Schools Of Shelby Face Crisis f (C'otinued From Pape One) an increase of t he tax rate, but without avail. An effort was made to lower the coat of maintaining the school by employing; inexperienced teachers. The results were very unsatisfactory to all the parties concerned. There seemed to he a universal appeal on the part of the school pa trons for experienced teachers. The Board is now compelled to cut the s •hool term to eight months and redo- all s&l&r 'i s to state schedule, or ap peal to you for an additional tax levy of ten cent-. We have decided to appeal to you, We wou’d not dare to reduce the schorl term, (and thus force rhe authorities to remove Shelby from the list of ;kcredited schools) would wo dare to re duce.teachers’'salaries to. state s thcdhle, (and thus lose most, if not all, pur nos? ev'orienm i d sure ssfid teachers) without giving you aiv opportunity in expres- your opinion in the matter. With this brief . intern ml t-e Board respectfully sub mits for your careful' considers!ion the following fact.-: It is necessn’-y to raise the ’ rc- nt tax rate for the Cur rent Expense? of the Public Schools from -a Maximum of P.0 cents .to a maximum cf "> ceV ■ the following reasons: a The extension -of the linv f - in ‘teased the; enrollment fifty per cent, but the rty valuation was increased onh forty per cent valuation Enrollment 1924- 23 ' 3,000,0(10 1820 Before extension 1925- 26 8,COO,000 2715 After extension _ b. In order to meet the reqr ;-ement$ of the law gov erning the consoli.dat»on of 'local tax' dis* v-s, Shelby was forced to reduce her r-te from 38 cents to 3» cents, which was the maximum levy rat:' 1 by the people in the South Shelby District. 2. A second reason for increasing the tax rate for schools is the fact that the itn-re, •• hi property valuation has not kept pace with the in ere a e in • hool enrollment. Ex amine th.e following tables: 1924-25 1027-28 gain per cent. a. Prop. val. 86,000.<P0 81<V'67.541 67 b. Enrollment 1,82 > 3,160 74 c. Tax Rate Permitted .3.8 ,30 21 decrease 3. A third reason for inn-easing the tax rate for the support of schools is the increased cose in the matter of teach ers’ salaries brought about by the demand of the patrons for teaches with more experience. The Board of Education, ever ready to meet the demands of the patrons of the school along the line of efficiency, has required not less than two years of successful experience of all applicants for positions in the city schools. The law makes a difference of 833.33 between the salaries of an experienced teacher. Upon an average this means that the Board has been forced to pay at least $15.00 per month additional salary for about fortv teachers an annual cost of $5,400.00. ! 4 4. A fourth reason for increasing the ,tax levy for the support of schools is the fact that many class rooms are over crowded. We need more teachers. A comparison with other schools will show Shelby’s need along this line: Annual reports State Department of Education. 1927-2$: 'City Enrollment No. Teach. White Pupils Per Teach.

A fifth reason for raising the taxlevy- is the fact that Shelby is not supporting the Public schools financially in the same proportion as other towns and cities. This means poor equipment, too many pupils in a class room, and other re sults that, impair the efficiency of the teaching of the chil dren. Examine this table carefully.

LON'G before the football sea son opened at Cornell University Coach Gil Dohie. registered in with his annual wail of football woe. Of ail the pessimistic football coaches-—and there are plenty who never see any silver lining to their football cloud, especially be fore the season opens—Gi! Do hie •ts probably the most consistent. Con>r ago this became apparent and consequently he was tagged "Gloomy Gil,”- a nickname which clung to him and will doubt, less stick until he passes out of the picture. Last year Cornell checked in with three wins out of eight games-—which isn't a record tend ing to chase any gloom away from <hn veteran handler of gridiron warriors. It couldn’t be said tnat last year’s team, despite its show ing, wa$ not ably coached! While , individual ability was sad'y lack ing there was plenty of teanvhar- i mor.y and unified effort and that is always an indication of good coaching. The result of J)obp coaching was especially rioticeahlG in the game with Princeton and tne scoreless tie w < h Columbia and It was also apparent even in the games against Dartmouth and ‘ Pennsylvania. Dobie ha= plenty of material at Ithaca hut the f ><-t that many of : the candidates for the team are etudyjng engineering and ...mot [get- on the field until after five o’clock tends to make <li 1t; k a thorny one. Having Stated that this year’s, team at Cornell is the worst he has ever coached the jr'oomy ray has alibi-ed himself all over the ramoils and while loyal sunnort- e of the red machine feel that the. present sound wilt make a better hoe inv than that .made by the 1027 team.
