October 2, 1926 WINNETKA TALK LABOR ENDORSES MORE FUNDS FOR EDUCATION The Illinois State Federation of Labor, at its recent meeting at Strea- tor, went on record emphatically en- dorsing a much larger state school fund and its apportionment to thie schools primarily for the purpose of equalizing educational opportunity. Whereas, The Constitution of the State of Illinois declares that "the General Assembly shall provide a thorough and efficient system of free schools whereby all the children of the state may receive a good common school education ;" Whereas, The financial support for the public schools is derived almost altogether from the general property tax; Whereas, The large number of small school districts and the unequal distri- bution of children and assessable pro- perty among them have caused extreme inequalities in educational opportunities and in rates of school taxation, thus nullifying the constitutional provision for a thorough and efficient system for all children; Whereas, These inequalities often cause the poorer school advantages and the higher tax rates to exist in indus- trial communi®es where the schools are attended by the children of wage earners; and Whereas, Other states make large contributions from state funds raised by state taxes to equalize educational op- portunities, and our own state has a small state school fund that has proved inadequate to effect even an approxi- mately equality; therefore,-- Be it Resolved, That we recommend and insist upon liberal increases in the state school fund appropriated by our General Assembly until it shall equal 25 per cent of the total cost of the public schools and that such fund be apportioned to the schools primarily for the purpose of promoting one of the fundamental principles and pur- poses of democracy, the equalization of educational opportunity; and Be it Resolved, That we call upon the State Department of Finance to include an adequate increase in the State School Fund in the State Budget pre- pared for the 55th General Assembly, that we support bills providing for an adequate increase and for a proper apportionment, and that we urge the Governor, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Director of the Department of Registration and Edu- cation to endorse and aid our efforts to bring about the enactment of such bills. | Floods Boost Typhoid Prevalence in Illinois Climbing seventy-nine per cent since September 1, typhoid fever prev- alence in Illinois reached the highest level of the year last week when seventy-two cases were reported, ac- cording to Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director. Only forty-one cases were reported during the first week of this month. "While the situation is by no means alarming," said Dr. Rawlings, "the sud- den and decided increase in typhoid prevalent since the first week in Sep- tember is unusual and indications point toward a continued rise for several weeks unless rigid sanitary precau- tions are employed. Evidence at hand signifies that unsanitary conditions left in the path of floods and excessive rainfall have contributed materially to the spread of this disease." W. C. T. U.
