each county, year after year, so that poor counties
could, by such accumulation, be able 10 sustain
school, when they could not upon only one years
proportion. So that poor districts could, perhaps,
once in two years, or once in three years. sustain
school, while under the other propositions made,
they perhaps might not be able TO sustain School
nj all.
