Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Public Taxation and Negro Schools: Paper Read Before the Twelfth Annual Conference for Education in the South Held at Atlanta, Georgia, April 14, 15, and 16, 1909 I shall confine this paper to the investigation of the question, "Is the Negro public school in the South a burden on the white taxpayer, and if so, to what extent?" For the purpose of this investigation, I shall include the eleven Southern States which, in 1900, contained 7,199,374 of the 8,840,789 Negroes then living in the United States, or 81.4 per cent. of the Negro population of the country. These States are Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. In these eleven States the total population in 1900 was 18,975,665, of which 11,776,391 was white and 7,199,374, or 40.1 per cent. was Negro. First. In order to find out whether the Negro public school is a burden on the white taxpayer in these States, it is necessary, first of all, to ascertain what these States are spending for public schools, both white and colored. The latest reports of the several departments of education indicate that these eleven States are now spending about $32,068,851 for elementary and secondary public education. This sum represents every item of expense, and is just slightly more than Pennsylvania spends annually for the same purpose. This sum is twenty-one millions less than New York State spent for public education in 1907, and not quite twice as much as Massachusetts spent in 1906. The wealth of these eleven Southern States is approximately twelve billion dollars, while New York State has property worth fifteen billions, Massachusetts five billions, and Pennsylvania eleven and a half billions. Second. The South is spending $32,068,851 on her public schools, both white and black, but what part of this sum is devoted to Negro public schools, which must serve at least 40 per cent. of her school population? It is not possible to answer this question with absolute accuracy. But it is possible, from the several State reports, to find out the whole amount spent for teachers, and, in all the States except Arkansas, what was spent for white and Negro teachers separately. The aggregate amount now being spent for public school teachers of both races in these eleven States is $23,856,914, or 74.4 per cent. of the whole amount expended. Of this sum not more than $3,818,705 was paid to Negro teachers, or 12 per cent. of the total expenditures. And here let me call your attention directly to the fact that nearly three-fourths of our total public school expenditures are for teachers, but that Negro teachers receive only 12 per cent. of the total expended, while white teachers receive 62.4 per cent. It is also evident that the amount spent for Negro teachers is by far the largest item of expense of the Negro public schools.
