ing Schools Upon the State
Athens — The Atheas Free
School Club has been organized
with Dr. C. L. Stevens, president,
and J. W. Beaman, Esq, secretary.
Its objects are “to take such action
as will result in the removal of the
school tax from the farm and home
and to have the state appropriate
the entire cost of the public school
system, thus relieving the people of
its greatest tax barden.”
A meeting of the club was held
in Odd Fellows hall last evening to
which the public were invited
There was not a large attendance,
but the audience was composed of
progressive spirit of the age, and
the discussion brought out some
very pertinent facts in regard to the
situation. President Stevens, on
calling the meeting to order, said
that it was not expected that the
objects could be reached at once,
but the time had come when the
matter should be discussed in such
a way as to lead up to a practical
solution of the problem. He intro
duced Superintendent H G Put-
nam, who said that he had not
hunted up facts and figures, but
that he thought it .would be a
good thiag to follow out the plans
of the club. The whole system of
our schools has been based upon
local control, and this is right when
the local control is just what it
should be. The people are loyal
and pay their school taxes volun-
tarily. The state obliges the legis-
lature to appropriate a sum of
money to support the schools. To
a certain extent the people have
not exercised that care over the
conduct of the schools that they
should, and it has been necessary
to enact laws requiring so many
months’ school each year, regulat-
ing teachers’ salaries, and compul-
This
shows that no perfect local author
tly exists and that it would be
more satisfactory to have the state
bear all the expease of the schools
and exercise full control over them
This will produce a higher stand
ard in the country schools and a
uniform system of instruction.
The purpose is to obtain the
money from taxes on corporations
| have no idea as to what extent
this will provide the necessary
funds, but the proposition is a wise
one. These corporations secure
their franchise from the state and
they should pay into the state
treasury a reasonable amount in
taxes to defray the necessary drafts
upon the funds of the state. Mr.
Putnam then mentioned some of
the objections to the proposed sys
tem, but said that its advantages
were so largely above them that
he favored the plan.
J. W. Beaman read from the re-
port of the coal interests that there
was $120,000,000 balance on un-
taxed coal from the fraudulent
understating of the Lehigh com
pany and as much more from the
Reading, which if made to bear
their proportion of the taxes would
supply the $28,000,000 necessary
for the school appropriation

Moscrip, Profs Stetler and Rogers,
Dr. Rishel and N. F. Walker and
E. M. Thompson cach spoke in
favor of the proposed system and
Joha McNamara spoke against it.
