SCHOOLS THE AWFUL TRUTH Ten years from now 23 per cent more children will be en tering elementary schools than today, 55 per cent more in high schools and 40 per cent more in colleges. We will need some 600,000 more classrooms to ac commodate them a jump of about 60 per cent, according to the Kiplinger Letter. We'll also need 200,000 more teachers every year for ten years to cover school growth and to replace those who quit or retire. The main problem, of course, is money, which in the end means more taxes. The total cost of schools, public and pri vate, now is eight to ten billion dollars a year. In the next ten years this may double and most of it must come from taxes. What kind of taxes will sup port the schools? Mostly proper ty taxes for already nearly 45 per cent of the property taxes collected in states go to the schools. So there will be higher local taxes, higher property as sessments, and fewer exemptions. James Lee Is Manager New Ohio Penney s (Editor's note: James K.
