Lake Forest Highâ€" paid on Lake Forest property were divided by the number of high school students enrolled, to arrive at the figure of taxes paid per student. It is very simple to see that the fewer students enrolled in the school, ‘the hifher the. tax per student will "seem" to anyâ€" one who looks at the public school system from that point of view. To solve the mystery, let us first look at the recordâ€"using the population figures supplied by the 16th Federal Census (used in the Lake Forest charts) and the high school enrollment figures supplied by the Board of Educaâ€" tion for the year 1947â€"48: Total population ..._.........14,100 Reidential high school ce _ enrollment _ ...___.__._.... 346 1,106 Percentage of students to total population ... 24% 46% You will note that the Northâ€" ern Section‘s enrollment in relaâ€" tiof to the total population in that area is approximately a half of that in the Southern Section.

"TOM" CLARK, Division Manager Oh yes, "The Friendly People" By HANDY FL A ME Your Gos Wonder Worker M A NU R E you wanted Southern 23,961 the two sections, so there shouldn‘t be any difference in the relative number of children of high school Is the high school enrollment in the Southern Section abnormally large? Or is there some reason why so many of the Northern Section‘s highâ€"schoolâ€"4ge youngâ€" sters are kept out of the school that was built for them by the Board of Education and paid for by the taxpayers of the entire district? f The figure we get is 653 as the normal enrollment that could be expected in the Northern Section. However, the actual enrollment, according to Board of Education records, is only 346 resident stuâ€" dents. The difference between the number who should be using the school and those who do use it is accounted for by the abâ€" normally large number of youngâ€" sters who are sent to private schools in the Northern Section. Now let us apply this normal 4.6% figure to the Northern Secâ€" tion‘s total population of 14,190 to see how many students could normally be expected to be enâ€" rolled at the Lake Forest High School, making due allowance for a normal percentage of children who are sent to private schools? According to "Population Charâ€" acteristics," a Bureau of Census report Pâ€"20 ~No. 24, published April 18, 1949, total enrollment in high schools was 5,913,000, with 5,459,000 of these enrolled in pubâ€" lic high schools. This, again, is 4% of the total population. It can be seen from these auâ€" thoritative statistics that Southâ€" ern Section‘s 4.6% figure is norâ€" mal, because it can be expected that the percentage of grammar school graduates who go on to high school would be somewhat greater on the North Shore than in the average for the country as a whole. Obviously, there are more children of high school age in the Southern Section than are enrolled in the Highland Park High School â€"and a number of these go to private high schools. So the figure of 4.6% may be taken as making a normal allowance for the chilâ€" dren who are sent to (private schools. Here is the real reaso;; why all of the "tax per student" analyâ€" ses are completely wrong. High school taxes shown in the Lake Forest charts as paid on a "per student" basis in the Northern Section only SEEM high because the total taxes were not divided by the total potential high school enrollment, but only by the very few students who are using the public high school that was built by the residents of the entire disâ€" trict for the Northern Section people. It is only on the basis of the 653 potential Lake Forest High School students, ac compared with the 1,106 students enrolled in the Highland Park High School, that any fair comparison in taxes and costs can be made between the two sections. There is no denying that the total taxes paid in the Northern Section of Lake Forest are higher but they are higher beâ€" cause property valuation is higher in that section, and not for any other reason. Once again, let us look at some authoritative statistics. According to the Statistical Summary of Education, 194344 According to the Statistical Summary of Education, 194344 published by the U. S. Office of Education, the national high school enrollment was 5,553,520 out of a total population of 138,â€" 083,449. The percentage of public high school students to total popâ€" ulation was 4%. . ‘The cost tables appended beâ€" low show how distorted previous analyses have been and how difâ€" ferent the picture looks when analyzed on the basis of the acâ€" It is our hope that the above figures throw a clearer light on how the tax figures paid in the Northern Section should be anâ€" alyzed and compared with similar tax figures for the Southern Secâ€" tion. tual number of children of high school age in the Northern area.

