The school tax has been a good thing for Wills Point The following letter from State
and for the Wills Point school. The school tax has School Superintendent P. M. Bral-
been a good thing for Grand Saline and for the Grand I }®y to Superintendent G.
Saline school. The echool tax has been a good thing ,aw ^Sg'lhe^schoLJic age from
for Edgewood and for the Edgewood school. The school i | 7 to 21 years and covens in detail
tax has been a good thing for Ben Wheeler and for the. the question of transfer of pupile
Ben Wheeler school. The school tax has been a good and tuition from one district to
thing for the 66 progressive Van Zandt schools (out of another:
91) that have adopted it The same may be said of the
fast increasing multitude of up-to-date communities
throughout this broad state, from Red river to the Rio
Grande and from gulf coast to the Panhandle. Can
you doubt that the school tax will be a good thing for
Canton and for the Carton school?
U/ye Best None Too Good
We have passed the stage in our educational progress
•when the people of a school district can afford to rely
exclusively upon the income received from the state
and county available school fund9, if they wish to edu-
cate all of the children of the district in an efficient
manner. The problem of local taxation, therefore, must
be solved in each distriotin which the people have made
up their minds that the best schools to be had are not
too good for their children. If any school district is to
maintain efficient scnools for all the children within the
district entitled to the benefits of the public free school,
the State and county funds must be supplemented by
local taxation.
Best People
As a rule, the best people endeavor to live where their
children may enjoy the best educational advantages.
The citizen of a school district whien levies no special
school tax should remember that, while his diartrict has
made no progress in this respect in all its history, yet
the average district in the state has improved per
cent within the period of the last five years. Should
not the local pride of the town or the community spurn
this condition of affairs? The time should speedily
come when every district of every county will levy a
tax for the annual maintenance of its schools. The
justice, the wisdom, the economy and the necessity of
local taxation for educational purposes cannot be suc-
cessfully attacked in this day and time-
Do It Wills Point Way
Remarkable thing, that Wills Point election where
$24tOOW was voted for bonds to install a city water works
system. Voting bonds ia not a remarkable thing for
any progressive town or community, but the absolute
unanimity of the thing is where the rem::rkableness
comes in—156 votes polled and not a dissenting voice.
That's the spirit that builds towns, and we miss our
guess if Wills Point doesn't move but now onto higher
grounds all along the lino of development. If Canton
can but show a mite of the same spirit next Tuesday
when she votes on a 2.5-cent special school tax, good
lor Canton and good for her school!
JNot a Rich Man's School
Once upon a time some prominent man remarked that
he thought the Univer&ity of Texas was "a rich man's
school." Since that ciay the University has had to com-
bat this notion. A very few rich men's sons attend
the University every year, and they are welcome; but
the large majority come from the homes of people of
moderate means, and some of the students are very
poor, For example, 307 widows sent sons and daugh-
ters to the University during the present session; 40(1
farmers are patrons of the school; 66 teachers have
saved enough from their scanty salaries to put their
ohildren in the University; 51 ministers have done the
same; likewise 16 bookkeepers, 13 carpenters, li me-
chanics, 8 blacksmiths, and 4 barbers. Occupations
represented by the parents of other students are, butch-
ers, laundrymen, tailors, shoe-makers, printers, hay
dealers, wagon yard owners, plasterers, paper hangers,
vratohmen, well-diggers, confectioners. Of course,
other occupations are represented by the parents of
other students, but the occupations quoted are not those
usually followed by rich men; at the same time they re-
present a majority of the students in the University.
As it always h^s done in the past, the University of
Texas should continuo to draw boys and girls frsm all
classes of people. It is thus that the institution may
continue to be democratic.
Today, tomorrow, is not all of life,
ty—vote for a school.

ELECTION ORDER
Be it ordered by the board of trustees of Canton in-
dependent school district that an election be held at the
county court roo:n in the court house in the town of
Canton, Van Zandt county, Texas, in said Canton in-
dependent school district, on the ord day of June, A.
D. 1913, to determine whether the board of school trus-
tees of said district shall have power to annually levy
and collect a tax upon all taxable property in said dis-
trict, for the bupport and maintenance of public free
schools in said Canton independent school district, of
and at the rote of 2."> cents on the 8 100.00 valuation of
taxable property in lite district, such tax, if voted, to
be levied and collected for the year 11)13 and annually
thereafter unless it be discontinued as-provided by law.
H. P. Black well is hereby appointed manager of raid

None but property tax payers who are qualified vot-
ers in said Canton independent school district shall
vote at said election. D. S. McPhail,

Attest: B. A. Mitchell, Secretary.
"The thirty-third legislature en-
acted a law amending article 2894,
chapter 18, title 48, of the revised
civil statutes of 191 I. so as to per-
mit all pupils over seven years of
ago and not over 2 1 years of ago
on the first day of the scholastic
year to attend, free of charge, the
public schools. The law, howev-
er, does not change the manner
of taking the scholastic census, and
the 3tate apportionment will, as
heretofore, be made upon the basis
of the enumeration of children be-
tween the ages of seven and I 7.
"This law has the effect of mak-
ing it obligatory upon each com-
mon or independent school dis-
trict to provide free school privi-
leges for all pupils residing in the
district between the ages of seven
and 21 years. Free high school
tuition must be provided either in
the school of the district in which
the high school pupils reside, or
in the high school of an adjacent
or convenient district. While the
apportionment of school funds to
the district will be determined by
the number of scholastics in the
district between the ages of seven
and I 7 years, it should be under-
stood by all school officials that the
apportionment made to the dis-
trict is in law as much for the ben-
efit of all pupils over 1 7 and under
21 years of age as it is for the ben-
efit of pupils between the ages of
seven and 17 years. In other
words, the law makes no discrimi-
nation between the rights of scho-
lastics enrolled in the census enu-
meration and the rights of scho-
lastics not enrolled in the census
enumeration. Under no circum-
stances does the law contemplate
that any pupil between seven and
2 I years of age shall be deprived
of the right to attend a public free
school of proper classification.
"The law in no way interferes
with the operation of the rural high
school law as it relates to the c!as-

1 school instruction for such pupil.
If the shell of the district, however,
is classified so as to give instruction
to high school pupils, the law would
not authorize the transfer of funds
| for their tuition by the county board
; of edueotion. Any school which
i is authorized by the county board
of education to offer work in ad-
vance of the seventh grade is re-
quired by law to employ a teacher
who is the holder of a first grade
or a higher grade certificate.
"Attention i9 directed to the law
authorizing the county superintend-
ent to tiansfer, on or before August
pupils between the ages of sev-
en and 1 7 years from any common
or independent school district.
The county superintendent has no
authority to transfer pupils between
the ages of I 7 and 2 I years. Ar-
rangements for the transfer of tu-
ition for such pupils must be made
by the county board of education."

the other hand, it makes more im-
portant the necessity' for the clas-
sification of school?, and the ne-
cessity for a careful consideration
of the individual needs of each
school in connection with its clas-
sification by the county board.
"Should any school of a common
school district be classified by the
county baard of education so as to
exclude high school scholastics be-
tween the ages of 1 7 and 2 1 years,
it would be the duty of the county
board of education to negotiate | good magazine should send for
with the district boards of trustees

such pupils in an accessible high
school for so long a time as the
school of the district in which they
actually reside is maintained; and
the county board should order the
transfer of the proper amount of
funds by the county superintend-
ent, Such negotiation may be done
at any time during the scholastic
year taht there is a demand for it.
In fact, the transfer of any pupil
of high school advancoment in the
scholastic age may be made on
