Estimates are made on the probable
cost of the whole program. Then the
board goes to the voters with a defi
nite, concrete proposition. For the
money which has been given in the
past voters have been shown com
mendable results. Thd rural school
system of Jefferson county during the
past few years has shown such ad
vances that educators of national rep
utation. have come" here to make a
study of the system.
It is, after ail, a simple matter.
The people of Jefferson county, or
any other county, for that matter, are
willing to make sacrifices, if needs be,
for their children’s welfare and edu
cation. All they ask is that they be
shown how their money is to be gpent
and when it is spent to see the bene
ficial results of wise administration.
Under those conditions they are will
ing to go still further. Alabama’s
schools, both city and county, can and
will be developed ‘and expanded just
as rapidly as the people are convinced
that theif public servants show a
proper blendiijg o£ business acumen
with vision of the needs.
