Excerpt from Primary Education and the Race Problem: An Address to the People of VirginiaThe case is entirely different with the Counties and public free school districts. Nowhere in the Constitution can it be found where there is any command that they s/zall do anything. It leaves the question entirely to their discretion, the only arbitrary feature being the inhibition that such local tax, if levied, shall not exceed a rate of five mills in one year. To grant one permission to do carries with it as a necessary corollary the right to refrain from doing, therefore the Constitution, in leaving the matter of local taxation for public free school purposes to the discretion of the local authorities, left them free to do or not to do as they thought proper. Any act of the legislature to compel the local authorities to levy a tax or to for bid them doing so was clearly in violation of the Constitution and an invasion of the rights of local government.The public free school system was founded upon the assumption that the education of the masses was good public policy and that all the people had a common interest in it, therefore it was the duty of the State to educate all.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
