The School Project.

FRIEND RlcxErrs:-I have seen with
great pleasure the proposition to establish
a system OF Common Schools for this coun-
ty. had no idea that the object was SO
easily attainable and so entirely in the
power the people as by the publication
in thy paper Of last week it is made to ap-
pear.
The efficiency Of the system therein
proposed is plain from its perusal, and the
expense is soeevenly laid on all the people,
that thnik no reasonable man should hes
ltate to give to II his support. 1t brings
within a reasonable distance OF every man,
a good common school, and at an expense
to those who have children, not greater
than has heretofore been paid by them, tor
sending their children to schools, many Of
which were such only IN name.
In this part Of the county single men
and men with yearly salaries and who
have no children, seem very willing to pay
their part towards so excellent work,
and | think those persons, upon whom
that small part OF the tax shall fall, that IS
laid upon the county assessment should be
ashamed to object to bearing so small a
burthen when they shall thereby accom-
plish SO great good. In other States l
am told, this tax is laid as county or
state tax, no part being laid upon the chll-
dren.
! hope those who at present represent
our county IN the legislature, will see the
necessity of prompt attention TO this subject,
now, 1t has been so well arranged to their
hands, and not allow another month to
pass, without enabling the people to go
forward in this noble enterprise. With
this law, and simultaneous repeal of the
"License La~," the people of Cecil coun-
ty verify believe, will make a greater
progress in moral and intellectual improve
ment in the next five years than they have
ever done in any previous fifty years.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1850-02-16
For The Cecil Wing.
The School system.

Mr.. RicKETTs:-An important error
occurred in the synopsis of the School
Bill as published in your paper OF Satur-
day last which you will oblige me by
correcting.
This error is in the insertion OF the
figure 4 for | BY which We are made to
provide that whenever the income ofany
man shall be assessed at a sum equal TO
$500 and upwards, he shall be required
to pay an additional tax of 81 for each
and every child he may have residing
in Cecil county between the ages of
and Is years: it should be Isl for each
and every such child.
As there seems to be some misunder-
standing of the provisions Of the Bill IN
regard to the tax upon children it may
not be improper to state them more dis
tinctly.
One original purpose and provision;
was to lay the lax only upon such per-
sons as should be assessed upon their sala-
ry or income, at a sum equal to, or above
300, and 10 require such to pay 81, for
every child between 6 and IS wears.
Upon reflection we thought, it would be
more equitable to lay this character of
tax to some extent upon those OF less in
come. Not willing however TO tax a
very poor man for all his children, we
determined to grade the matter from that
sum $4,000 downwards, and the propo-
sition submitted to the convention, and
adopted by that body is this:
If a man earns but 800 year he pays
nothing but his 81 income tax, no mat
ter how many children he may have
If he earns $3.50, he will pay IN addition
10 his income tax, 81 for his child or
children il he have any, but only this
one dollar il he has dozen children. So
if he earn $500 he is to pay for two chill
dren if he has them, but only for two
that is; s. for his income and So for his
children If $3.50 then he is to pay for
2 children, 81 each If he has 3 children
or for as many as he has under that mum
Der, but only Tor three. Ifhis income
runs up to 5000 we regard him as we'll
able to pay 81 for every child lie may
have, in consideration ofthe great ad :
vantages we purpose to give HIM in the
education Of his children.
Th.s character OF tax may to many
persons appear 10 be oppressive, but we
think when they come to eonside, it in
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1850-02-16

its true light their objections will be re-
moved For any other public purpose
il might justly be so considered !; but no
man wishes to have his children educa.
ted upon the charity of the public By
the payment oil this tax lie contributes
his just proportion of this public burthen
and his child stands upon the School
house floor, upon level with the child
of the most wealthy man in the county.
This is our purpose; not only that the
School house door may be open to every
child, but that on enterlng::it, every
child should stand upon an equality. We
cannot but think that when the proper
tion is reviewed ia this light, the tax
will be most cheerfully paid.
