'1t shall be the duty Of the General
Assembly to provide for the establishment
of free schools for the gratuitous instruc-
ton of all the children of this State, be-
| tween the ages of six and eighteen years;
| for this purpose the ordinary tax assessed
on polls, under the provisions of this Con-
stitutiOn, shall never be applied TO other
than free school purposes, and the Gener-
al Assembly may, from time to time, pro-
vide such additional means as may be
necessary for the support of system of
common schools. y
As an abstract proposition he was not
In favor of common schools. He did not
think that it was right to tax the property
of one citizen to educate the children Of
another. He gave history of the school
fund of the State, and claimed that the
State was legally and morally bound to
make its loss good to the children of Ten
nessee. .
Mr.. Jones corrected some of Mr.. Camp
bells statements. He believed that if
they would leave the people alone they
would educate their children better than
any common school system could educate
them. He did not think it right to burden
the people of the State too much with tax
alton.
MIR. Brooks was in favor of each county
having control of its own school system.
Mr.. Taylor offered an amendment to
the original proposition directing the
General Assembly to have white and col |
ored schools kept separate. 1t was adop- |
ted and afterwards modified so as to read |
as follows: provided, the Legislature |
shall establish such system throughout |
the State, so as to prevent the instruction |
of white children and negro children at |
the same institution or free school"
The amendment of Mr.. Heiskell, strik-
ing out the words, SIT shall be the duty of
the General Assembly to, and inserting,
the General Assembly may" was adop-
ted, and then recOnsidered and lost
An amendment, offered by Mr.. Camp
bell, providing that the Legislature may
appropriate to common school purposes
such other revenue besides the poll tax as
t may, from time to time direct, was &C
'epted by the Convention.
Mr.. Baxter thought it was the para
mount duty of the State to provide for
he education of its children. The State
low owed to the common school fund
our or five millions of dollars.
After some further discussion, during
which several amendments were offered |
'ut ruled out of order, the Convention
djourned till $50 tomorrow.

A good story is told on a prom

respectable co;ored man to visit him

and his family, of good square
