OUR. SCHOOLS
By Pmt. William I. Baa
PHwwKir^ awMl OtwMu.
" fwHSSS Oh
Today in South Carolina are to be
found very few people who wootd
?dmit that they are unfriendly to
popular education, and fewer still
who would admit that they are not
friends to our common schools. The
people of the State hare just passed
through a somewhat vigorons polit
ical campaign. In this, as in almost
j?jSMC^ many of tho
candidates for office have taken oc
casion to declare their o?cp interest
in the common schools. The eandi
date 44 doth protest ioo much, me
thinks,'| but most of them are en
tirely sincere in their declarations,
oome of these men will soon oeeupy
positions whieh will enable tham to
demonstrate their interest in our
school*, and their capaoity for im
proving them. From the outaide it
would seem that very few of these
men have made any eareful analysis
of the conditions of our schools, and
certainly very few have offered any
definite, practicable plan for their
permanent improvement. By no
means do I intend to cast any slur
at these men. Perhaps it is asking
tco much of men.busy with their own
affairs and the affairs of the public,
to stop to study the problems of edu
cation a field broad and rich in vex
atious questions. Perhaps, too, those
who have studied these problems, and
jiie familiar with the conditions, have
been remiss in not telling the people
frankly what they see and know.
For fifteen years this writer taught
in the common schools of this State,
and for seventeen years he ha* tried
to study the conditions which make
for good or for evil in the educational
s>stem of the State. During the past
twenty-six months he has traveled
more than thirty thousand miles in
side the State, driven hundreds of
miles through the rural districts, and
\isited l'.ol far from three hundred
schools i:i the State. lie claims no
wider or richer knowledge of the con
ditions than is |iosscsscd l>v scores
of his fellow workers. Vet he feels
that he knows something of those
conditions, and that he owes it to the
people to set these conditions frank
ly before them.
I.ct me say at the outset that I
have no disposition to forget or to
disregard the many good things in
cur schools, or to withhold merited
commendation anywhere, yet it is not
my dutv to tnx the reader's time
and patience with platitudes joind
empty eulogies, so frequently in
dulged in by those who _ strive so
diligently to blind themselves to our
patent weaknesses Our schools have
been vastly improved withju recent
years. We should rejoice at their
growth, ami even honor those who
have contributed to that growth; But
we cannot afford to stop at that. It
would be folly to assume that our
schools, and our school system, are
anything like perfect. Let us dis
cover some of the glaring weaknesses,
admit what we discover, and set
0111 selves resolutely toward improve
ment.
^ome of the most conspicious
weaknesses in our schools are these:
1. Lack of funds sufficient to main
tain high-class schools.
2. Beggarly salaries paid to teach
ers.
? 3. Too many incompetent teachers
employed in our schools.
4. Short school term, especially in
the rural districts.
5. Poor school houses and poor
equipment.
fl. Neighborhood jealousies and
neighborhood quarrels.
7. Too many little half-supported
schools.
8. Inadequate supervision of vil
lage and rural schools.
0. Non-attendance and Irregular
attendance of the pupils,
30. The missing link?the high
school.
I wish to (liicuss then* feature* of
our school system frankly, somewhat
fully, and altogether dispassionately.
I wish to avoid anything captious or
hysterical. In these discussions, I
beg to offer, as unobtrusively as I
may. tome suggestions as to remedies.
For he is a poor physician who tells
his patient that he is sick, but offers
neither to tell him what the disease
is, nor to prescribe any remedv.
Lack of Funds. To maintain good
schools requires money. Tlicy can
not be run on ebullient sentiment, noi
will spasmodic charity keep them at
a very high standard. Money is ab
solutely necessary to build- comfor
table school houses, to furnish thes*
houses to pay competent teachers
and to keep the schools open nine
months in the year. What is South
Carolina putting into her common
schools the training school of the
future citizenship of the State! In
1907, the State enrolled in tha com
mon schools 314.300 pupils, or about
18 per e?nt of her total population.
On these pupils was *pcnt $1,415,724.
or $4.50 per pupil. This $4.50 in
cludes the expenditures on school
houses, furniture, apparatus, libra
ries, and teachers' salaries. The aver
age attendance upon the schools was.
of course, much lower than the enroll
ment, therefore the amount spent p*r
pupil on the basis of attendance was
larger. $0.37. In 1000, North Caro
lina sp?nt $0 00 prr pup 1 in attcn
dance; Ocorgia spent $7.47; Missis
sippi, $S.01; Tennessee. $'-<.43; Vir
ginia, $11.05; Florida, $11.30; Louis
iana, $14.83; Maine, $23 05; Mary
land $21.32; Wisconsin, $29.34; Min
nesota, $30.10; New York, $47.40.
