We fad leading papers in Kentucky discus
sing this subject with some esrnestness. Yet,
in doing 50, they speak plainly of the present
state Of things. The Frankfort Commonwealth
says:
THE Common School syste,n of Kentucky is a
mOckery."
To this, the Kentucky Gazette respond. per-
tinenuy:
AYE, and most bitter one which terribly af-
fleets the welfare Of thousands Of the poor chill
dren Of the State. Bat Way The Govern
Tnent Of the State mas squandered the funds SOL
emnly set apart for the support Of these schools,
by appropriating portion oft to defray the or
binary expenses Of the State, and has borrowed
the rest TO invest in prOhtless public works.
Upon this latter portion the State pays no inter-
eat, and the schools fail because there are no
FUNDS to sustain them"
By way Of reJoindsr the Commonwealth says:
''This is hardly fair statement of the school
fund"
Yet IL agrees with the Gazette-its language
s-"we cordially agree"-in this, that the State
has not dealt fairly by her poor children. Ac-
serding to its theory the wrong consists, not in
the investment, but in the failure to adopt some
efficient school system for their benefit.
Whist is the condition Of this common School
Fund.-
According to the Commonwealth it stands, at
present, a. follows:
