We fcl sure those vo ii p a
fcainst the special school tax 1 1
this county last week must not
have ben properly informed as
to the sad ...negligence of our
children along educational lines.
It can't be that they really in
tended to rob the. children of the
rural districts of what little ed
ucation this insignificent addi
tional taic would. give them, and
had we &ny idea that our people"
would not have anxiously availed
themselves of the opportunity to
vote for this tax we would have
. had more to say about it before
it was too late. ..
We all feel proud of North
Carolina, and we have a great
state; rich in-resources and in
material wealth, and yet we are
robbing its children of what is
worth more than wealth to them
the education they are justly
entitled to. just because it costs
us a few dollars.
It possibly may be nejvs to
you, yet it is .true nevertheless,
i.1 A. ii. - A. ? i i? . .
mac me great majority vi uur
states pay from $20.00 to 37.00
per capita for the education of
their children, annually, while
North Carolina only pays $4.00.
Honestly, we feel ashamed to
see this in the reports. And
surprising as it may seem to you,
France and England, . with four
years of most devastating war
upon them, each pay three times
tas much for the education of
their children as we do.
We should feel ashamed to look
a child in the face when we meet
him, and if we pat hiM on the
back and say we love him, yet
are a party to this robbery, he
knows we lie.
Ever since the exposition at
Jamestown we have repeatedly
predicted that, with the Panama
canal In operation Norfolk; would
eventually become the most im
portant city on the Atlantic coast,
and with the war developments
there it is hastening our prophe
cy. But our people who are run
ning to Norfolk to invest in real
estate should stop and think for
a moment.
Conditions in and around Nor
folk just now are abnormal.
Thousands of people who" are
there today as renters, are there
because of the high prices paid
for government work, and in
consequence of these high prices
can pay big rents. This work
will, within a few years, possibly
within a few months, be over,
and then most of these thousands
will be coming back to the farms
and hundreds of these houses
which now rent well, will' be
vacant for many, many years,
while people in Washington
Countv will be clamoring for
farm houses to live in, for to
these farms they are coming. So,
without discounting Norfolk
property that lies within the
city, common reason is bound to
show us that the safer and bet
ter place to invest your money
is in Washington County. Even
some of the Norfolk people them
selves see this and are already
investing heavily here. '
Farm lard is sure to always
remain good, while city property,
unless in favored localities, is
always uncertain. You cannot
live long in a city house unless
you have either money or a job,
while the farm house carries the
job with it, with no chance for
the landlord to lose.
