Coltrane Declares
Kaleigh, Juh l'i North Carolina's
richer counties shoutd help support the
poorer counties in the State educa
linnal system, asserted E. J. Coltrane,
president of the North Carolina Edu
cation Association, in an address he
fire the North Carolina State Col
lege summer si-hool today."
"County taxes will be practically
equalized and greatly reduced if a large
fund he made a reality,"
Mr. Coltrane said as he advocated dual
support of the public - schools and
charged that complete State support
would l»e unwise.
Complete State support, Mr. Col
frane said, would lead to extravagance
and that if the State took over com
plete support of the schools there would
be no reserve taxing power left with
the county commissioners or with the
people to supplement the six months
term.~ ~ *
State support, he continued, would
leave no room for the exercise lo
cal initiative and W"ii|d destroy all pos
sibility of even ljmited local self-deter
