The Several counties of the State. Of this amount
only 81 1899 60 could be apportioned by the Su-
perlntendent; leaving a balance of 1851 So. 10
be invested in public stocks.
We trust that the publication of this informa-
ton will call the attention ofthe friends of educa-
ton throughout the State, to the necessity of an
organization under our school law. For want of
this spirit a large portion Of the fund destined for
the encouragement Of teachers and the promotion
of education, must be diverted from its legitimate
purpose, and be inactive until our people feel dis
posed to receive from the State, assistance in the
instruction of their children. The interest and
proceeds of our State school fund, which now ex-
ceed halfa million of dollars, will greatly promote
the diffusion of intelligence among us, and, by
availing themselves ofthe amount provided for this
purpose, our citizens will find themselves reliev-
ed, to some extent, from the tax paid for educa-
ton, and their children improving under the SUI
perior merits of the qualified teachers, that the
fund will enable them to employ.-[Jeff. Eng.
