relating to the system Of puo schools vogue in
this State The letter argues the importance of main
taning the system at proper standard IN recognizing
great effect the formation of the character OF
future citizens Several abuses touched upon and
recommendations for the improvement OF the settled
policy arc fully made. The cost Of this public educa.
iona establishment Is quoted growing and
burdensome. The following table is presented in order
TO show the increased attendance and cost Of these
scbools.--

Tho owls commented on in the report of the Comms-
soncrs appointed under tho act Of April 1867 snd
transmitted to the Governor in February 1858, have
grown greater and more alarming. Attention is also
called to the manner In which the Board OF Education
estimate its expenditures for the support of tho schools
the law allowing in addition TO other $40
for each pupil who shall have actually attended
and been taught for the year preceding. instead of
charging $40 for each pupil in the public schools
labout ninety thousand in ALI, u is claimed by tine
Citizens Association that tho Board charges for
each or the whole number attending the schools,
although many may not have remained day, and
may have changed several times from ono school TO
another and thus counted and charged for

the Association claims mat the Board has swollen the
number Of pupils on paper, 10 2o7,0o
Tho letter declares further that If tho vast Of

1t should bo obtained tho basis OF ninety thousand
