%Ciioci law Of iSsa.


Our readers are generally aware that
the legislature Of this state, at its session
last winter, passed an act "making provi-
sion for organising and maintaining com
mon schools in this state, which act re-
pcals the acts heretofore passed for that
purpose, and materially modifes our COM
mon school system.
1t is of great importance that the people
be made acquainted with this law. Con-
corning, as it does, their dearest interests
the education of their children, and,
consequently, the future happiness and
prosperity OF the community-and rcgu-
latng, as it does, the management Of a ve-
ry large school fund, which the munii-
ccncc Of the general government has plac-
ed at their disposal, we know Of no sub
ject which should be to us an object of so
much solicItudc and care.
But few people have the means Of be-
coming acquainted with the provisions of
this act. For the purpose, then, of call
ing public attention to it, as well as to
place before our readers the substance of
is provisions, we have been at the un-
pleasant task of preparing as complete a
synopsis of it as our time and circumstan-
ces would permit.
This act was approved February &c,
ls4l, and was appointed to take effect on
the LIST day of July, lS4l, and is now in
full force.
For the purpose of perspicuity, it is di-
vided into five different parts called divi-
sions.
The first dirision-proyidcs for the
"protecton and preservation Of the school
funds and declares that they shall be
under the general superintendance of the
county commissioners court. The sale
court, as soon as may be after the passage
of this act, are TO appoint three trustees ii
each township, and to be called trustees
of school lands whose appointment.
shall continue four years. 1t makes i
it the duty of such trustees to appoint ;
treasurer and prescribe his duties and al
so to receive any real estate or other pro
erty, or money, which may be conveyed
to them for the use of schools. The trca
surer so appointed is to give bond paya

ditioned to the faithful discharge Of hi
duties, and deposited with the schoo
commissioner. The trustees are to pa,
