Everybody is invited to attend. high school trustees meet Trustees of County High Schools Hold Meeting in Danielsville and fix Uniform Charge of $12.50 per term Due to the fact that the financial problems of oai* High Schools are annually growing because of! de creasing taxes oil the one hand and growing needs on the other, the trustees of the various High Schools of Madison County met in Danieis viile at 2:30 P. M., Thursday, A- F ' ' 2, 1525, for discussing financial PO -0; - . i‘ was brought out at this meet-, ing that the income of the County board of Education for school pur Poses is annually decreasing, a shown by the following figures: County Wide Tax, Rtate 19 21, £20,093.30 $31,518.87 19 ?2, $16.304.87 $29,636.99 1& 23 $13,035.36 $29,630.00 19 2 t, $12,671.60 $24,800.00 It is therefore seen that the total income from the county wide tax and State School fun-l combined. *ddch was $31,012.17 in 1921, has fallen in four years to $37,471.60, v ’’hieh is a decrease of $14,140.57. Wo?t of the County High School ■ have been established in this time, and all have been enlarged. With ' ‘Ss financial resources, and greater financial needs, the question, which is a serious one, naturally arista, What is the solution? As the pre.:- ent tax rate is the maximum, that can be levied, of necessity the ho must come fr.nu tuition charges, whiich are, according to the school laws of Georgia, permissible, pro vided the funds are needed. At this meeting the following motions were carried: 1. That all the High Schools cf Madison County charge a uniform tuition fee. 2. That the tuition to be charged be Twenty-four ($24.00) Dollars per year, payable one-haif at the o pening of each term, with 30 days of grace. The following resolution was also adopted: Resolved: fh'-t the trustees of all the high schools of Madison Cos n’y 4 compose an org nizatlon to he known as “The Madison County High School Association,” of which the County Superintendent of Schools shall be ex-officio chairman, and that some member be selected as Secretary. Col. C. E. Adams was elected Sec- retary. i ■ : i ■ fifj' Prom the above ft. is seen that all the high schools of the County will charge a uniform tuition fee of sl2 per term, or *24 per year. It is f It that when it is understood that this is absolutely necessary in order t>, provide funds for the mam, tenance of our High Schools in the face of annually diminishing public funds; and further that this charge is not in excess of what other coun ties now maintaining s : mi!ar sch o's are already charging, there will be thorough co-operation on the part of those attending these High Schools. These facts are given to the public promptly, in erder that every bey and girl aspiring to a high school ed ucation, not already provided wi + h funds, can put on foot some plan to provide this tuition during the va cation period, so as to be ready when the schools open in September. —Clarence E.
