The present system din vides townships up into school disâ€"l tricts and each district raises its own inscs to support its own schools. This means that rich districts. in which! mines. imnrnve‘ments stand. or thrul which railroads run have. very lOW‘ faves, while those that are poor in re- 2 sources have to levy outrageous tax- es in order to get the inefficient schools that they have. Plenty of itownships over the state have one idistrict with a rate of 25. 42 or 60 lcents on the hundred dollars of as- lsessed valuation while next to it will be another district with a rate of $5 on the rame ratio This means that lthe schools in the lowest taxed dis- ltridts are good, while schools in the iheavily burdened districts are ex- tremely poor. This is~unfair to the ichildren of the state for it means ithat those who happen to be born in {poor districts get a poorer start in {life than those living in richer disâ€" itricts. If we are fighting for democ- lracy, we cannot neglect this situa- Ition. With the township or county as lthe unit the difference between dis- l: tricts would be done away with. All Ithe property and all the taxpayers ‘Kwould be spread back over the unit ‘so that all schools would share alike. 1 This is not only better democracy but fairer taxation and has won the sup- lport of the vast majority of taxpay- lers to whom i t eeahsb lei-s to whom it has been proposed. l W. F. Huston, superintendent of iHenry county’s schools says, “By all means the old school district organiz- ation should be abandoned‘and either the township or county unit adopted." F. E. Crawford, superintendent of Fayette county, '1‘. E. Allen, super- intendent of Washington county, Roi-1 lins L.‘Scott, superintendent of Greene county, R. L. Spires, superâ€" intendent at Lockport, Miss Lavinia O’Neil superintendent of Brown coun- ey. C. B. Bowman, superintendent of DePage county and W. R. Curtis, supâ€" erintendent at Kewhnee, are leaders in the fight for the new system. Should Change School Unit From District Township, pr unty How to get more money to answer Illinois school needs without increas- ing the burden of the average tax- payer is the problem whichthe Con- stitutional convention at Springfield is considering. School men of the state led by J. O. Englemnn, super- intendent at Decatur, and Robert C. Moore,- secretary of the State Teach- ers' association, are a unit in urging that the change of school unit from district to eithen township or county will answer the problem. ‘ “This educational system; whereby the district is the unit of taxation is unfair and expensive,” said Mr. Moore recently, “The substitution of the county or township as; the unit would spread school taxes over a larger number of persons‘ and a Gets Another Six-Year Tenn by An Almost Unanimous Vote of the County Bond MR. RUSSELL RE-HIRED ROAD SUPERINTENDENT The board of supervisors lsst week by s pncticslly unanimous vote re- elected Chsrles Russell es county sup- erintendent of highways for 3 six- yesr term. Of the twenty-two votes cut, Mt. Russell received twenty, the other two going to M. J. Douthitt, city engineer of Wenkegan. Mr. Rul- sell and Mr. Douthitt were the only two who passed the state enmins- tion held at Elgin a few. days sgo. Under the new state law the omen of county superintendent 6t highways is placed upon a competitive basis. Before a county superinténdent can be‘ re-hired it is necessary for him to take a state examination which is open to as many applicants as decide to take it. The county board then is free to make its own selection. Mr. Russell bu made 9. very ef- ficient officer and for that Ereason the county board membei’s said they see no reason for making a change. - While the government is trying to increase the supply of raw tutorials the government humus :keep the waste baskets of the nation chock full with their unperflouou'a publicity matter. ‘ The old Oakland howl at Waueonda, scene of many lively dancea m and 30 years ago, which were attended by the youth of the entire country-aide, has been purchased by a Wauconda real estate dealer, and will be torn WAUCONDA HOSTELRY TO BE DEMOLISHED down and the lumber utilized in building lake shore cottages.

Every “Mormon" temple has a font, l much on the order of this one, but i with the development of art and sculp- tors it is safe to say that this is the finest and that those to follow in other temples may be even more artistic. These fonts are used largely for "baptisms for the dead." The ”Mor- mons” hold that we‘have always ex. isted and that death is merely a transition into another state of use- i fulness, but that as the Bible claims that all who would be saved must be baptized, a relative or friend may act as proxy for a deceased person and be baptized in his name. If the deceased accepts the action, he may go ahead along lines of progres- sion; if not, the party who performed ONE of the prettiest and most use- ful decorative pieces of art in the great “hior1ngn" tgmplv dcdicamd a! n.-__ , Lair. in the Hawaiian Liam's. is the baptismal font on the backs of twelve brazen oxen, in accordance with the font in Solomon’s temple.
