Ofali the debts which are annually present
ed to the Legislature, we believe there are are
none paid with such reluctance as those for ad
verlising. May we ask, why is this? Is the
amount of advertising so much publisher
Of secular work can obtain one or two thous.
and dollars from the Legislature: merely as a
token Of encouragement, and yet, 1t the ollls
of the newspaper press amount to four or hve
thousand dollars, there is a great noise made
and economy is recommended. Let US exam
inc into this matter. The Executive may exer
else all the discretion and economy possible,
and yet,to comply with the law OF the State,
an annual outlay is necessary to be made tor

year was $4,000, we will warrant the expen-
dture could not be lessencd more than one
half-S250O Now what signifies S250O, es-
peciallv when virtualty devoted to the cause
of Education. Newspapers have done as
much for tn. cause of education, as the Free
School Fund.- And yet, every successive ses
sion Of the Legislature we see a spirit of oppo-
>ition exhibited towards the country Press, for
having received any portion of Executive pa.
tronage.
We speak on this matter as if no benefit &C.
crued 10 the State proper, for this outlay.

the youth, beauty and responsibility of the

Mr. BowMAN-T'he friends of Florida will
be pleased to learn that the Board of Educa
ton of the East Florida State Seminary, at
Ocala, have secured an able and efficient facul-
ty, at the head of whom is Mr.. J. G. Bow.
man, late of Columbia, South Carolina. In
reference to this institution, the Florida Mir: or
remarks:
"The wise legislators who conceived and
founded the State Seminaries of Florida, ir.
tended they should rot only subscrve the
purposes of high schools or colleges, but that
they should constitute part Of the common
school system of the State, being normal
schools, or centres for the education of teach
ers for the State Nor did the purpose of its
founders stop at providing semnaries for the
culture of the mind alone, but contemplated
the fitting of the rising generation to meet and
overcome the stern realities Of life, hy sci
entfc education in agriculture and the mechan-
ic arts, through the instrumcntality of agricu.
tural and mechanical departments with appro-
pirate professorships, and necessary appendagcs
When the plan shall be fully carried ont it
will form the greatest system Of education
knoYn in the wcrli. Its practicability depends
alone upon the extent of the funds arising from
the sale of the lands donated to the State by
the General Government, and the hearty sup
port and patronage of our people. There is
but little doubt, from the prospect Of emigra-
ton to our Stae, that the fund from the sale
of the lands will be ample; and it was with
an eye to the accomplishment of those grand
results contemplated by its founders, the Board
Of Education for the East Florida State Semi
