! ppint the. school reserves ought not to be
sold. Abt aAer the lands have become
mostly occupied. in given township, ex-
perienee wafrsnts the assumption. .$hst the
included res6fves have reached Hsndard
of value, beyond which the yearly incrsase
will commonly be slow; and it may then
become. . mattersnf public policy. that they
should be settled upon and improved, and
enter into the taxable basis of the State
and thus contribute in another form more
to the immediate revenue of the Schools
andaother collateral public interests, than
if retained for an advanced price. 1t is
also worth considering, that the compact
hess of neighborhood which would give q
fair value to the school lands, is essential
to an efficient aud economical expenditure
Of the school revenues.
: While, therefore, t1s permanent interest
of the school fund, and its useful expendi-
f'tdre, seem TO require that.the lands should
not be sold till their intrinsic value had
become developed by the growth Of pop
ulation around them, public policy de-
f'mands that they should not be retained to
be an obstacle to neighborhood, Or with
held nom cultivation for speculative pur-
poses, after all the lands around them are
taken up. Z" ~" - =.
