Better Schools by Local *
Taxations. , ,■ *,
"Taxation is the basis ef values. lm
a country that has no fixed; system of
taxation, there is no value attached to
real property. The little' ; ahip that
brought Oglethorpe to Georgia was
worth more than was the territory
embraced in the- entire fetate at that
time.
" An educated citizen is tbs
valuable most
asset of which any eouummi
ty can boast. The greatest b£ all of
our dren. undeveloped resources is our chil¬
The civilization and wealth or
each generation, is gauged by the cul¬
ture and development of the children
of the preceding one.
“In several of the Northern and
Western States a local tax amounting
to more than one dollar, per. acre is
levied for school purposes. A local
tax . levy
of one cent per acre In Geor¬
gia would nearly double the efficiency
of our schools. Such an amount would
enable our schools to continue eight
months in the year instead of five.
;
Let us spend more in the preven¬
tion of crime and we shall not need to
spend so much to punish it. In many
counties the court-house costs more
than all. the school buildings of the
county.
The school and the church can yet
conquer the world, but they must both
learn how. Let no man, however,
shake your faith in the future of the
world. Men are trying to find the
right way to educate children. Never
before lias the problem received so
much attention.
"We must all see by this time that
we can not solve the problem by mere
book knowledge, given in a poor
school-house, presided over by an un¬
trained and undirected teacher, for
only 100 days in the year. Tno edu¬
cation we have been giving the chil¬
dren under such conditions has not
saved them from the mere inability
to read and write, much less has it
resulted in leading them into the
larger life.”
“Georgia has two hundred seventy
-
thousand, seven hundred eighty-nine
native white voters, of whom thirty
two thousand eighty-two are illiter¬
ate, which means that there are more
than eleven native white illiterate
voters in Georgia out of every one
hundred. There are twelve counties
in this State in which there are more
than twenty native white, illiterate
voters out of every one hundred of
the native white voting population.
Jn this calculation the great illit¬
eracy of negro voters i - not. taken lm ,
account. If the ignorant rule, will not
the people suffer?
