keep blacksmiths would say that l will make
eyes for them, not of common Ulster iron, but
only of superior Norway iron, which will war

FREE SCHOOLS.

The FIRST Legislature of our new State,
framed and passed very elaborate Free
School Law. The officers charged more
especially with IFS execution, oro the
Superintendent, the various county Su
periulendents and the School Commits
sioners for each Township. The sue
ccssful Inauguration of our Free School
System. depends greatly upon the abli'
ty and zeal Of the above officers. The
1abors incident to their respective posi-
lions, demand the highest business quel-
tiles, thorough knowledge OF the studies
to be touglt in our various schools, and
an enthusiasm in the cause Of Free
Schools, that no vexatiOns or difficulties
can dampeu. Let us hope our newly
elected School officers may meet these
requirements.
