Selfish men will oppose education when
they see that 1T will benefit some honest
man'sschildren, but is it right to advocate
the education of the people? We mean
to stand up for the right. If our motives
are good, with proper perseverance we
shall succeed-if they are bad we shall
fail. The masses do not think for them
selves as we hope to see them do when
knowledge shall become more general.
We need schools as much as any peo-
pie. In many localities in this county,
the houses are too small for the
dation of the children attending school.
These houses have no conveniences worthy
of the name. There is nothing attractive
about them to make the school room plea
SAINT to the children, but every thing seems
to say sang thing UU do for u school
house"
One says: Washington county is ahead
of most of the counties in the State. Our
school houses are better than those found
in many other section of the country and
our schools will compare favorably with
any section of the South" Those who
have not studied the question do not full
ly understand how much the people, in
Washington county even, need educational
facilities. 1t is really alarming when
men in this enlightened age, try to argue
against free schools. We have no issue
to make with those who favor educa-
ton among the masses, and for the
masses, but we shall stand up for this
because we conceive it to be the only sal
walton for our common country. We do
not mean to wear tuo faces; the PEG pie
shall know just where we stand on the
school question. Facts and figures will
tell, and we mean to put them to the peo-
pie in such away that they may under
derstand them. We have an interest in
the upbuilding of the country, but this
can never be done WI thout better schools.
Many good schools are to he found in the
county, but they are too few. Less than
one fourth of the children were ctually in
school during the last year-this year the
number is still less. The strongest argu-
ment in favor of education. is the reiec-
ton of the school tax proposition. This
of itself needs no 1t shows how
little interest people take in such matters.
And herein lies the great danger, for we
feel confident the people of the county will
vote the tax every time when they under
stand the question. Taxation for school
purposes is right, because it makes all in
terested. because IL is economical. because
it is just-it is the only way we can ever
hope to have schools for the masses.

FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

There are in this county 5000 children
of school g of which number not more
than N fourth attend school.
1t is said that az per cent of the Swe-
dish children between FIVE and fifteen years
of age attend school. Prussia with her
famous school system does not equal
this per centage. No country in the world,
indeed, can claim such a percentage of
attendance.
Any man that pays nothing more than
a poll tax has no schaOt tar to pay. 1t is
not so understood, but such is the fact 10
the case. Every poor man ought to ad-
vocate the school tax, from this reason,
that he pays nothing and has a chance of
being benefited. The citizens in the poor
err districts in the county will ray but lit
tie tax while the children in snch districts
are entitled to the same amount per head
as those in richer districts. Why do men
who pay nothing object to the school tax!
1t is because they do not understand the
question. Our people generally are not
prepared to appreciate free education,
because they have a prejudice against the
antebellum free schools of the State. The
trouble is, they do not strive to inform
themselves on such matters. 1t is taken
for granted that free education is not
worth much.
Let every n who has any doubt on
this subject inform himself by reading and
talking, for we know the question is very
imperfectly understood and greatly mis-
represented in many sections of the coun-
ty. We are aware that many are honest
in their opposition TO free schools, because
they do not comprehend the great fact that
intelligence builds up a country.
The school law giving us a county sys-
tenn has not been read. Its provisions are
not understood. Many men have very
imperfect ideas of the provisions OF
the Law. 1t is simple in all its psrts

THE MEN WHO OPPOSED THE
SCHOOL TAX.

At the risk of worrying somewhat our
readers with this theme we return to it
rather reluctantly, not for provoking con-
troversy, but to explain what We meant in
calling FIR the names of prominent men
who took an active part against the school
tax.
We did not then, ror do we now pro-
pose to publish the name of every ''old
fogy" who saw proper to vote against the
the tax, as some would have the people
believe. We acknowledge they had a per-
feet right to vote as they did on thatques-
ton. But every man is responsible for
his vote as he is for any other public act.
We presume they are proud of what they
have done and hope to reap a reward in
the future by securing votes OF account of
their opposition. We propose to give
them the full benefit of all they have done.
Having procured the names, we propose
whenever they shall become candidates for
Office, to simply inform the people how
they feel on the question of ommon
schools.
The history of a mans public life is
public property, and we propose to deal
with it accordingly. We trust, however.
that by the time this shall become neces-
sary, the people themselves will have be-
come more enlightened on the subject,
and better able to appreciate the motives
of men who attempt to block up the way
of popular education.

For the Herald and Tribune.
The Pleasures Of a school Girls
Life

"By1 chance a copy of the HERALD
AND TRIBUNE fell into my hands, a few
days ago and my attention was directed
to a piece entitled "Some of the miseries
of School Life" Being a school girl, and
believing in the trite adage, 'school days
are our happiest," l thought 1 would raise
my voice in defence of my opinion.
Seated in g large airy school room, l
look around me at the groups of smiling
happy faces, and wonder if a care rests
on the heart of one of them, and ~instinc-
lively words, l heard when quit e a child
come into my mind, ''our school days are
our happiest," and | wonder what can be
more pleasant than a school girls life
We are rid of the whims and caprices of
Dame Fashion we have the privilege Of
wearing our oaoa hair, are not compelled
to make street s,oeepers of our dresses
neat calico, and white apron being the
height of our ambition in that line. In
short, we are the only real independent
persons in existence. The remarks of the
''bee-gum-gentry" fall unheeded on our
ears. But how pleasant to be the recipi-
ents of stolen glances and tender ''billet-
doux" from those who are not school girls,
which are priced because they are forbid
den and my friend, think you must have
lost sight of the romps and frolics we girls
have when released from the Argus eyes
of our teachers, for you know. "when the
cats away the mice will play" Then no
thoughts of ''lubberly boys" of intricate
problems &C., disturb our enjoyment, and
from the gladness of our hearts ring out
the merry words,
.'Wag on We wild world. wag as we will,
Wen be gay and happy still"
Indeed 1 think the pleasures a school girl
are too numerous to mention at one
time. 1 have only given you the minor
ones and on some future occasion | will
tell you what | think are real true plea

The County Court is is empowered to levy
a tax for school purposes. The tax may
be levied and collected as other taxes.
The money passes through the hands of
the Revenue Collector and the County
Trustee then to the teacher. There is no
chance for "school funding" The peo-
pie themselves are sure to receive back in
tuition the money which they pay in taxes.
