A SoLUTIoN.-An exchange solves the
vexed school-iund question in manner
which we think would be satisfactory to
every one except our legislative Solons. II
proposes that the Auditor pay out all the
money coming into the Treasury to the
schools, and let the members OF the Legisla-
iure bend the energies Of their powerful
intelects to devising ways. and means OF
paying themselves, or try for awhile, like
our poor teachers, the luxury OF working
for nothing.

lators have no right to per diem OF Sc al
the expense OF the children and the teachers
or the State. Let u hear from these dear
