School Boards
May Borrow
The state senate yesterday pass
ed by substitute to McWilliams
bill authorizing county boards of
education to borrow money to pay
the public school teachers. The
Substitute was ( tiered by Senator j
Griffith, of the Thirtv-eigth. It
providi s restrictions on the hand
ling of.the money so borrowed, re.
quires that a strict account be kept
of it, and the amount, in each case
lie limited to the expenses of the
current year for which it is bur
rowed.
But for the fact that Senator
McWilliams is known to he a
staunch and consistent friend of
the public schools of the state we
might be tempted to ask if this hill
authorizing tin; school hoards to
borrow money to pay the teachers
is merely aim!her makeshift for a
straightout and detinite provision
of wavs and means for paying the
public school teachers with the
same promptness and regularity
that other public servants of the
state are paid.
The county boards of education
borrow mon r, y now. The Dough
erty county board has been doing
it ever since the law was so
changed as to public school funds
out of their handsandconcentrate
them in Atlanta. Whether they
have been authorized by the law to
do it or not they have done it as a
matter of justice to the teachers
who looked to them for their sal.
aries.
So long as the Dougherty County
Board of Education had control of
its own finances and was permitted
to keep its funds in local hanks, it
managed to pay its teachers with
out having to borrow. But with
the change in the law —which
change we have always thought
was in the interest of Atlanta
banks—county boards have had no
chance to apply business methods
to financing their school systems.
When the law was changed Dough
erty county had $2,200 in bank and
owed no bills. This 2,200 was the
result of the savings of a good
many years business meth
ods, and it was the intention of the
board to use it in time in provid
ing better buildings and equipr
ments for some of the county
schools, but the money had to be
transferred to Atlanta and draw
out in dribletson itemized quarter
tarly requisitions made on the
State School Commissioner.
The legislature ought to restore
the financial management and pos
session of the school funds of the
counties to the courty boards. The
responsibility for the payment of
teachers would then he upon the
county boards and there would at
the same time be an inducement
to manage the school finances in a
business like matter —an induce
ment utterly lacking in the pre
sent system.—Albany Herald.
