with this unascertained Indebtedness in
much more advantageous position than tn
holders of the most sacred bonds of til
State,
1t appears to me that to authorize th
funding in this manner of such obligations
amounting, as l am credibly informed the
will do, to a million dollars or NOR,
would be great Injustice to the holder
of both old and new obligations of tn
State, and palpaole Infringement Of tn
| constitutional amendment, which provide
distinctly what obligations of the Stat
the new consolidated bonds shall be issue
for, and creates a valid contract between
the State and each and every holder o
said consolidated bonds, which the Stat
is prohibited from impairing.

OFFICE STATE SUPERINTENDENT
of Public Education,
New Orleans, March 2, 1875.
To the General Assembly of the State of louisiana
In consequence of my recognition of the
danger of the enactment OF legislation, in
furious 10 the interests of public education
in this city and State, l hasten to avail N.Y.
self of this opportunity to appeal to you to
abstain from any alienation of the now ex-
tremely limited sum devoted to public
education.
In my last annual report just submitted
to your honorable body, l show that the
demand for increased facilities for educating
the youth Of this State grows upon us every
day, and in vain do we confess our inability
to meet these necessities. With every nerve
strained to ecOnomiZe our resources, and
to restrict exclusively to school purposes
every available dollar of school money,
l can not but view with the greatest
concern and regret any effort to ALLEVIATE
any portion of the fund now devoted to
the education of the children of Louisiana,
knowing as l do that the inevitable result
OF the diversion OF any such considerable
portion of the school fund as seems to be
contemplated must be to drive from the
schools hundreds, if not thousands, of I'M
fortunate youth.
Assured, gentlemen, that you can not be
Indifferent spectators Of the great struggle
the cause OF public education is having
with the enemies of the system, and CON
fident that your attention needs but to be
invited to the great injury that will be
inflicted on our schools by the diversion of
any portion of the school funds. | RELY on
you for the protection of the school revenues
Of the State.
Respectfully,
WILLIAM G. BROWN,
State Superintendent of Public Education. |
