Sept. 19. 1924 "School Times" Schools everywhere are in , session again, and this is so much a matter of coura that we now look on the annual reopening of the public schools much as we do on the return of the seasons. It seems something inevitable, something that always has been and always will be. We cannot know what tne future may hold but the records , of the past show the free public to be a comparitively new thing. Originating in the New Eng land states as a by product of the church, it made its way west ward, well in the rear of the tide of settlement Only slowly did public displace the private schools in the middle states, and not till after the close of the Civil War were tax supportedlchooU estab lished in the southern states. Now the New England idea is generally accepted and free ele mentary instruction provided for all Year by year the school tax levy has increased until in most states it is the heaviest single item on the tax list. Coincident with the growth of the public school has been a de crease in the opposition to it on the part of the tax payers. The time was when the taking of money from a tax payer for the education of other men's child ren seemed to him like highway robbery. Now the only questions are as to the administration of the funds raised by common consent Once it was'Jdifficult to find qualified teachers but now the supply is adequate. We have but one question un answered. That question is : What will Young America do? The storehouse of knowledge has been opened. Will aur children treasure it or waste it?
