"The general school fund, consisting of
loans due the state, bonds and mortgages,
quit rents, bank stock, lands, &c. amounts
to about S1,730,000; and the local school
fund to about S3750o. The general school
fund is productive in part only the lands re-
manning principally unsold. $4,000 were
added to this fund, by all act passed in No
vcmbcr last !; and the sum with the amount
remaining in the treasury, of the capital OF
the school fund, were directed to be vested
in canal stock.
"Whcn we reflect, (says the report) that
in the year 1916, only 140, JOG, children
were instructed in common schools, and that
in 1924, the number had increased to 402,
$40, we cannot be too deeply impressed
with the Importance of the system, and can
not too much applaud the wisdom and mag
nanimity of our legislatures, in cherishing
and extending its influence.
"Thus we have seen that solemn and
highly interesting truth, that Intelligence is
the soul of a republic well exemplihed in
our happy country; and while we remain a.
ware of it's close and intimate connection with
our prosperity, and incucate the necessity OF
preserving it's :nvgorating influence, we can
never be alarmed for the safety Of our civil
or religious rights
The superintendent suggests in the second
division of the report, as improvements OF
primary importance in the common school
system, that in consequence OF the dimin-
ution of the amount received by each schol-
lar, owing to the increase of scholars, the
annual appropriation FRONT the treasurybe in
creased from so, to 100000 dollars, and that
the commissioners be allowed to appropriate
some small sums annually for the purchase
of books as premiums for scholarship and
behaviour, especially in such towns as
shall adopt school celebrations, i'll conform

At what period civilization made its first

when the powers and faculties of man, were

OUR COMMON SCHOOLS.


The fourth annual report of the acting SUI
perintendant of common schools, was laid be-
fore the legislature on the 18th inst. There
are few documents among the mass which
the various subjects of legislation produce,
which are of more interesting nature
than this. The progress of our primary
schools must be always matter OF as much
interest as the various branches of morals
and education, and the more extended bran
ches of learning, science and literature, OF
which they are the foundation. 1t is for
tunate, for us, that in the midst OF improve
ments of all sorts, our system OF primary
education has advanced at an equal step,
and at this period commands the attention OF
the people and the liberal encouragement OF
the state.
Agreeable to the report of the acting SUI
perintendent (thc Secretary of State) it APP
pears during the year 1924, the number OF
children taught i'll them the average period
of nine months was 402,94
alt appears also, from the returns made to
the superintendent, that there are in this
state, 7,642 schools districts, and OF course
the same number of common schools; OF
which number 6,936 school districts have
made their reports-that 81 new school
districts have been formed, during the year
1824-that Is, 1905 more children have been
| instructed IN the year 1874, IN Coultnoh
schools, than in the preceding year--and the
sum OF 1924 81 cents, has been paid to
teachers of CO mmon schools, during the year
1924, out of the monies drawn from the
state treasury, from the local school fund, and
from the amount raised by tax.
GAS illustrative also of the progress and
present condition of our common schools, it
is stated, that during the space of IS years, to
wit: the year 1896, 1897 1898, when the le-
gissttvre allowed $4,000 out of the state
treasury tor each year-and from the year
1S14,to the present time, the sum of S96o,00o
has been drawn from the state treasury, and
expended for the support of common schools;
that during the same period S1,1l6,5oo has
been raised by tax, and from the local school
fund, and expended as above-that S9,227,
500 at the lowest estimate made from the re-
turns, has been paid by individuals, on their
voluntary engagements, for the education OF
children in common schools-that 600
has been raised by tax, for purchasing sites
for common schools, and for building and re-
pairing school houses-and that 275,00C
had been raised by voluntary contributions
tor the like purpose. Making grand tota
of 13,301, 900 dollars, expended in fftees

The Bereau, with Scripture and common sense
for his guides, examines freely the opinions and
practices of the religious professors OF the pre-
sent dav. Bound to no sect, as a sect, nor to any
creed, or set Of opinions, because snpportedby
great names, he reduces to practice the excellent
advice of the Apostle,
" P,0re all things; hold fast that which is good"
With the Bible in his hand, the Berea,a con-
tends for what he believes to be the faith "once
delivered to the saints'-a faith both simple and
practical and within the compass of the hum
blcst perceptions. Controversy in the commonly
accepted sense and opinions having no bearing
on practice, he freely abandons to polemical yea
lots
The Bcrean Judges no man; he condemns no
man unless already condemned by his ACTIONS.
1t is here that genuine HEnEsY is seated. Ac-
tons therefore he will closely try-to actions he
will closely press the nfallibe RULE, 'sBY THEIR
FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM
