_Questions for Debate._ Resolved, That for a community of 5000 inhabitants or less a village organization is better than a city organization. CHAPTER VI. THE COUNTY. Need Of.--A county organization is needed for the following reasons: 1. _To establish the lower organizations_. As we have seen, the organizations within the county are established by county officers. But, it may properly be asked, why not have them organized by the state directly? There are at least three good reasons: In the first place, it would be too burdensome to the state; that is, the state would act through the legislature, and to organize all the individual school districts, towns, villages, and cities, would take up too much of the time of the legislature. In the second place, the organizing could only be done at certain times, namely during the session of the legislature, and in the meantime communities would have to wait. In the third place, the records of incorporation would be inaccessible in case they were needed for reference. |
