The basic ap propriation should be made local, he said, with .state funds used to bring up the. weaker communities to a level with the wealthy, thu wiving every child equal education al opportunities. Superintendent Ballard’s addresf .. ns prepared for delivery before city and county educational offl cials In one of the series of con ferences being held tnroughout the state in connection with changes to bo made in the school system. The state of Georgia leads all other states In the per capita ap propriatlon* from her treasury to her common schools," he stated Also, n greater percentage of hei revenue Is devoted to her common schools than any other state, dede, the state legislature has been lavish in hr appropriations to th# common schols. et, in education- attainments nnd accomplish men's, when we are compared tr other states, wo find ourselves at the foot of the list—one state alone competing with us for this unen viable position." In 1922, there were 202,000 child ren In the first grade In the state, Mr. Ballard continued. The city and well-organized town system* are promoting from fifty to seven ty percent of the children from th# firts grade, he said, adding that If we subtract this from the'total, we find that in the rural schools, constituting more than seventy per cent of Georgia’s children, takes on the average three years for a child to complete the first (rads. The average educational attain ment* of rural children is less than the third grade, he said. "The Supreme court in the case of Hanks Frank v*. D’Arcy from Floyd County In a recent declalor had laid down the. very broad principle that the elgislature ha* the right to authorize counties to mnke a levy for educational pur poses," he stated. "If this decislor had been made 40 years ago the ent.re educational history of state would have been different Indeed, the Eldera-Carswel! Con stitutionai Amendment of 1920 would have been unnecessary. "In building a school system for Georgia, we will use the principle of tho Elde rs • Cars we 11 Amend ment. os wel las the Court Decisior In the above cited case, as cornerstone upon which we build. First, establish a standard state school—such a school as wil be maintained all over the state and every child will have easy cess to one. For example, let thli school be a school of eight month* taught by first grade teachers, and they paid living wages. For the sunport of such a chsool let the Legislature authorize and dlrec every county in the state to lev* tax, say, of six mills.

"This can be done. Other states have such a system. I think ono trouble with us Is we think the tax question is so big It is almost impossible for us to solve It We need more confidence In ourselves and we can solve the question. "I would favor free school books if tome plan could be devised whereby It would ben efit parents unable to buy for^elr children,- but and the legislature can do something worth while about the tax problem. ! hope it will. "I do not t^ink very much of a tax'commission of business men; they will differ and will get up so much data for the legislature It will be confus ing and complicating." "I think it a good idea for some member—I am thinking of doing it myself—to Intro duce a resolution the first day of the extra session that we adjourn within three weeks. This. I think, will hive a ten dency to make us finish our work much sooner. Otherwise I am afraid we will he in ses sion much longer than many contemplate. If at tho end of three weeks we have not quite finished our work, then we can move to stay in session a few days longer.
