IN the following words:
To the Honorable the Legislature Of Tie State
ofMaylnd:
The undersigned, Citizens of Cecil
Comfy, do most respectfully pray your
Honorable Body: that you will enact
such Laws, as will authorize and enable
the people of Cecil County to establish
an effective system Of Public Schools
within this county; and that such enact
mcnt will provide for laying off School
districts and erecting School houses, and
for the appointment of proper officers
for overseeing and CARRYING into effect
the same; also, for providing for the sup
port of good and efficient teachers, and
for judicious supervision of the schools;
and to this end your memorialists further
pray that You will enact such laws as
will provide for the equitable distribu-
ton of the already existing and accu-
mulating Educational fund among said
schools.
Your mcmorialists also beg leave to
represent, that they believe the amount
of money now appropriated to certain
academies in this county would be far
moro conducive to the good ofthis com
munity, and he made more efectually
to subserye to the interests of education
by being appropriated to the support OF
public primary schools, than it is by its
present appropriation.
