Items for the Thoughtful.

The constitution of the State of Maryland
declares that "tho General Assembly
shall, by law, establish throughout the
State thorough and efficient Hystem OF
free public schools, and shall provide by
taxation and otherwise for their mainten-
aneeh Here was an example furnished,
not by Massacf 1setts, but by Maryland,
for the imitatloflof the Tennessee Consti-
tutional Convention, that assembled at
Nashville last winter. But no example,
however good, and however given 10y u
Southern, and now Democratic State, would
serve the turn of that convention. Is Is
understood that while certain Conserve
tive members favored common schools,
certain leading members OF the convention
went so far as to hold the opinion that tho
masses of tho people are better governed
in state of ignorance than In one of
knowledge, and, therefore, free public
schools should not be countennnced and
provided for by the State. In other words,
" the few, booted and spurred, arc enti-
tied to ride the many, the few should be
educated, because they can then ride the
better; but the many, who were born to
be ridden, should not be educated, because
they will then bear the bride and whip the
better, and go more obediently in the way
their riders choose" Will the people
keep IN ignorance that they may be gov
erncd by the few?
In an address to the Citizens Of Mary
land, - recently published, ii il said
I'm Maryland, whero there are so many ad-
vocatea of free public schools, we assume moth
ing need be said in their behalf The instrus-
ton in those schools last year of upward of one
hundred thousand scholars, and tho expond-
turo of upwards of thirteen hundred thousand
dollars Of the public money, manifest n deep
interest in them"
THE wealthy can have their sons educated
abroad at any cXpenss-thc less fortunate must
educate theirs At home, and at lower rates, or
not at all"
The learning and the knowledge in the arts

tute part of the wealth and capital of the State,

THE CHRONICLE FOR 1871
A NEW FEATURE,
Facts about East Tennessee ! /!
Interesting to immigrants.
FOSTERING HOME INTERESTS.

We propose to begin, on or about the LIST
of January next, the publication of a series
OF articles on the Climate Boil, Produc-
uons, Minerals, Resources and General
Attractions offered by East Tennessee to
Immigrants. These articles will give facts
and figures, compiled with great care, and
the object of their publication In to furnish
general information to the great and grow
ing elnxs of mon scattered all over the
Northorn States who are ROW, and have
been for some time, looking towards East
Tennessee as place where, if sufficient at
fractions were presented, they might be
induced to locate. The great need of such
information has been realized by us after
an extended trip North and East, and we
hope by this means to be able to give cir
cuatlou 60 facts concerning our greatly IA
vored section which, If once understood.
will certainly draw to our doors
part Mt least of the great tide of
immigrants that yearly add to the popula-
ton and wealth OF the mighty North
West. That n general diffusion OF such
information will result in great good to US
there can be no possible doubt for we have
in our genial climate and great natural
advantages the very attractions desired by
80 many. The facts, If once understood,
are all we need While the growing States
of the West are constant in their efforts to
attract the immigrant we are content to sit
quietly by and see the tide sweep unceas-
ingly past, ever enriching and strengthen
ing those who put out their hands toward
IL.
Believing that through such means more
than any other our future growth is to be
secured, we have determined to direct our
efforts in the channel named, and promise
to make them as thorough and eff
Client as possible, 1t will be our
| aim to publish as much as two columns of
| such information in every issue OF our
| WEEKLY. \ portion Of this space, and
some additional to the two columns when
| necessary, will be devoted to giving an
swers TO all interrogatories propounded
by correspondents touching the points of
| interest to immigrants In this way we
| hope to awaken an interest in this subject
among our own people, and be the means
of attracting attention to what we believe
| TO be our unsurpassed resources and ad-
Nantages.
To aid in this good work we hope to
have the cooperation of all our citizens,
and shall be glad to have from them COM
munications giving facts and figures peril
nsnt to the object in view of any such aid
| will be fully appreciated and used to the
best advantage possible. Any meteorolo-
gical tables, facts about crops, minerals,
timber, stock, lands, &C., will be especially
useful and acceptable, All such facts will
be compiled and presented Systematically.
in the most attractive way.
| The work Is one of benefit to the public
generally, and we hope to be aided in
every practicable way in its prosecution.
