terrible earthquake which occurred at
San Salvador on the 18th of April last is

and fountains were filled up or made
dry. The clock tower of the cathedral
carried a great part OF the edifce with it
IN its fall. The towers Of the church of
San Francisco crushed the Episcopal Or
atory and part of the palace. The church
OF Santo Domingo was buried beneath its
towers, and the college of the Assumption
was entirely ruined The new and beau

Taxing Property for the Support of SrhOsIS.

educational system requires, Isl. Tina
good school houses should be erected i'm
every neighborhood or convenient local..
ty. 2. That shcools should be taught in
these localities, by competent teachers.
Tor al least SIX months curing the year.
To keep up schools at this rate. our fund
IN most and perhaps all districts is in
sufficient; hence the idea of supplying
this deficiency by laying tax on proper
~. The object conceive is, to increase
our school fund and make il sufficiently
large to pay the expenses every year, oil
a winter and summer school. The at.
tainment of this object will open our
schools TO all who wish 10 attend. free OF
tuition. Orphans and The children OF
parents who are too poor TO pay their tn
l!ion bills. will enjoy the means for OBJ.
tanning all education. This maintain
rs just as ii should be. The education
of the rising generation is a matter OF
vast importance; and it is palpabl I'M
just to close our common schools against
any, because their parents are dead. OF
because their parents are poor.
But many among us are warmly oppo
sed 10 the laying of tax on property,
for the support of schools. These OBJ
posers are proba bly, most numerous.
among persons of affluent or easy circum
stances; whose children are grown IN. o,
whose tuition. if they send to school. is
less than the tax will be on their prop.

1t property is taxed for school purposes. -
We'll, this conceive will be submitted
TO cheerfulIy. by persons Of liberal and
benevolent feelinss-persons who rise
above selfish aims. who have the public
good at heart. who care more for the wei
fare Of the rising GENERATION than they dc
for dollars and cents.
But, says an director, 9TH )se parents
who do not educate their children. are
idle, vicious, aud worthless" This is
not always the case. for some Of the mos,
worthy people among US, having large
families. are unable TO keep their chill
dren steadily at school. and pay the con-
sequent expenses. Blu. suppose that he
conduct Of the parent is bad. His chill.
dren are not TO blame for this. and they
should not be doomed to life Of igno.
rance. sor the faults Of their parents.-
Probably their natural abilities are as
good as the children Of parents who oc.
Cupy n higher standing in society and
with reasonable advantages, :h~y may as
scholars, rise to eminence.
"But. continues the o5jector. "many
parents would not send their children TO
school even if schools were free" Such
cases ] conceive, if they occur at all.
would be very rare. Ii is my opinion
that with free schools, nearly all chill.
dren among us Of suitable nge. would be.
come scholars. This opinion is formed
upon long md extensive acquaintance,
