City (iraded School !ial been in troduced in (In; Senate al Kal1 eigh wo thought that tliis wa a matter of grave ptiNic cnin 01 n and jmhlishnl the gist of the hill in tlie lirs't available issue of this newspaper. In a subsequent issue we en deavored in the editorial columns to Bet forth our position as 1o the wisdom and expediency of .the bill. Ah that statement may have escaped the attention of KOine of our readers ami as one phrase in the copy was omitted, iu getting the editorial into type 1 we venture to reprint part el u: "That there are soni" 'ings in the bill to commend we are sure. That taken alto;, -ther it is worth while we are not certain. CThat the exemption of the cot ton and hosiery mills from taxa tion would he unwise we feel confident The idea has been adroitly advanced that the meas tire will relieve the factory opcr atives of the graded school tax; tut this1 is not true unless the corporate limits of the city shall be changed." To be somewhat more explicit our objections to the bill are lias ed on these grounds: It will de crease the revenue of the schooJ by at least a thousand dollars a year without corresponding advantage, especially in exempting corporations that (should! in all justice pay part of the, school tax. Ii will deny children living in out Ijiug districts with no other high ttcbool in the county the privilege of getting a high school educa tion without paying tuition a privilege not denied in many of the 'Most backward counties of the State. Moreover some of these children would practically be deprived of the opportuni ty of getting any ed ucation at all1. Hy increasing the number of trustees from nine to thirteen and by depriv ing the Mayor of the right to vote with the aldermen in electing the trustees this year there is created at once suspicion that here is an attempt le8 frequent . and the "num ber of trustees to be changed at one time reduced. The last of these objections is relatively unimportant. The big idea is that the bounds of the graded school district should not be so changed as to deny people living just oniside ;!ie town and willing to be taxed for them the advantages f ili city's mIiooI. '!'!; district was given its p result bounds because the people outside of town asked it and the school needed the inon ey. This is still the c; v. It might not be a bad idea to make the district larger sii!'. As to the lvst of the bill it is good or unimportant. The idea of having women on the board is. especially, in line with the. policy of progressive communities elsewhere. This is a full, fair and un emu vocal 'statement or our position. Others are at lib erty to set forth their own. The liuestiou is one ot interest to il the people. If action i taken against their interest they themselves will be to blame.