THE PRESS Operation Potential Cost TABLE I* However, it is wrong to comâ€" pare the school taxes paid in any part of the district with the cost of educating the children in that district, Our entire American Pubâ€" lic School System is built on the principle of providing the educaâ€" tion that children need and payâ€" ing for this education by the taxes levied on property of all residents, regardless of whether they have children in school or not. If we once start to view it in any other way there is no reason why it should not be just as logiâ€" cal for unmarried people or corâ€" porations to feel that they should not be paying any school taxes at all. Rites were conducted on Monâ€" day forencon at the Seguin Funâ€" eral home for Joe Borgini, 207 Jeffrey place, Highwood, who was taken by death on Friday of last week following a sudden attack. Surviving are his widow, Kate; one son, Joseph Allen, two stepâ€" sons, Alex and Eugene Hainchek, of Rockfordâ€" and Highwood, reâ€" spectively; four brothers, Frank of Highwood, Narchie, living in Alabama, Pete and Virgil of Mt. Claire, Illinois, and three sisters: Mrs. Adele Strauss of Highland Park, Mrs. Mary Ghini of Highâ€" wood and Mrs. Emma Gaines of Evanston. » That is why no "taxingâ€"perâ€"stuâ€" dent‘" charts, regardless how acâ€" curate they are, have any bearing on the matter at all. Our school district should be kept intact so as to insure for all of the children in the district the education that is their right. Borgini Interment was made at Ascenâ€" sion cemetery. McEwen Born in Alabama 50 years ago, he had been a resident of Highâ€" wood for 25 years, owning and operating Joe‘s Tavern, 325 Wauâ€" kegan avenue, Highwood. . Funeral rites were held at the Kelley and Spalding chapel on Monday afternoon for Mrs. Jean McEwen, 418 Glencoe avenue, who succumbed to a sudden attack on Friday of last week while attendâ€" ing a wedding party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Beach Aten of Highlan‘d Park,â€" at the age« of 59. She was preceded in death last January 3rd by her husband, Thomas, also the victim of a sudâ€" den attack. Born in Scotland, she had lived in Highland Park since 1923. She was a member of the Presbyterian church and of the Order of the Eastern Star. Surviving are two daughters: Mrs. Burton Swanson of the same address and Miss Helen McEwen, member of the faculty at State Teachers‘ college, Bloomington, III.; one son, Thomas, June gradâ€" uate of Lake Forest college; one sister and one brother, both of Scotland, and. two grandchildren. Walker Interment was made at Memorâ€" ial Park cemetery, Chicago. Funeral services were held on‘ Monday at St. James church, Highâ€" wood, for Mary Alice Walker, 2% daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Walker, of Farnsworth, formerly of Highland Park, who passed away on the preceding Friday at the Highland Park hospital after a brief illness. The death is atâ€" tributed to peritonitis. Besides her parents, the child is survived by a brother, William Francis, 8, and a sister, Roberta, 6, and her grandparents, the John Walkers of North Chicago and the W. F. Drohans of Chicago. Interment was made at Ascenâ€" sion cemetery, Libertyville. Obituaries The Fee Racketâ€" The county judge must have squirmed uncomfortably at the previous fees, and doulfiess would have balked at the grand climax. : The fact that two principal recipients of this gravy were in the newspaper business is of more than casual interest. It is true that partisan newsFa&eu are often inclined to defend office holders of their p;rty when independent judgment would condemn them. Little by little, the full picture is emerging of the kind of spoils politics which drained away tax money during the last regime of the Republican state machâ€" ine. It is, unfortunately, not an unfamiliar story in Iilinois. But the resounding defeat of that organizaâ€" tion last November proves that the voters will not tolerate such a conception of public trust when it is known or suspected. Fragments of that machine are still plotting to regroup their forces and take over again. Similarly motivated elements in the Democratic party have the same ambition. If the conditions disclosed in Lake County stir the public indignation, the polls offer the best insurance against a repitition. But our conception of the duty of these newsâ€" paper men is that, knowing of this exhorbitant fee practice, they should have exposed it and demanded that it be stoptped. Instead they chose to participate in the gravy offered by their friend Barrett. On the basis of the figures cited in the Daily News editorial, Cook county paid about $5.00 in inâ€" vestigator fees to collect $10,000.00 in‘inheritance taxes. Lake county paid almost $900.00 to collect the same amount. Nine hundred dollars and five dollars! We should like to make the following observaâ€" tions: We believe that the disparity between the two amounts effectively disposes of any suggestion that the Lake county "investigators" worked for their money. They may have done "considerable" work, but it‘s putting it mildly to say that the rewards were also considerable. We aren‘t particularly upset because the recipâ€" ients were Republicans. The party in power will alâ€" ways pass out work to its own party members. What stops us is that $900.00 to $5.00 ratio. Now that it has become known that Republicans, who by and large, have been screaming for economy in government for lo these many years, had no hesitancy in "freeloadâ€" ing" on that scale, how much longer are Lake County Republicans going to be able to say that "the Demoâ€" crats have only put one (or two) men in the courtâ€" house since the Civil War"? s WESLEY METHODIST CHURCH North Ave., and Lauretta Place 1015 Lauretta Place, Highland Pk.
