NELSON, 3-lwk Albany, Ga. 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.

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.

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.
