The Public Schools.
Hon. R. U. Hardeman, of New- *
ton county, has introduced a bill ,
in the General Assembly, provid
ing for the-levy and collection of
a local tax in each county, equal
to the amount of school money
now received from the state. This
bill, if it should become a law,
would have the effect to double j
the burden of taxation now im
posed for school purposes
The News enters a protest.
1 I
Th re ought to I o some reasonable
limit to taxation, even for educa- '
1
tional purposes.
It has been urged in favor of
the present public school system
11 " i
that it is cheaper to educate the
. . . ; 1
children of a community than it is
t > capture and co’nvict the crimi
nals made so by a lack of educa- i
turn. In this connection State j
School Commissioner Glenn says:
“The people are paying an enorm
ous local tax to detect, capture,
convict and support the criminals
of the county; would it not be
better to pay a tax to save our
children from becoming criminals? 1
It is cheaper to save a boy and <
make him an intelligent and use- :
ful member of society than it is ;
to allow him to go to the bad and 1
pay for the expense of which he i
subjects the county as a crim- .
inal.”
In answer to this it may be said
that in the main the education !
that keeps our boys from going
wrong is not of the kind that can
bo bought with money; it cannot
be obtained in the public schools
by the levy of additional tax: it
certainly cannot be acquired in
the colleges and universities, if all
reports of these modern institu
tions of learning be true; indeed,
the education, the moral training
of the child that fits him for future
positions of honor and trust, and
shapes very largely his future des
tiny for good can be learned no
where else so well as at a Christian
mother’s knee. Such training as
this has more to do with a boy’s
future than a'l the education to
'be obtained in all the public
’ schools in the state, and without i
this early training all the mere
j secular education in the world
will not prevent him from
| going to the had.
And that is one objection to our
I present public school system. It
j seems to develop a desire on the
! part of many parents to shift the j
; responsibility of the early training i
;of their children to the teachers
lof the public schools. It ought
i not, but to a certain extent it
does.
Another evidence of this break
ing down of tl e old ideas of home
rule and home training for the
children may be seen in the con
stant efforts to pass laws to pre
vent dealers from selling minors
whiskey, cigarettes, etc. It may be
fairly assumed that if the boy has
had the proper training at home '
up to that period in Lis life when j
he is allowed the liberty of going
abroad, he will steer clear of-these
pitfalls. If the boy has been

A certain amount of fat,

body warm and healthy. But
your digestion is bad, and you
don’t get it from ordinary fat
food. Hence you are chilly,
you catch cold easily, you have
coughs and shivers; while
pneumonia, bronchitis, or con

Our present school system is a
very costly and very cumbersome .
affair. There are thousands of i
people who object to many fea
turns of it, as at present conducted, j
Before any more money is applied
to the schools let the system be
put in better shape. Let it be
perfected so that the children may

any further steps are taken along
