SUSPENSION OF THE PUBLIC Schools
AT meeting of the School Board on Mon.
day, it was deemed necessary, in consequence
of want of funds, either to suspend all the
schools for the Spring term, or part ofthem
for the Spring and the remainder for the sum-
mcr term. The School Commissioners re-
quest the patrons of each school district to
meet on Saturday, January 9th, TO deter
mine, by ballot, whether they prefer their
schools continued during the spring or dur
ing the summer term
This will be far from gratifying intelligence
TO the teachers, many of whom will find it
difficult to obtain remunerative employment,
while their schools are closed. We regret
that this step has been rendered necessary,
and hope that the finances of the Board NAV
be so managed in the future as to prevent o
recurrence of the like. The loss of even one
quarters tuition is great disadvantage to
the children who attend the public schools,
Many of them are obliged to begin ut an
early age to support themselves, and they
should have all the advantages of education
possible, to fit them for their duties in life.

Fence s,a,istics-Am Important Matter.

The annual report of the Agricultural
Depa, .+ment, for 1871, is just published,
and contains several important articles
two or three of which are comparatively
new as matter If such reports. Among
them NAV be me. ,tioned, an article on
"Southern Fruit Growing for the Market';"
81 Relation of Agriculture TO other Indus
tries )" and, :" Statistics of Fences IN the
United States" all possessing more Than
usual interest.
OF the latter subject, which is very in
teresting and important one, we present a
few remarks az this time, reserving the
other subjects for future articles, as We
may have time and thoughts.
The statistics, collected from various
sources, show that the total number of
acres fenced is 250, 505, 900; total number
OK rods of fencing, 1919, 1885, 900; total
original cost, Sl,747 $40, 900; annual re-
pairs and interest on same, $l9s, 100000 !;
making total cost Of fences in the United
States, most of which might be dispensed
with, about, 81 ,S45, 355, 600; one billion,
eight hundred and forty-tive million, three
hundred and forty-five thousand dollars |;
about equal that portion of the National
debt on which interest is paid and about
the value of all the live stock in the
country; thus showing, that it costs our
farmers about one dollar to fence each dol
lars worth of live stock a startling fact,
and almost incredible to those who have
not deliberately considered it.
1t shows an average Of about six and
tone-half rods of fence to every acre en-
closed. The highest cost, per rod, for
fences is, in Rhode Island, s2.20; and the
Lowest, in Florida, $0.72 average cost,
throughout the country, per rod, Sl.0S.
These various figures should receive the
careful, serious attention Of farmers, which,
we believe, would surely lead them to see
and adopt the soiling system, (which requires
very little fencing, as clearly the best mode
to be pursued. Another important point
is to be considered in this connection. The
report very pertinently remarks: There
is great inequality in the tax which fencing
levies on the farmers, the rate Of which
increases with the decrease of the area that
is fenced; for example, "a farmer enclosing GAO
acres with fence costing 81 90 per rod, pays
.;Sl $50 for so many rods. or $500 per acre:
while another, who is able to hold only 4C
acres, must pay lat the same rate) $500, OF
t$S per acre, to enclose his place. Thus the
fencing system is one of diiferential mort
cages. the poor man in this case being bur
.dened with an extra mortgage of So per acre
ito fence his land, which his richer neighbol
Is not compelled to BEAR" 81
Here is food for reflection, which oui
farmers will do well soon and carefully tt
digest and for the present we leave thu
facts with them, and may have more to say
on the subject at another time, with further
2 details in the matter. ID. ). z.
