The Duty Of People and Lesisla-
ture Towards the Free School
SystHm; ~ .... ......:... ....
The following article. from tho last
Clarksburg 7elegraphis so timely, SEN
siblc and just, that VIC copy it entire:
When State first adopts system Of
free schools, it cannot bese1pected that
it will work as we'll at tho commence.
ment as after it has been in operation
for few years. It requires time to
fully realize the benefits Of all improve
mcuts. The people cannot pass direct,
ly in moment from Que system to an,
other, and fully realize the advantages
of the change. Neither can all tho ma.
chiuery of the new systsm be put in OPP
Grafton at once. This is tho case with
the free school system in West Virgin.
ia. We hear much complaint Of the
manner in which the public school funds
arc managed, aud not uufrequently hear
it said that the system is disadvantage
that We would have better schools if
there we're no free schools. We advise
those who talk thus to exercise little
patience. All good systems grow bettOr
as they grow older, and as We know the
free school system to be good que, we
feel sure that its benefits will continue
to develop and uulold us time ADVANCES.
1t is; however, in the power Of our
State Legislature to assist much in dc
vc!opins the advantages of the free
school system By milking moro liberal
provisions for the school fund. This is
an imperative duty that devolves on our;
Legislators. The rising generation must
be educated, and our legislators have the
power to facilitate the good work. They
must remember that every uncducated
young man or young woman that is
turned loose npon, society is, liable TO be:
come .. burden to it, and it is a SOLEMN
duty which they owe pos,erity to pro-
vide against such a contingency. If our
legislators will do their whole duty. it
will be but short time until the free
school system will be working in
manner beneficial to the entire State.

A Temperance Move,

We publish elsewhere, 3 Gall to our
citizens to unite in apetition to the PEE,
sent Legislature, for u ProhibitOry IL
9uor Law. This should Tecs with a
hearty rcspouce from our citizens. Ger
tainly, no rejecting Citizen of kana~ha
county will need apy other argument
than the history Of the crime committed
in our own county during the past
year, to convince him of the eyi!s of in
temperance, and the curse Of the liquor
traffic. We are glad to learn that several
of our friends, who have been engaged
10 the traffic, believing, we suppose, thai
such a law would be for tho good o.
the community, have added their sigma
lures to this petition. Let every ont
who feels the evil of the traffic 10 human
souls do likewise, aud they will soon be
full. As will be seen, this petition may
be signed at the JOURNAL Office.

The prospects for the future arc that
