COMMON ScHooLs.-Soon after the commencement
of the war and when it became apparent that large
amount of money would have be raised for pur-
poses it was proposed by several persons in the State
that no further distribution should be made for Com
mon Schools but that the money should be allowed to
remain in the Treasury and be used deray the
expenses of the State government and suggestions of
this sort were made to the Literary Board But the
Board thought that the fund should be appropriated
to the laudubIe and sacred purpose of educating, or
helping educate the poor children of the State, for
which purpose the law had expressly designated it be
used Therefore, the last meeting of the Board the
usual distribution made, be paid the st OF
April But understand, several of the County
Courts refused neglected provide for raising
the usual amount assisting the State appropriation
in keeping up the Common Schools. In this county
for instance the Magistrates only refused levy
tax to aid in supporting the Schools but they directed
that the money already hand be appropriated to
other purposes If the people of the county salts
fed with this arrangement, shall not object though
we must say that we consider it bad policy to thus
abandon and annul in the county, the whole school
system.
The question now is. those counties which have
refused TO aid in continuing the SYSTEM entitled any
portion of the amount 20 be distributed in April? Or
ought the amount to be paid to them after they have
manifested Il disposition to abandon the system and re-
fused to aid it, and when it is evident they will not use
it for the purpose intended? We suppose not; though
it is a matter. think, which requires the attention
and consideration of the Directors othe Literary Fund
If any of the counties desire the Schools
tinued it strikes us that further appropriation
should he allowed them from the State Treasury for
that purpose.
