CONCORD, JULY 28 1897.
LttCAL. TAXiTIOn.
Bat one more issoe'of oar weekly
paper will reach our readers after
this week till the great question of
local taxation will have been passed
upon. Prof, H T J Ludwig has
promised us another production
from hit able pen for oar next issue
too with the hope of presenting the
matter to oar reader with each
force that the merits of the issue
may be folly seen and appreciated.
It is a fact that the shortness of
oar schools has tended to modify
the zeal the equipment of teachers
and has produced apathj on the part
of parents and children to atail
themselves of the meagre benefits
afforded, while the existence of some
free school has made it the more
d.fficult to secure patronage to pri
vate schools.
We have been no little discon
cer ted at the indifferent attendance
on even oar short free schools and
have studied the cause and the rem
edy no little. We have no real so
lution to ofNr with positive assum
ance, bat we are of the opinion that
longer schools will be better at
tended than short schools and the
attendance will improve under ad
vancing opportunities as it has re
ceded under the shortening schools.
We are sorry the law and many of
its silly advocates insinuate that our
people are "against schools" and are
not in favor of education. It is not
so. There is hardiy a parent that
does not greatly desire tne education
of his or her child, and the ambi
tion is too of ten crushed by the stu.
penduonsness of the task.
Local taxation seems the only
means to obtain longer and,, of
-course, better schools, as the consti
tutional limit of general taxation
'aoes not afford sufficient margin.
Admitting that opposition to
the whole measure would be a justi
fiable rebuke to the blundering law
makers; ic is not a matter about
which to be resentful or indifferent.
Let us consider the interests of the
children who are, ere long, to fill
our places in the world's arena. We
can anord to sacrifice muoh for
the them. Te tax is small and
the experiment is worth trying.
Yoters of Cabarrus please give
this matter your deep and unimpas
s ioned consideration and let us carry
the county for local taxation for
schools. We can correct the evils
gradually hereafter, probably more
easily than we can correct them and
at the Bame time bring up again a
aereated cause.
Let us grasp the good and as we
have opportunity eschew the evil.
TOE ECUPSK TOHOBItOW.
Tomorrow there will be an annular
eolipse of the sun. It will begin to
be seen here at about 8.30 in the
morning and will end after 11
o'clock. Let our boys and girls each
TQt a piece of window glass and
aoke it well on one side and look
through it at this interesting si tua
tion, when you will see the moon he
tween yoa and the sun. The alma
nac says the digit will be five and
nine- ten ts, which means that at its
greatest degree the moon will bide
nearly onehalf of the sun from
view.
Be sure, boys and girls, to use the
smoked gloss and look often at it.
You will ihink the moon is just
standing still, but not so. It if
whirling through space at many
thousand miles per hour. In fact it
is going so fast that if it were pass
ing right close by us you could j not
tell whether there are boys and girls
there or not.
Now, there may be boys and girls
there (its a sorry world that has not
boys and girls in it) but if there are
it is night to those that you will be
looking at and they are probably
scrambling out of bed in their night
clothes, peeping oat of the windows
at that shadow oa the earth, that
they may call the mcon, just as yen
do when you watch the eclipse of
the moon. There are no eclipses of
the moon for you to look at . this
year and if there are some little
moon girls and boys they can't see
any eclipses of the sun this year,
It's funny, is it not ? There's a
man now who thinks he is going to
find a way to telegraph to the folks
in the moon. Well, if he does we'll
each give him the prettiest button
we van find, won't we ?
EDUCATIONAL PARAGRAPHS.
1 A vote for the local taxation for
the public schools, me na more
money for the schools, which would
be an inducement for teachers to
qualify themselves to do better work.
Better work on the part of the
teachers would react on the homes
of the people, and many roads to
pleasure would be opened where now
all is wildness.
The most intelligent nations rule
the earth.
Ignorant people are usually poor
people. They have but few. wants
and c in not make progress.
The greatest legacy a parent can
leave his child is a good education.
