap
ing the bottom of an empty bar
rel for money.
Dickinson, along with other
poor counties of the state, is try
ing to carry out functions of local
government by taxing to the linn
its its denuded Iillsides while the
state of Virginia is ladling the
cream under provisions of the
Segregation Act.
In spite of increased appropri-
atoms for the payment of teach
ers' salaries from state funds the
wide difference between the sal
aries of teachers of the poorer
school divisions and the wealth.
Ter school divisions remains the
same. A child IN a poor school
division is penalized through poor
school facilities and exposure to
unframed, inexperienced, low
paid instruction, even though a
poverty stricken county is exert
ing three times the effort of a
wealthy neighboring county.
The study just completed by
the Virginia Education Associa-
ton indicates all the more clearly
that equalization of effort on the
basis of ability to pay is the SEN
sible method for the distribution
of funds from state sources for
the payment of teachers, Figures
