EDUCATION AND QUARANTINE.
| Joint resolutions OF the House, requesting the
Governor TO inform the General Assembly what
| action nc mai taken TO secure for the State the
benefits OF an act passed by Congress donating
public lands to the several States and Territories
| which may provide colleges for the benefit OF
agriculture and the mechanical arts, and also to
| establish wOrkhousns at the Charleston quaran-
| tine station, were submitted to the Senate and
| concurrcd i'll.
| THE E0EDEoI.DEHS' ELL,
| Otherwise known a3 the bill to "be.ter protect
the holders or insurance policies in the State e"
was brought mp In the House Today for It's second
| rcading and passed without o dissenting voice.
The hurried ami undignilcd manner In which it
| was passed in tic Senate was severely comment
eel upon, as were It's provisions also, by many of
the members and it was thought that when the
bill came into their hands IL. would meet with
considerable opposition.
THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
| The special order for one o'c!ocS-,hc rcport of
the Committee on Education concerning d bill en-
titled ~ bill to establish and maintain system
OF free common schools for the State OF South
Carolina "-was taken up about half past one
O'Clock, AMI discussed until after three O'Clock.
After Il long discussion on section al, providing
| that school commissioner shall he elected In
cnch county at The general election in October,
| 1870 Il was postponed indefinitely. Section 2ist,
providing that the Governor Shall I'LL all vacancies
| caused By death Or failure to qualify, ana section
2ad, providing that the school commissioner shall
visit cach school In his county at least once dur
Ing the regular term, received their second read
| Ing. Section I'D provoked u long discussion. II
provides that II shall be the duty or the school
commissioner "to see that In every school under
Ills care there Shall he Taught, orthUgraphy, read.
| ing, writing, arithmetic, geography, grammar,
history OF the United States the principles OF the
Constitution and laws OF the United States ami
| Of this State, and good bchnvior.n
CurDn thought that IL WAS the Intention
| OF the trainers OF tho 23d section to "burst
wide open the heads OF the children OF
| the free schools OF the State" nnd as lie
did not wish 10 see their heads nor those of
the teachers neither, split open by examining too
much OF the variouG studies mentioned, hc would
move to amend by inserting the clause provided
that they arc far enough advanced. JIlIsnn
thought the senator from Charlestonn attempt
cd to be SARCASTIC In his amendments; anyhow,
he wanted square fight over the bill,n ana
didn't object to any kind OF discnssion but lie
thought that II some OF the senators had taken i'm
their course all OF the Studies alluded TO- they
would be none tho worse on In the state fYer-
| inontj from which the ''acnat0r from Carlestonn
hailed, they taught the children tile principles
OF the constitution and the laws OF the Unitod
States, and hc didn't gee why II condn,t be done
In South Carolina.
CorbIn, intcrrupiing. Oh, well, Vermont, from
which came, is very good State to cmigrate
