Richmond School Efficiency. The school board announces that in spite of general improvements in equipments and methods, it will decrease the school tax from ninetyone to ninety cents. This is as good news to the general citizens as to the taxpayer. It shows what can be done in public work where politics is not permitted to rule.

Through the completion of the high school building and the erection of the Joseph Moore school, $210,000 was added to the school city's bonded indebtedness, yet the bond tax was kept down to fifteen cents. Two new teachers were added to the staff and the total tuition expense

was increased from $102,500 to $105,000. Yet in spite of these additional financial burdens, the tax rate has been shaved off one cent. This can mean nothing else than that the business affairs of the school system are being managed with greater efficiency. The past year has been a significant one in the history of Richmond schools. They have been managed with a conservative judgment in a progressive spirit. It is coming to be accepted by educators pretty generally that the old theory which looked upon high schools as merely furnishing courses preparatory to entering college must be abandoned. Only an extremely small percentage of high school graduates ever take a college course. .Yet in the past, the entire high school system has been adapted to the interests of this small number. This has been unjust to those who could not take a college course and to those taxpayers who had to spend money for a college preparatory training which their children could not enjoy. The principle is now being accepted that a high school must prepare the boy and girl for life, rather than for college. To this end vocational training is being installed in order that the high school graduate may, when he steps into his position in life, have some fitness for his vocation. In this work, the Richmond schools have made a decided advance during this past year and we are' rapidly approaching an ideal vo

cational training system. The night school work was more successful last year than ever before. Its enrollment was fifteen per cent more than the preceding year and twenty-one teachers were employed. This night work is undoubtedly opening up a door through which the public school system may finally be so arranged that the entire citizenship

of the. community may go to school the whole year round.

The summer school conducted in the White

water district, while a new experiment, was a de

cided success. At the expiration of the term, the attendance was more than one hundred and fifty. Encouraged by this result, the school board has planned to undertake the vacation school again next summer. Another venture distictively successful was the Social Center experiment at the same school. Although this was conducted by voluntary workers, it was carried on in co-operation with the school officials and the credit for its successful outcome very largely belongs to them. It is practically certain that, encouraged by the success of this venture, they will plan more largely for Social Center work in the future. . When one contemplates the savings made by the good business sense of the members of the school board, none of whom are efficiency experts, the question arises if this much can be done under these circumstances, why couldn't much more be saved if a complete efficiency system is installed in the schools ? The employment of a school expert for two or three months would cost comparatively little but he would doubtless be able, as a result of his survey, to offer many

valuable suggestions which would not only save money but would even add to the present effi

ciency of the school system.

But whether or no this is done, Richmond people have every reason to feel proud of their

schools. It would be difficult to name any com

munity in which the boys and girls enjoy so great an opportunity to become fitted for the

tasks and opportunities of life.

Inocuous Kicking.

After being in office but a few weeks, City

Manager Waite of Dayton, was informed by his financial department that the city's revenues

would be eight per cent less than had been prom

lsed. Without a moment's hesitation, the new executive notified the head of each department

to shave his program of improvements eight per cent. This, of course, was the only business-like thing to do. It was cutting the suit according to the cloth. " Yet a certain element in the city howled to heaven at this and raised Ned because the' city, was not to make all the improvements

promised. They preferred plunging the city into

debt to financial efficiency.

A local clique is in the same boat. Some of them are constitutional kickers, tired of hearing

Anstides called "The Just," and fault-finding

from force of habit. Others are bitter because of not having been able to gratify their own private ambitions at the expense of the city. These are raising a cry because the Robbins administration is actually making good on its efficiency pledges and kick because the officials are not

willing to plunge the city deeper into debt. In a small way, these chronic kickers are getting the ear of the public but their little teapot tempest will soon blow over. The taxpayers of the city are beginning to discover what can be accomplished by the application of business principles to public affairs and they are not at this late day to be blinded by such dust as can be kicked up by the caterwaulers.
