Tt The Citizens of Jackson
County.
I understand Representative W. A.
Ovcrtor intends to introduce a bill in
Ibc legislature to abolish tho County
Board of Education of Jackson county
Such an act will be a backward step to
the cause of education, and herein I
will show reasons for it.
In the first place it means an injust
its to some children in the county. I
behave every child should have an equal
chance, in to far as a common school
education ia concerned. The intention
and DDrpoae of ithe law is to eive each
child an eqaal number of days in school,
and that is what the County Board does
If a child ia onfortuoately situated in
that part of the eounty where land is
poor and where th taxes do not
a moan t to much, is'.no reason why it
steak! not have an equal chains with
the child more fortunately situated.
If his bill should provide for the
schools of each district to run accord'
inf to the taxable property of the dis
trict, let as look at the result
1st Dist. , taxable property $318,250,
school tax $1,93J. 7 schools would (rive
$277 to the shool.
2nd Dist, taxabl property $107,225,
school tax $760,90. 3 tohool would re
ceive $254.80 each.
fed Dist, taxable property $74,800,
school tax $61 20, 2 school gives $275. 60
toeaib.
4th Dist, taxable property $118,650.
school tax $814 60, 4 schools gives $203,
KB to each school.
5th Dist, taxable property $268,400,
school tax $1,647 60, 7 schools gives
$221.07 to each school. .
6th Dist, taxable property $29,450,
school tax $367.80, 4 schools gives $91,
85 to each school.
7th Dist
. taxable property $38,800,
school tax
40 to each
, 8th Dist.
school tax
$141.65.
9tb DUt.
school tax
85 to each
$319.20, 3 schools gives $106,
school. '
, taxable property $106,075,
$708.80, 5 schools receive
, taxable property $106,075,
$798.10, 6 school gives $132,
10th Dist, taxable property $65,875,
school tax $476.50, 5 schools gives $95,
10 to each.
lltb Dist, taxable property $165,375,
school tax $951.50, 6 schools gives
$158.58 to each.
12th Dist, taxable property $48,050.
school tax $488.20, 2 schools gives $244,
10 to each.
13th Dist, taxable property $175,125,
school tax $1,064.50, 6 schools gives
$177.40 to each.
14 Dist, taxable property $128,750.
school tsx $783. 8 schools gives $261 to
each.
15th Dist., taxable property $41,575,
school tax $306.30, 1 school.
In addition to the eounty school tax
we receive about $8,000 from the state.
This would b divided in the ssme waya
Any one can readily see in some dis
trkts schools would be three times that
of others. What citizen is so selfish as
tip desire any thing of this kind.
The 6th, 7tb. 8th, 9th, 10th districts
would be the greatest suffers.
If the bill should provide to run the
schools according to th scholastic pop
ulation of each civil district let us look
at the result
The 1st Dist., with a scholastic popu
lation or No .would nave more money
than tha 2. 3 and 4 districts witn a
scholastic population 926. The 5th dis
trict with a ch lastic population of
643 would have more money than the
6th and 7th with a scholastic population
of 571. Yet there ate more schools In
the 2, 3 and 4 districts than in the 1st.
More schools in the 6th,and 7th districts
than in the 5th. This is enough to
show the inconsistency of such a pro
vision.
Wh t is your objection to the County
Board? tome say it co?tthe county too
much' Itbas nvir cost the county
over $231 a year inc I have been
county Supt
- Has it saved the county any money?
I Uugbt iiooi for 20 year before we
had any county I'.rd, My supplies,
such as fuel, bccti 's, brooms, dippers,
crayon, ct?. wer furnished by the
count?. Tbeie were furnished all the
teachers, and rcw mplies bad to be
fun ished every ye.r. for they were not
taken cire of. ,A great amount was
spent for supplies each year. The
county Board requires each teacher to !
furnish bis or her oft-n supplies. They
are more economical in buying. The
buckets, dippers, aad brooms belong to
the teacher, they UU them home at
1
cloc of school and have them for an-;
other year. This saving more than j
pays tin txpf me f tho county Hoard, j
Besides i kr.ow of other oxpciircs thev i
curtailed, where the A.ivisory Board '
. . . i
nan allowed txiortmnai prices, ana
where merchants charged too high for
material, bach an nails etc.
The greatest objection to the County
or kinfolks don't olway, Cet the school j
you would have them teach.
If you would attend some of our
Rtate association) and hear those coun
ty Sujits . where they have a member
of the Board irotii each civil district,
appeal for a less number, saying they
could not have order, could v.l trans
act business satisfactonl) , J.hat it was
cumUrsome, you wonll nut favor a
member from each district. If the old
district system is to be re-established,
and the bill fhculd in some way pro
vide for an equal number of days for
every school, how will the pri'-es be re
gulated? The directors of one district
might pay a high price, and those of
another a low price, for teachers of
equal qualification, experience and suc
cess. Besides, i am in position to know
if the Board is done away with, there
will be housed built t .at should not be
built. I can name thj district in which
they will be built.
Is it right to be constantly changing
the school law in fucb a way as to take
the childien'e money in building houses
that are not needed.
1 am also in favor of u high school
tax. We are greatly in i.eed of 6ome
two years high schools. There has
eighty young men and younp women
from this county entered the Polytech
nic at Cookeville since U;it September,
at the rate of $12 a month for board
and incidentals would smoun; to $960 a
month, or $9000 ih ten months.
Bepides the merchants of this county
are losing the trade' of these young
men and young women. It is time for
tho people of this county to become a
roused to a sense of duty.
I hiive written our representative
Mr. W. A. Overton and our senator
W. J. Mathews urging nhat they not
do away with court:.' Board. I ask
others that are interested to write
them.
