An election will be held by the
qualified electors of Newberry School
District No. 1, June 24th, for the
purpose of deciding the question of
~ increas ng the tax levy one mill for
two ^?t?rs. .
In order that (he people of the dis
trict may intelligently decide this
matter the trustees desire to make a
frank and clear statement of our i
school system as to income, disburse- ;
ments, enrollment and conditions of ;
school property.
After tiiis statement has been made .
the board of trustees do not feel that
it ic incumbent uDon them to make
| any further effort to press the issue ;
for this increase, which should be ,
I a matter of common interest.
The school system should be of vital
I interest to every citizen. Every city
is known by its churches, its city ;
I. government and its educational insti
tutions. While we may differ in our
I ideas concerning the management of ,
the schools and general efficiency of
B its instructors, it is well to remember
tat these change more or less an
p-^!W5iiy, wnne tne scnooi useu is a ,
* jfixture and a powerful witness as to ,
the kind of people who make up the 1
city's population.
[ We have much to be proud of in
our buildings and equipment, but we <
also have much to be ashamed of, and
the ttoflgs that will later be mention- ,
1 ed things that must be changed .
1 if we are true to our graded schools ,
P which exist for the purpose of giving ,
j ?? ? ?.. 1 '
uui" uxiiiurexi yrcpaiaiiuu j.ox ute a.nu
to instill into them high ideals of
i beauty and usefulness. We confident- (
. ly believe that if the repair work we j
propose to do was thoroughly investi- j
SPted by our peopi they would all cooperate
and help raise the extr^
funds. . i . ...(
/The additional one mill levy is for ,
"the purpose of making needed repairs ]
I and improvements in the school pro- j
^ertv. It is absolutely necessary to j
t install an up-to-date and decent
sew-erage system in Boundary Street
school. The present old dry surface
toilet arrangement is filthy, unsightly,
and indecent. This condition mnst
be changed.
i We urge full investigation by any
one inclined to oppose this levy,?and
also thos-e "who are helping us in this
endeavor to put better conditions
around our children.
In this same building is a heat- -
iing plant that has never given satis-! 1
faction, and it must either be worked j
over and made to heat the building j
uniformity or it must e btorn out and <
a new plant installed. In either case
much expense will be involved. i
The roofing and other parts of ]
Speers Street school building need repair
work done at once. :
j"~ To show how impractical it is to try j
to do all this work with our present
income it will be well to review the ,
financial conditions of/\ie schools as ,
compared with the necessary ex
& pense.

income from all sources (including
$1053.83 sinking fund which by special
act of the legislature was transferred
to the current fund) was $15,075.69.
The total enrollment for- the
school year ending 1912 was 1100 pu~

sources was $14,041.94. The enrollment
for the year just closed is
1227 pupils. The income from all
sources is $13,946.55. (This does not
take into account $435.40 which was
raised by the teachers and pupils for
pictures and piano for the High
school), but it does cunt $100.00 given
us from the State extension fund,
and $440.00 received from back taxes
apportioned this year.
The iDresect salary of the teachers
inoluding the superintendent and janitor
is $13,087.50 for the year. The total
amount of the annual income from
all sources is $13,946.55 (our bulletin
contains an itemized statement of disbursements.)
We desire to call attention
to the fact that the total amount
received from the special four mill
levy is $216.00 less this year than last
year. The total income including the
back taxes is $95.39 less, and the total
enrollment 127 more pupils. It would
not have been nossible for us to meet
the obligations of the schools had it
not been for the $440.00 of- accumulated
back taxes that were placed to the
credit of the school fund this year.
The schools have very little more
more money on which to run now thai
they had when there was only one
graded school.
Today we have two additional
schools and are doing our share toward
West End school. This has
made it necessary to employ additional
teachers, pay two extra jailors
and buy fuel for two more buildi; gs.
With all these new and additional
Dbligations to meet the board has had
to constantly puzzle its brain as to
how the yearly expenses oould be met.
We have managed to just about make
i clean balance each year. But it
can readily be seen under these circumstances
that it will b" entirely
beyond the range of possiu*. y for
the board to make the necessary repairs
on the various buildings without
the aid contemplated under the cne
mill levy which the people of the
community are to decide. The trustees
are thoroughly aliye to the fact
-tiat a greater teaching force is baaiy
needed at Speers Street school, where
Dne teacher has the first and second
grades with an enrollment of 54 pupils,
and one teacher 'has the third and
fourth grades with an enrollment of
10 pupils. Yet what can be done?
rhe. High school has three and 2-5
teachers wi^i an enrollment of 110
pupils. Four teachers would give us
much more efficient work. Our High
school is doing splendid work and
?*e must see to it Thar the relations
it has assumed with the various colleges
is maintained.
We hope to add a musical department
to this school next year, and it
is also our purpose to add a department
of domestic science. Several
Df our leading eiiizens have made substantial
gifts to this department al?-? >?->

Were our income sufficient we
would like very much to add one year
to our High school, also a department
of industrial commercial training.
But with our enrollment increasing
every year and our income decreasing
it is necessary for us to economize in
every way possible to meet present
obligations.
The one mill levy for two years
will net about $3,700.00 after the interest
is paid, this will hardly be sufficient
to make the necessary repairs
to the buildings, and certainly . will
not aid the trustees in making the
improvements to the system which
0 ?
we feel our schools should have. But
if our citizens desire part of this levy
can be made permanent after two
years. The board of trustees cheerfully
give their time and study to the
progress of the schools, but we feal
at the same time that every citizen 1
ought to have the same interest in
the welfare of the schools that the
board 'has. The trustees, like the 1
teachers, come and go, but the schools 1
with their equipment are here to stay. :
Let us all get together and make j
the schools what they ought to be,
and in the years to come it will make <
no difference who your trustees and <
teachers are so long as they are good ]
and true and able, the schools will i
be the pride of our city . i

There is a New Remedy That Takes

i
Mayes Drug Store never sold a remedy
that gave more complete satisfac- (
tion than Dodson's Liver Tone?a
mild vegetable remedy for constipation,
sour stomach and lazy liver.
Folks who have suffered for years
rather than resort to dangerous calr.iiiel
have found after one trial that *
this pleasant-tasting vegetable liquid
gives them a long sought relief without
tad after-e)fec:s.
Dodson's Liver Tone is guaranteed
by Mayes' Drug Store to be a safe
liver {stimulant and to be absolutely 1
harmless?without bad after-effects.

You will find many persons in this k
Locality who have tried it and every

Liver Tons. It livens up a torpid
liver and makes you feel fresh,
Iitalthy and clean. ,
The price of a large bottle is 50

success of Dodson's Liver Tone has
brought many medicines into *he field
that imitate its claims, and some have
name very similar and package same

rone is guaranteed by W. G. Mayes,
svho will give you back your money if i

these papers describing the fauna or |t
I
flora of a formation that does not 1
prove sooner or later to possess prac- i
tlcal value and to be essential to geol- s
Dgy in its constantly increasing re- e
flnement of study and results. s
Without paleontology the geologic *
classification of formations, their cor- r
relation and the determination of
their mutual relations would be im- 1
possible. In fact, real and symmetrical c
progress in geology is impossible c
without corresponding interrelated de- 1
relopment and refin-ement of its t
handmaid paleontology. The study of I
the economic geology of any region of I
complicated structure is blind and e
inconsequent unless the time relations a
Df the strata concerned are known. I
These relations are indicated by thfj ?
fossils which the strata contain.? i
