Wu “An undue parsimony in the operation and maintenance of public schools most certainly will be to the ultimate disadvantage of. the community which exercises it. “There is a growing danger that between the force asserted by politically potent pressure groups on
increasing taxes offered by organized and highly articulate taxpayer groups on the other, the schools, which are responsible in no way for the aggregate increase in property tax rates, will be the chief sufferers. “If we retard the normal development of the schools, we endanger the continuance of our democratic institutions,” he warned.
