THE LATE SCHOOL LAw.-The last lepisla
lure made some amendments to the school Ia W
. Tue most important of which is the one ma king
e provision for laying off new districts. The pro-
VISION Is that, on the petition of twelve owners
or hoiders OF real estate, il shall be the duty oi
ne Levy Court 10 appoint three men, not resi-.
oeht' 10 go and examine the district, and. il
they nnd 1t necessary, to divide it. 1t is also
provided, that all original and divided districts
Sha!l receive equal dvdeus from the State fund.
Georgetown was last year one district, and
ore" one dividend; it is now divided into four.
and VIII draw four dividends Milford last
year drew three dividends, but having been d.
Vlded INTO ten DISTRICTS it will this wear dro w
ten dividends. Thirty-fve is the minimum
number of schools allowed in the law 10 eucb
district. Many of the large districts have neo.
lected to avail themselves of the provisions of
the act of Assembly, and will consequently draw
but one dividend, and that will be a smnIler
amount than eretofore.-PcninsularN Nevs.
