NOTE: An experience with county-wide local school tax is the 
most effective argument for it. Counties adjacent to local tax 
counties, seeing its benefits, most readily vote for it. See map.

A COMPARISON. 

The town of Quitman, county seat of Brooks county, levies four 
mills against the town property for the education of their children. 
This, added to the amount received from the State, makes $21.00 
per child, per >car, if they live in town, lint the white children 
living in the country districts, while receiving as much per capita 
from the State fund as the town children, add nothing to the State 
fund, (excepting in a few local tax districts), and hence have only 
$4.20 per child per year expended upon their education. 

 "BETTER SCHOOLS FOR BROOKS COUNTY." 

Brooks county is rich in natural resources which are being de 
veloped in a most intelligent and business-like way. Sea Island 
cotton and hogs are the staple products; and the recent large crop 
of this cotton was sold around fifty cents a pound, while "Brooks 
County Bacon" is a daily attraction on menus of the best hotels. 

The county receives from the State an average of about twenty- 
eight, convicts for road working, the estimated value of about $8,- 
000.00. To make this State aid effective in making good roads the 
county levies locally an ad valorem tax of forty cents, $31,064.53, 
and an additional per capita road tax amounting to $6,800.00, mak 
ing available for good roads in the county $37,864.53 in addition 
to the aid received from the State. 

And for the sake of good roads the property of the county can 
well afford to stand this taxation, for good roads make property 
valuable while making life richer in every way. 

Good rural schools also contribute towards a richer life and more 
valuable property. 

Brooks county receives from the State for schools, $22,026.25, 
to which the county adds nothing, except as hereinafter stated. 

Quitman, the county seat, gets her pro rata part of the above 
amount, which is about $4,000 00. This is not sufficient to satisfy 
the educational demands of the children who live in Quitman. Quit- 
man believes that public schools are as important as public roads and 
acts upon that, conviction. So forty cents per hundred, the same 
rate that the county levies for good roads, is levied a gainst'Quitman 
property to help educate Quitman children. This yields some $11,- 
872.00 annually to supplement the amount received from the State, 
and the children who live at the county seat have the best of educa 
tional opportunities. 

There are also a few school districts in the county where "peo 
ple are more important than property," and these also supplement 
the inadequate State school fund through "district taxation." 
These are as follows: 

Barwiek 

Branham 

Dixie 

Evergreen 

Empress 

Hickory Head 

Morven 

Midway 

Ozell

4 mills................................. 266.34 

5 mills................................. 304.45 

5 mills................................. 864.99 

Total...........................................$6,005.48 

The balance of the county lias been satisfied with the meager 
educational opportunities for their children that their pro rata 
part of the State school fund could provides. (See reports oil in 
dividual schools in this bulletin.) 

With the administration of these "local tax districts" schools 
left mainly to local interests or indifference the several supple 
mental amounts raised does not and can not yield best results. It 
is contrary to approved business experiences and principles. 

If the county would manifest the same interest and apply the 
same business principles to the public schools as to the public roads 
the schools of the county would show immediate and immense im 
provement. 

A county-wide school tax levy of same rate as is now levied for 
roads or as Quitman now levies for schools would be forty cents 
per hundred, or four mills. 
Four mills school levy would yield annually. .......... .$31,064.53 

Add the annual amount received from the State. ........ 22,026.25 

And Brooks county would have a public school fund of $53,- 
090.78, and every school in the county could, within a reasonable 
time, be made as good as the Quitman school now is. Then the 
system would be as popular in the county as the Quitman system 
now is at the county seat. And Brooks county would then have a 
State-wide reputation for her rural public schools as well as for 
her hogs and Sea Island cotton. 

The children of the country districts deserve better schools. 
The people of Brooks county are able to provide better schools. 
A county-wide "local school tax" of less than is now paid for public 
roads will be sufficient. 

This survey of the public schools is submitted to the citizens of 
the county for the purpose of helping them to realize how little 
they are doing for the education of their children. When this is 
once realized it is confidently believed that the entire county will 
follow the example of their county seat and provide
