That is, the state will have *charge of the schools and the state will got the revenue to run the chool That would mean a state tax for schools. For instance, the new bill if a five-mill tax laid it would mean that the tax "would be over the entire state and the money taken in would he for the schools. This money would then divided equitably among all the schools of the state. This would have the effect of providing the Jarge and small, with sufficient and the taxes would not be cally. The city of New Britain is power- | ful only in taxing real estate, person- al property, etc. The state on the other hand has other and larger powers of taxation. The state is able to tax incomes, francises, ete. | which alone would add thousands of ! dollars each year to the state treasury. | This method of taxation by the state would mean that the schools would | be provided for. If the schools were under that management the local tax rate might not be nearly as high and the five or six mills paid the state might not be as much as present tax raie Smaller communities which now provide hardly revenue for | the state would then doing their | share and would be receiving money ! for the support of their schools.

The new bill makes it compulsory that at least each county represented. Under the new the Morrison plan, the board of education is given of the power which the Mor- bill would confer upon the commissioner of education.
