ft CITY SYSTEM
OF
To Be Supported by Direct
Taxation.
Preamble and Resolutions Adopted by
the 8chool Board Puts the Question
Up to the City Council.
A city system of schools, to be free
to the Individual, and supported by
direct taxation, is what the School
Board of Albany declared for at a
meeting held yesterday afternoon.
When the board met and the ques
tion of organizing for the next school
year, with special reference to the new
high school, was brought up, Mr. R.
H. Warren d/ew from his pocket the
following preamble and resolution,
which he read and* submitted to the
board for adoption:
“Whereas, since Its organization, the
Albany Academy has been maintained
by appropriating for the .purpose a
portion of the state school fund due
Dougherty county, supplemented by a
matriculation foe levied on the pupils,
and further by requesting of the coun
ty and cliy authorities direct appropri
ation to meet exigencies and deficits
frequently arising In the operation of
the school: and,
Whereas, assuming the plan to have,
from one point of view, the merit of
economy In Its effect on tho taxpayer,
quate educational facilities as afore
said.
Therefore, be It resolved, by this
board of education, That our city coun
cil be requested to at once adopt the
necessary means of securing for Al
bany a regular city system of schools,
to be supported by direct taxation.”
There was a long discussion, and an
effort was made to have final consid
eration of the question postponed un
til after the meeting of the County
Commissioners next Monday, when It
is understood some action will be
taken that may have direct bearing
upon the county school fund In con
nection with the disposition of the
convicts, but Mr. Warren pressed the
motion to adopt his resolution to a
vote, and It was adopted with only
one dissenting vote.
A motion for the appointment of a
committee to bring the subject matter
of the preamble and resolutions be
fore the city council at Its meeting
was then* adopted, and Mayor Pro
Tem. Tarver, who -was presiding, ap
pointed the entire board. I
It Is presumed that the board will
appear with the preamble and resolu
tion and urge the question of inaug
urating a city school system upbn the
City Council at the regular meeting of
that body on Monday night.
and hereby making acknowledgment to
the faithful and loyal trustees who
have served and given as good a
school ns was possible, under such
conditions, the following conclusions
seeqi clear as to the school system ot
Albany, and the changes needed In It:
First—Since at least 00 per ceat. of
the children ot our city will never
have collegiate advantages and will be
limited lo the education provided here
It behooves us—It Is Imperative—that
what we offer them shall oe the best,
and of the highest class to be secured,
and be absolutely free to the Individ
uals.
Second—-An Institution as important
to our people as their school system
should be on a sound and reliable fl-
financlal basis. Plaus for It should
not be embarrassed or hindered by
doubt pr speculation as to Its mainte
nance. In education the best Is none
too good, and our schools should be
on such a fooling as to forbid any
compromise In securing the best fa
cilities and teachers, and enough of
them, on the score ot doubt as to
whether “ends will meet" or “the al
lowance will hold out”
Third—Whatever variety of opinion
that may heretofore have existed as
to the adequacy and efficiency of the
school system provided for Albany, It
must be clear to all that with the rap
id growth ot our city, the demand for
Increased facilities, and the provision
for a high school building to meet the
needs, the call Is Imperative for an en
tire change, which will provide ade-
WILL BE NO STRIKE
IN ANTHRACITE REGION.
MINERS WILL RETURN TO WORK ON TERMS
OF AWARD OF STRIKE COMMISSION OF 1903.
Scranton, Pa., May 6.—There will be
no strike in the anthracite mines.
Such was the advice of John Mitchell
and other high officials of the Mine
Workers, given before the scale com
mittee today. Their addresses fully
forecasted the report which the com
mittee is to make to the open conven
tion this j afternoon. A suspension or
der has been issued and the mlnocf
will return to work on the terms ot
the award of the anthracite strike
commission of 1903, which the opera
tors are willing to have continued.
Later the report of the scale com
mittee was adopted by the convention,
after which it adjourned till Tuesday
to give the scale committee an oppor
tunity to’confer with the operators.
PLAN FAVORED
BY SCHOOL BOARD.
At the meeting of the School Board
yesterday afternoon, Alderman Ehr
lich, of the City Council, offered a reso
lution declaring that the board fa
vored a public ceremony on the oc
casion of the laying of the corner
stone of the new high school building,
and authorizing that the grand master
of the Masons'of Georgia be Invited to
come and officiate on that occasion.
The resolution was adopted, and it
is presumed that there will be no hitch
in the plans that were outlined in The
Herald yesterday. Grand Master Mey-
erhardt will be invited to Albany, and
it is not doubted that he will accept
the invitation ,if it be possible for
him to leave home.
