PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


The Constitution Of the State provides that The
General Assembly shall establish free Public Schools
throughout the State, and shall provide for their sup
port by taxation on property or otherwise; and all
moneys raised provided shall be distributed to
each parish in proportion to the number of free white
children between such ages shall be fixed by the
General Assembly
By the acts of the Legislature, the city of New
Orleans is divided into four School Districts cores
ponding to the four Municipal Districts of the city,
and the Common Council is authorized to elect an
nualy separate Boardof Directors for each of the
Districts. Separate appropriations are required to
be made annually for the maintenance of the Schools
in each District, in proportion to the number of pu
pills in EACH and the appropriations are under the
exclusive control of the Board of the District for
which they are made each Board has the exclusive
management of the Schools Of its District, and they
each required to elect Superintendent and as
many principal and Assistant Teachers they may
deem proper. No member of the Council nor officer
of the Corporation can be School Director.
The Common Council has ordained that the Boards
Of Directors, for several Districts shall be composed

1t may be assumed that by the time the road is fin

Company will amount, in round numbers, to 6O00,-

aggerated it is evident that the Company will be in
condition, ere long, to declare handsome dividends
entertain no doubt that the dividends paid to the
city on its subscription of 81 900 OO0 will pay the
semiannual interest on the bonds issued to the Com
pany for that subscription and leave large surplus
in addition; and as the bonds are convertible into
the stock Of the Company, at the. option of the
sumed that the city will not be called on to pay any

CHARITY.
The Public Charities of New Orleans are Justly the
pride of her citizens They are supported by appro-
pration from the Treasures of the State and city,
and by Individual contributions.
Among those most worthy of mention are The
Charity Hospital, noble institution, which is com
petent to accommodate over 900 patients. distribu
ted in about forty wards, which are maintained in
most perfect order and in the most clearly condition
The number OF persons annually treated in this inst
tuition Is about 10 O00 at cost OF about SIS 900 per
annnrn. The income is derived from State tax
levied upon passengers not citizens of the United
States arriving in this State from foreign countries
from tax upon public performances, theatres balls
concerts, shows etc. pay patients, rents, fines ETC.,
etc. The city contributes nothing to its support.
