are all unworthy of consideration. But if this
measure should fail in this election the Board of
Education will be compelled to adopt one of these
alternatives. The suggestion that the deficit in
school funds could be taken care of by raising the
tax returns on personal property is both imprac
ticable and impossible.
The eyes of the State are upon Carroll county
and Carrollton. We have taken the lead in rais
ing cotton despite the boll weevil and in the pro
duction of poultry. Shall we stand at the bottom
of the educational program?
Successful democratic government depends
upon information. There is no place for preju
dice and selfishness in making a decision that
will affect the whole future of this generation.
Laying aside all other alternatives, let us unite in
our support for the only certain solution of the
question at issue.
Surely, no citizen of Carrollton, after serious
and careful consideration of the existing condi
tions, and in face of the present crisis, .will fail to
support this measure and vote for an increase in
taxes for school purposes.
Wednesday, December 19th, 1923, will be a
decisive day in the history of Carrollton? On
that day the voters of Carrollton will pass upon
one of the most serious and far-reaching ques
tions that has come before them in years* The
future of CarrolLton’sschools will be determined.
Facts concerning the financial condition of
our schools have been presented in bulletin form
this week. The schools cannot be operated in
any satisfactory manner upon less money than is
now being spent. The small increase in taxes
proposed will not be a real burden upon anybody,
but will take care of our schools' decently. The
present standard of our schools cannot be main
tained without increased income. No feasible
method of increasing the income for school pur
poses, except an increase in the tax rate, has been
suggested. The suggestions to raise the rate of
tuition for pupils in the High School and charge
tuition for Grammar School pupils for three
months following the free school term of six
months, to reduce the school term from nine to
six or seven months, or to employ cheap teachers,
