ton, We respectfully ask the Journal to
point optin what way "our free schools
have been crippled aud mach retarded "
Il is easy to make assertions, but it is quite
another thing to sustain them. All read
ers, and all friends Of popular education
know thst the public schools of our State
are now upon 6rmer foundation than
they have ever been since tho formation
Of this State. Under the old constitution
the law which organized the schools Of the
State, could have been repealed at any
time aud the whole system Of FREQ eduCa.
ton entirely suspended. Under our new
constitution such thing can not be done
without FIRST amending the constitution -
BY virtue Of the old law, numbers Of dis.
trictS ia the State we're without schools for
the education Of the children, because the
Boards Of Education failed or refused 10
make levy. Under the new law we arc
bound to have four months school, and
no one can deprive the children of that;
and The people by their votes can make i,
rs many more months as they please =
| Under the old law, one sub district could
have longer term than another sub dis
trict in the same district, because Of the
unjust alanner in which the money was
apportioued Under tho present Law
each sub.district Of district, receives ex
actIy tho same number Of mOnths school
no more nor 10 less.
We would also like 10 know in wha
particular. or wherein our taxes have beef
increased? The State tax is precisely
now what it was during Radical rule, not
wihs,anding there has been u constitu
lional convention and two long sessions o
the Legislature held The tax Tor Stat
and School purposes is as follows: State
20c 90 the 500 valuation; State School

the 500 valuation, making in all $50 OF