In t007, South Carolina spent foi
common school education 01 ecni*
per capita of her total population
Ih 1000 Georgirf spent 08 cents; Vir
ginia sprnt $1,12; Mississippi, $1.15;
Kentucky, $1.19; Tennessee, $1.40;
Florida. $1.90; Maryland, $251; Wis
consin, $3.79; Minnesota, $4.41; New
York, $6.27.
Most people will admit that our
school fund is insufficient. How arc

been offered, and several waio are
open, Some of them, however, do

riations were made upon the eandit
lon that ?aeh district receiving its
part should first mske a speeiCe local
effort, the result would he hurtful,
aa the district would soon come to
look upon themselves as henefieisries
of the State, end would* cease to
make any effort to help themselves.
Only a few years ago one house of
the General Assembly passed a bill
(knowing that it would fail to pass
1?mJw!Lv ot',er house) appropriating
#200,000 to the common schools. IIow
much relief would such sum give to
the schoolsf It would increase the
fund only 63 cents per pupil on last
year'a enrollment, or $15.75 to a
school of 25 pupils. An appropria
tion of $200.00 disbursed in such way
as to require the diatricts to raise in
the aggregate something like $400,000
in local taxes, would be cquitsble snd
wise. I sm at once reminded thst
this plan would not entirely relieve
the rtrain in a few of the poorer
eounties, and I admit it. Our present
plan of collecting and apportioning
the constitutional 3-mill school tax
is not a democratic one. That tax
is collected and apportioned by coun
ties. Some counties with poor land,
lack of water power for manufac
turing. and with no railroads to tax,
ore nt a decided disadvantage. It
would have been unjust to have col
lected and apportioned that 3-mill
tax as a State tax, but it would have
been just and democratic to hove
made two mills a county tax, as at
present, and have mado the other
mill a State tax. Then the stronger
counties would have been contribut
ing a well-guarded tax for the sup
port ot the weak counties.
So far in this State at least, local
taxation lias proved to be the best
means of increasing the school fund.
It is equitable, it is stable, and it is
certain until a majority of the people
vote it off. It compels the unwilling
tew to bear their proportionate part
of a legitimate and neeessarv com
munity expense. The ditriet which
lexics a local tax knows just where
every dollar conies from, and iust
where every dollar goes. Moreover
it is usually not very difficult to levy
a local school tax, if there is only
some safe perron. to lead, for as a
rule the wealthiest1 persons in the
district are tlif-readiest to vote a
loeal school tax.
Personally I am confident that the
most just, equitable and reasonable
way to inerease our school fund is
to inaugurate a sensible and honest
system of returning our property for
taxation. When you compare the
amount of school tax raised in South
Carolina on each $100 of taxable
property, with that of other States
the showing is very good. But when
you stop to consider that our prop
erty has been returned at perhaps
twenty-five per cent of its true value
the showing in not good. The habit
of returning a piece_of property at
one-fourth its true va'lue, then taxing
it at 4 mill'', instead of returning it
at something like its true value, then
taxing it at one mill to raise the same
amount of money, is not onlv childish
business practice, but it is a training
rchcol in dishonesty. Men who offer
to return their property at something
like its tine value are actually laugh
ed at for their artlc?sness! Civic
honesty must decline under such vic
ious system.
Were the real and personal prop
erty in this State returned a some,
thing like ninety per cent (and why
should it not?) of its truo value, the
3-mill sehool tax alone would practi
cally double our entire school revenue
In 1007. the land outside the incorpo
rated towns in tho prosperous, pro
ductive, and wealthy county of An
derson wns returned for taxation at
an average of $(1.51 per acrc. Marl
boro, one of the finest farming coun
ties in the whole South, returned her
lnnd at an average of $5.28 an acre.
Orangeburg is justly proud of her
farm land, but she returned hers at
$3.54 a:i aere. Williamsburg has some
poor land, but she has some of the
fluent fields of cotton and tobarco to
be found in the State; on the tax
books her land is rated at an average
of $2.09. In these very counties I
have been shown lnnd whose owners
r??A 1(1 ?ot sell for $30. $40, and even
$60 an aere. In one of these counties
is_ a school district containing nearly
45.000 acres of land, yet the entire
real and personal prooerty of the
district is returned at $100,000. What
would a 4-mill school tax mean to
that c'istnet? Increasing the tax
levy while we reduce tho valuation
of our property reminds one of tlie
policy of the maRter who undertook
to punish his thievish coneiirran by
periodically stealing back from the
coachman what the coachman had
stolen from his m ister.
