Over 20years ago, Wayne introduced Tail
Curler Pig Starters to the swine industry
and took much of the work and worry out
of starting and weaning pigs.
Wayne Pre-Starters are rich in natural
milk products and other sweet-tasting,
palatable ingredients that appeal to baby
pigs. All three Tail Curlers, Tail Curler

More and more our schools are
moving away from local control
and into the hands of State
governments and Washington
bureaucrats. This trend is very
much tied to the question of how
our schools should be financed.
Traditionally our schools have
been financed and run at the local
level. But as education has
become more expensive, State
and Federal money has become
almost as important as local
funding. And with this “outside”
money has come a loss of local
authority in determining school
curriculum and policy.
As the trend away from local
control accelerates, I have to
wonder if we should not be a little
more critical of the trend. At
least, there should be some in
depth evaluation of evidence that
suggests we may be moving in
the wrong direction. .
For instance, one of the latest
educational campaigns is taking
place in the courts. This cam
paign is to get a ruling that using
the local property tax to finance
schools is unconstitutional
because it leads to some school
districts having more money to
spend per pupil than other
districts have. Those who favor
such a ruling generally feel that
inner city schools should be
brought up to the same

educational quality as suburban
school and the only way to do that
is equalize the tax base.
But equalizing property tax on
a statewide basis may not help
inner city schools at all. A study
at Syracuse University shows
that big city schools are not
underfinanced. There is no doubt
that they are full of educational
problems, but the chief problem
is not a lack of funds. In fact,
according to the study, if schools
are financed equally, the big
gainers would be rural districts
and central cities would not gain
but lose.
Anyone who recognizes that
city schools are faced with a
crisis situation knows full well
that they cannot afford to lose
money at this point. Therefore,
the very court action that is
designed to help the inner cities
could end up harming their
educational systems.
But there is even a far more
serious question involved. If we
destroy the local tax base, we
also destroy all pretense of local
school control. Rural and
suburban schools would be the
losers if that happened because
they have traditionally priced
themselves on their relationship
to the community and their
dependence on it. And if it turns
out that we abandon the concept
of local schools for all the wrong
reasons, what will there be to
assure us of the kind of quality
education we have come to ex
pect in this country?
