ply the same sound business princi
ples to education as are used in the
administration of governmental ser
vice. Briefly the “county unit”
means the unified control of all the

elect the members of the
county board of education as the
people of the towns and cities are
to elect theirs. Our laws deny us
this right and privilege. The Georgia
law, however, makes provision for
the ELECTION of trustees in local
tax districts for educational purposes.
By consolidating the entire county
into one district, and levying 9
mills for educational purposes, con
ditions will have been complied with
whereby trustees elected by the peo
ple,” Shall make all rules and regu
lations to govern the schools—build
and equip school houses etc. under
the approval of the county board
of education. (The new plant in
Monroe county was built at Forsyth
this year under this provision.) See
Sec. 129 Georgia School Code.
Butts county ought to be able to
launch this building program with
out increasing its tax levy. There
should he a redistribution of tax
levy so that more mills should go to
education. This would call for a re
duction of mills in other departments.
By reducing one-half mill in one
department, one-fourth in another,
one mill in another, four mills could
be found to be added to the school
fund. An increase of mills to 9 for
educational purposes would require
an election. An interested body of
citizens who would like to see educa
tional advantages for the children of
Butts county greatly improved, who
are interested in advancing the
present and future welfare of the
farming interests, who would like to
see a family on-every-farm-in-the
next-five-years, by greatly improving
farm conditions, thus making it at
tractive, who would like to he in
strumental in opening the way for
bringing the best methods that
science has to offer to deal with the
constantly changing economic and
industrial problems, who would like
to lay a foundation that will guar
antee the future prosperity of the
entire county as no other program
can, will find here their best oppor
tunity for unselfish and constructive
service.. Finding the mills, the neces
sary number, and making effective
the $125,000.00 building program
at the earliest date possible, will, as
a prominent educator was heard to
remark with enthusiasm, be the
greatest work that can be put over
touching the present and future wel
fare of Butts county.
This plant should be built and
equipped ready for the opening of
bhe school term beginning next Sep-
Brnber or certainly' not later than
