THE NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL Law.

From the Baltimore Sun of last Monday
we take the following condensed abstract of
the School Law, as passed by the late Lcgs-
lature-knowing it TO be Il matter of much
Importance and interest to our readers We
give below an abstract of the new public
school law of the State of Maryland, embra-
cling the important changes made at the late
session of the General Assembly. The law
is regarded by those having the care of pub
lie instruction as very decided improve
ment in many particulars. 1t is shorter,
more consistent, less liable to misconstruc-
ton, and provides for its own enforcement
Under lis provisions the supervision of the
public schools is vested first in a State
board, second, in a county board third
i'll school district board The State board
is composed of four persons appointed by the
Governor, from among the presidents and
examiners of the several county boards, who
hold office for two years. The principal of
the State Normal School is, eX oificio, a
member of said board and is appointed by
them. The county board is composed of
three persons, who are appointed by the
judges of the Circuit Court, and hold office
for two years. In counties having more than
one hundred schools, five commissioners are
to be appointed. The present county school
commissioners are to remain in office for the
time for which they were elected, so that the
first appointments will take place in January,
1872. The district boards are composed of
three persons for each school, appointed by
the county board of school commissioners,
and holding Office for one year, beginning in
May. The duties of the county board and of
the district board are the same as under the
law of 1868. The State board has the gen
eral supervision of the school system, with
the power to explain and enforce the law,
and to decide all disputed questions arising
under it. The county examiner has the same
duties as at present. but is required to devote
his whole time to the service of the public
schools. In counties having more than So
schools an assistant examiner may be APP
pointed.
The schools are to be kept open as hereto
fore-ten months in the year--and if they
are not open for II months in any calendar
year, the comptroller is required to withhold
one quarterly installment of the public school
tax. The county school commissioners can
levy (through the county commissioners
whatever tax is needed for the support of the
public schools; but if the tax exceeds ten
cents on the hundred dollars, the consent of
the county commissioners is needed

Repeal Of the Tax on Mortgages.

A very important piece of legislation enact
ed by our representatives at Annapolis the
last winter was the repeal of the tax upon
mortgages. The value of the mortgages in
this county heretofore subject 10 taxation was
a fraction over 100000, none being exempt
except such as were given to secure the pay
ment of purchase money for property sold
and as between the original parties to the
transaction. The above amount us basis of
taxation from which TO derive revenue for
the support of the State and county, is now
abandoned, and, we think, very wisely so :;
as this tax upon mortgages was an exceeding
ly onerous burden upon many who could i'll
afford to pay it, and was always exacted from
the debtor; besides being the representative
ofproperty already taxed, its taxation was
imposing in most cases two burdens upon
the same thing. We are satisfied that the
loss to the taxable property of the county
can be made up in a way much more equit-
able, so far as the people at large are con-
cerned.

APPROPRIATION FOR THE ALMsHoUsE.-
We understand that the sum of $4,000, has
been named by the Legislature in their re-
cent act empowering our County Commits
sioners to raise means to build new Aims
house for this county. The sum seems to be
small one for the purpose designed
and inadequate to erect new building, OF
even to repair the present buildings to an
extent sufficient to meet the demands of the
county. 1t is an undertaking in which jtdi,
ctous liberality should be exercised. The
sum named seems to us to be entirely toe
small to meet our wants.

had enough of the "sweet German accent"
as they long have had disgust for the
''rich Irish brogue." Their ambition will
now be to secure the votes of the colored
population, whose accent is of different
sort from that of the Germans. Y. Her.

THE STAGE AND THE PULPIT.

Fancy the thrilling effect of the Scrip
lures, if read as Kean reads Shakespeare, or
recites Macaulay. Is iG right and proper
that every book for public reading should
have justice done to it except the Bible
and that while every other subject is al
lowed the advantage of IL natural and i'm
pressivc delivery, religion (Which is the
most importantly should be denied it?
Set Kean to read the song of Mir
lam, or the fight between David and Go
liah, or the story of the Prodigal Son, or
Christ's denunciation of the Scribcs and
Pharisees, or to recite one of Chalmers
sermons, and you will see the people who
had begun adjusting themselves in the
corners Of their seats for their accustomed
snooze, sit up and listen to the very close
with eager eye and bated breath. And
this, simply because Kean would do the
piece justice-that is, read it naturally,
and as it claims to be read. On what
possible ground, either of common sense
or good taste, can objection be taken to
the natural delivery of ut least the sermon?
lfGarrick could set even the grim soldier
who was on duty at the corner ofthe street,
numbering like a child; and if Mrs. Sid
dons could so overpower the eminent ira
gedian, Young, that he could rot refrain
from sobbing aloud, though he was him
self on the stage acting the villain of the
piece at the time-and all this while mere
ly uttering the words of the fictitious char
acter-what overwhelming effects, in the
way Of awakening sinners, and pressing
home the messages of the Gospel, might
not be produced by men who are giving
utterance, in their own character, to the
most sublime and soul-striking truths.
