Atlanta* C % \N0A8 - _ I For The Knterptsre. | Where the School Money Goes. j, Mr. Editor:?In your Wednesday's issue you republished an \ article from the Yorkville Yeo^ man, upon the subject of tuition charges in public schools, which ! is calculated to cause some con1 fu8ion,*if not discontent, among patrons of the Lancaster graded : school. The recent decision of M Judge Klugh in regard to the A Rock Hill schools, referred to by a the Yeoman, does not apply to 1 our school, and, from a legal 1 standpoint, Lancaster is in no 4 way affected by it. Forthepresl ent at least, his honor's ruling is (altogether local in its application. Moreover, the Lancaster school does not require pupils residing in the district to pay tuition, as was the case in Rock Hill They ^ only pay a nominal incidental k fee, which the trustees are fully y empowered to charge under the f act of the legislature creating this ? special school district. Some weeks ago The Review S published an ar< iole so fully ex plaining the advantages of the , ] incidental fee system and its man 'J nor of application that 1 have a concluded to ask you to repubv lish the same for the information | of your many readers who are in / terested in our school. The ar 3 tide is appended hereto. ^ A Friend of Public Schools. 3 The question was asked the 3 other day, what becomes of the $ "incidental fee" paid at the J Graded School As there may ? possibly be others, beside the m* questioner, who are not informed n' upon the subject, we volunteer to give the following information a for the benefit, of all concerned: Pupils residing in the school district are required to pay what is known as an incidental fee of 25 cents each per month, and those who live beyond the school ^ limit pay mouthly tuition rangj. ing in amount from $1 to $2. ac cording to grade. The moneys _ arising from these two sources go ? liuo me general school fund. ~~ They supplement, in other words, L. the money raised bv taxation for ^ school purposes. Were it not lor (ri tuition and incidental fees the a> levy for school purposes would fs necessarily have to be increased, Jo thereby adding to the already heavy burden of the taxpayer, t? Now if every patron of the ;n school were a taxpayer, it would is make no difference to hitn wheth Vs er his contribution to the school's support was made altogether in JU the shape of taxes or partly in f- taxes and partly in supplemental _ charges, as the result would be ^ tho same, but such is not the case. A number of the school's patrons are not taxpayers, and were it not for the supplemental charge or incidental fee system they would not now be contributing a V? cent toward the maintenance 50 j of tho school. Tho taxpayers ;>-> would be footing the entire bill, o* so to speak. 50 i;? It will be seen, thoreforo, that H'J, the system or p'an referred to is ^la ino3t equitable one. Unlike 3T th s general and special tnx levies for school purposes, it allVcts no one nnlesB tie is directly benofit ed t?y the school. Only those who send to school have it to pay. J The supplemental chargo or iuot J dental fee is too small to he a _ burden upon any one, hut at ttie ^ same time th<5 money thus raised w is a great lie 1 p to the general schornl fund. already indicated, rtf it enables thoschool tobeoperat ,in ed on a smaller levy than it would otherwise he, an 1 under this g\s n. torn patrons of tho school are rejf: quired to contribute to the hc school's* support who contribute tu in uo other way. These facts are jto well understood and appreciated that thero is practically no opposition to the payment of the ? "incidental fee." J The taxpayer is not kicking be? cause he knows that if it were not <"? for the supplemental charge hia a. taxes would be larger, nor is the >TEK SRMI-^ S.NCASTER, S. C., SAT non-taxpayer complaining be cause he realizes that hischiidrei are being educated at a nomina cost to him, and he is truly glar to get off so lightly. The fact tlia a patron is not a taxpayer doe not necessarily mean that he 1 too poor to pay 25 cents a montl toward the education of his child On the contrary, some of our non taxpaying patrons are really bet ter able to pay incidental fee than some of our taxpayers, for rr ll 1 lo f Kow r* M/v I. 1 - ? ? TT??m?V7 HiO Y UH II IIV? I H A dDlO pTOp erty in this district, they do owi property elsewhere, from whiel they derive revenue, and the; derive revenue, and they are en gaged in profitable work here. , As an evidence of the fact tha the incidental fee is of consider ; able aid to the general schoo fund, ordinarily it is not onlt sufficient to pay all incidanta expenses, but the salarv of a least one teacher as well. Las year the school paid for repairs 1 school furniture?new desks, re lief maps, etc.. $206.11, paid jan ltor $09.75 for fuel, insurarici premium and other incidenta expenses $272.28, making alto I geiher $548 14, which deducted from the totari amount receivei on account of tuition and inci dental fees?$762.50. left $214 hi to go toward tho^ payment o teachers' salaries. The expendi tore of over $100 for desks, reiio maps, etc., made last year's ex penso account, larger than usual otherwise the balance applicabh to the payment of teachers' sala ries would have been more thai sufficient to pay the salary of oiu teacher. The report of the secretary an( treasurer of the board of trusteei submitted in writing at fach an nua! meeting of the tuxpayers o the school district not only givei m U , ~ f tU? ? 1 > a uiriuij *_?i mo prnCllC'di WOTK lugs of the school and an accoun of every ollicial act of the board but also shows what becomes ol every dollar of tho school money As th so meetings are usually but slnnly attended however, i is uot surprising that n questioi is asked like the oue we have un dortaken to answer. But no or.< need wait for an annual meetini to obtain anv information desir ml in regard to tho school and iti finances, inasmuch as the booki of the secretary and treasurer ar< always open to inspection. a Tragedy.
