COUNTY-WIDE SCHOOL TAX ? * Expressions by our Citizens on * * this all Important Question. * * ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? To the Editor of The Times: Will you allow me through your columns to join the advocates of the county-wtde~ralse In the common school tax. As you know I have for months past been almost wholly occu pied in the work of preparation for war?classifying and preparing for eutiuiice into the war our soldier-boys in their drafted order with my heart and powers in the work; but I am ful ly persuaded that nothing is more im portant. if quite so Important, to the common schools In this crucial time. In this view I note that the best and most patriotic minds of our country take the lead and I willingly and con fidently follow. In my dealings wlHr our young men, white and colored, I am saddened, and sometims almost shamod, by the Ignorance of some more than a few of them. And the "Win the war" at all cost- spirit of the times is hampered, as only those who como into direct contact with our young soldiers can know, by their lack of education; for every one will admit that the educated, highly edu cated soldier, is the most effective sol dier in every respect. Army men say that under our system of training only Intelligent men can be effective. We and our allies lead and do not drive our men. as do the Germans. We ie lieve our boys will make the best sbl diers in the world; but the training will be harder for some than it ought to be and we, and not they are to blame; for we have neglected them in the past. Let the errors and neglect of our past be atoned for by the ac tion of the present and let all put our best efforts into raising the mental standard of our young people so that th%y may the moro effectively serve and rule the groat country which will be their inheritance.
