Schools TO Close
For Funeral At
Methodist Church

The entire community was sad
dened early Thursday morning
when it was learned that William
II. Rice (Uncle Billy, "a, had died
suddenly Wednesday of a heart
attack at his home North Sandus-
ky Street, Delaware. He was found
about 2:3O Wednesday afternoon
by his daughter, Mrs. Fred Wick
ham Margaret Rice) of Delaware
and was presumed to have died
several hours earlier in the day.
Mr.. Rice had not been i'll previous
to that time, having told London
friends when ne visited here last
week, with a twinkle in his eye.
I've just completed spading my
garden"
The London Schools will close
at noon Friday, January p, out of
respect for supt. w. n. Rice and
that members of the faculty may
attend his funeral at Williams
Street Methodist Church, Della
ware at 2:30 o'clock.
Mr.. Rice was born near Lilly
Chapel, November u, 1869, and
was educated in the country
schools. After teaching for several
years in jefferson and Fairfield
townships, he entered Ohio Wes-
leyan University-in in the fall of
1898, taking four years work in
three, making Phi Beta Kappa, ma
tional scholastic honorary society
and graduating in 1901
That same year he was elected
a member of the faculty of the
London High School and was made
principal of LHS May 30, 1901. He
served the London schools we'll
and was responsible in securing
recognition of Lbs as d First
Grade High School, which status
the school held through his and
subsequent administrations.
In 1905 Mr.. Rice left London
when he was elected principal of
the Chillicothe High School, re-
manning there until 1909. During
that time he became interested in
the formulation of a code for gov
erning inter-scholastic games and.
athletics and through his efforts
the Ohio High School Athletic AS
sociation was formed in 1906 ana
endorsed by the Central Ohio
Teachers Association meeting in
Indianapolis in October 1906. He
became member of the Board of
Control of the newly formed AS
sociation meeting in Columbus No
vember 8, 1907. He was elected
secretary-treaSurer and served in
that capacity without salary until
a commissioner was appointed in
the twenties at a salary of 5000.
Mr.. Rice returned to London
Public Schools in 1909 as super
intendent and remained here in
that capacity until his resignation
in l94l, serving with distinction
both for himself and the school
which was his life and retiring
with the title superintendent en-
eritus."
He worked diligently for any,
thing that was for the betterment
of the London School system. The
several bond issues that were
floated for the enlargement of the
physical assets of the school. were
successful, largely due to his ef-
forts; he introduced the semester

COMPARISON OF FEDERAL
BUDGET COSTS WITH
COSTS OF OPERATING
PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN
COUNTIES

In comparing Madison Coun-
tvs burden of $9,562,0O0 in
proposed Federal spending. the
Ohio Chambers statistics show
ed the cost per capita of the
County would be approximate
ly $429.
The statistics also disclosed
that Madison County's burden
is approximately z times the
total cost of operating schools
in the county for the 1952-1953
school year.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-01-22

Inc eStlmate or OhlO'S share
was based upon calculations by
the Ohio Chambers Research De-
partment showing that the states
residents and taxpayers pay 6.31
per cent of the Federal tax bur
den. Mr.. Weaver said that while
the burden of Federal spending
on Ohio taxpayers remains heavy,
encouragement is given in the
Eisenhower budget by the $12.3
billion reduction below the budget
submitted by former President
Truman a year ago. This reduc-
ton means estimated tax savings
of approximately $776,000,0O0 to
Ohio taxpayers, Mr.. Weaver
said.
Although he commended Ad-
n1inistration efforts to eliminate
tax inequities through numerous
proposed revisions in the Inter-
nal Revenue Code which tn e
President included in his budget
message. Mr.. Weaver said n e
Ohio Chamber is disappointed ov-
er Mr.. Eisenhower recommended
ton that excise and corporation
tax reductions scheduled for April
/ be deferred. He noted that
the Chamber is urging that every
effort be made by the Admin
istration and the Congress to ef-
feet further cuts in spending SO
that these previously scheduled
tax cuts can be made. d
Ohios estimated share of more
than $4 billion in Federal taxes
amounts to 3.27 times the total
expenditures of 81, ,264, 100000 au-
thorized by the Ohio Legislature
for the cost of operating Ohio's
government for the 1953-55 fiscal
biennium, according to Ohio
Chamber computations.
Mr.. Weaver also pointed out
that Ohio's share of the Federal
budget (S4,139, ,36O.O00) could fl
nance construction of a So mil
lion school building in each OF
Ohios 1876 city school districts
a SO million school in each of the
u exempted village school dis
tricts, and 81 million school in
each local school district and still
leave $2,427 100000 for operation
This would finance schools in the
state for more than eight years
at the 1928 rate of expendi'
a lures.
