As to Our Six Months School Term.
Editor Democrat: You phv
pi your paper of recent date thut
the Board ol Education would
ask the Couuty commissioners to
levy an extra tax oi lot-, on the
1100.00 valuation pf jjll proper
ty and 43c. on the poll to bring
the schools of Watauga up to a
four months terra. The s i x
mouths school law passed at the
last Legislature requires that
each county furnish out of its
own funds at least a four months
school before it is entitled to any
State aid. Now, let us figure a
little.
According to Prof. B. B. Dou
gherty's report of the lunds re
ceived for the M'hool year Irotn
July 1, to June 30, '11 m.d '12
we received from the two hun
dred and twenty-flve thousand
dollars appropriated by th State
for the benefit of the pauper coun
ties, 2,242.00. This amount was
sufficient to give us i f o u r
month's school -vhen ad led to
our own resources The valu ol
all property as assessed in 1911
was $2,417,466. By levying ar
extra tax ol 10c. on the $100.0
valuatiou we would have about
$2,400, or a sum somewhat lar
ger than we received from the
State last year to give us a foui
month? term. Based on the wala
ries we have been paving out
teachers, the above extra 10c.
levy on the $100.00 would in
sure us a six mom lis school with
out any levy on the poll.
Now, Watauga people, whicl
had you rather do. pay an extre
ten cents on on th- $100.00 anc
have a six mouths school or no'
pay it and have a three months
school? There you are, and 1

you would do well t" eee trV

YOU don't have to be a painter to do this. You can
make a great deal more than the painter without doing
any of the work yourself.
YOU pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a house '

as long. We would like to figure costs with you and show
you how much you will be ahead. Not only this but any
