the accounts which have ever as VET
been rendered by the school commits
sioners and forwarded by clerks Of
county and corporation courts to the
president aud directors Of the Literary
Fund. This table has been prepared
by the accountant in obedience to !he
resolution of the House of Delegates
of 18th December last. requiring the
j
panied by a letter from the account
ant to the President, containing GER
tain results of the statement with SO mt
remarks Of his own on the subject
The necessity of taking into consider
alton the fact Of S $4,000 being
still wholly uuaccounted for out
of Sis4, 2i9, actually paid for the ed
ucation OF the poor within four years,
cannot be at all affected by the small
number of reports for 1s2i, which
may yet be expected, or by losses from
mails which might have happened, or
the very Improbable accident of some
reports having been misIlid, which a
comparison Of the present table with
the one of the same kind which was
prepared formerly, would at once dis.
| cover. The existence of items 10 the
account "ior the expenses and COM

is admitted by the accountant, mnst
require notice, as there are los Boards
| of Commissioners all of which nigh,
consist of 10 persons, to whom regu-
lar meetings at the court-houses are
| prescribed, and extra meetings provi.

disbursement of sums equal upon an
average to the 10sth part Of $4,000
While these circumstances call for
the prompt attention of the Legis!a.
ture 10 this subject, the fact made
known by the Accountant Of" some
poor children who had received their
education under the superiutendanee Of
the commissioners being now .hem
selves teachers" is Of nature to ex-
cite feelings Of enthusiasm in favor of
u measure, which, like the search for
rich ores in the earth, seeks for, dis
covers, brings to light, poiisaes, and
places where It's brightness may prove
of general utility, the infinitely more
precious rarity of native genius.
