How Many Schools should We open
this year? Is the questrlon. There law
saws, 1.-THE number of schools in the
State shall be according to the funds
available for the purpose" Nothing
can be palmer. The must be as many
schools in every district as can be sup
ported, be the same more or less. II
the money justly expected from all
sources will support ten schools, then
there should be ten schools, not fifteen,
and not five. 1.-THE money is sufficient
for only three schools, then there should
be three schools exactly. And eacl
school must continue not less than five
months. In other words, school officers
must obey the law, and not be casting
about for devices of their OWN. Oh
course the duty Of selecting locations
for a reduced number Of schools will be
embarrassing, and there will be fright
full amount of grumbllng among the PEG
ple-naturally enough-but we arc sim
ply executive officers, and must do Tho
best we can with the means furnished
But even if we had discretionary power
we should pursue the same course as a
matter ofpolicy. 1t is the best way tC
show % the people just the extent t.
which they are deprived Of their school
msney. AS leng as the teachers only
are made to suffer, the pesple will b
comparatively quiet, because ignoran
of the actual situation, but when thel
lsee that the diversion OF their school
money Is shutting the doors of thei
school houses, then they will speak il
tones that will effect something. AnC
the opening oil a few schools will have
mere powerful effect than tho closin!
OF all. But open only as many can b'
supported after present Indebtedness il
paid.

The YeIIsw Fever.

We publish ID this issue further ac-
counts of the PROCESS Of the great
scourge which is devastating large
sections of the South. The same sad
headings are repeated every day, in the
naners. such as 1.-THE disease still
spreading" 1.-THE number of deaths in
creaslpg," and "A large increase in the
number Of the cases." 1t is impossible
to read these accounts Of suffering with
out feeling the liveliest sympathy Tor
for our friends of the South. The de-
tails are narrowing. In some towns
all business is suspended except that
connected with the care Of the sick, the
relief of the starving and the burial OF
the dead. All day and all night, the
hearsss and wagons, with few or no at
tendants, are carrying the dead to their
last resting places. In one town, very
house has been visited by the fell de-
stroyer and there are not enough OF the
we'll to care for the sick and bury the
dead. Houses are sometimes noticed
as being closed fer several days, and on
being broken open, the bodies Of the
dead and the Frustrated forms OF the
dying, who have been without atten-
ton for days are discovered. In one
case. the lifeless form Of the mother,
with an infant seeking sustenancc at
her breast, was found. In many cases,
father and mother are swept away and
little children, without food, without
human care, with none but God to car
for them are left. These suffering men
in many instances are the same
that few years ago marched through
this valley, TO the music of drum and
fife. 70 meet common enemy. They
associated with US in the camp, they
stood with us under the deadly fire
they rejoiced with us in victory and
mourned with us in defeat. These
same heroic men are now battling with
the pestilence which is sweeping wives
and children from them. They appeal
to us for help. They want money to
hire nurses to care for the sick, and
money to hire men to bury their dead'
they want medicines, they want food.
We have food of all kinds in album
dance. The crop Of wheat in the Shen-
andoah Valley nerer was as large as
that of the present year. The corn
crop which is seldom large when we
have good wheat crop, is one OF the
best that has been raised for years.
Bacon is sold at lower figures than at
anv time since the war. Out OF our
abundance, let us be liberal. Supplies
will be transported on Friday free OF
charge. Let some benevolent persons
at each railroad station canvass the
country around and secure supplies for
these destitute people. Let not the
liberality ofour own people be sur
passed by that Of other sections. Let
the world know that while the Shenan-
doah Valley has been blessed by Goo
with an abundance, they are willing tC
give of that abundance to relieve the
wants of the suffering.

THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE
SCHOOL SYSTEM.

THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE
SCHOOL SYSTEM.
The financial situation is alarming.
One-half the support Of the schools is
expected to come from the school taxes
which 90 into the State treasury, and in
proportion as the supply from the source
is cut of, in the same proportion must
the people be denied school privileges,
probably find it necessary to keep clos
ed oae-haf the school-houses during
the current year. In other words H.
stead Of having near 5000 schools as
heretofore, we must have only two to
three thousand, Nearly 100000 chill
dren who last year were at school will
be stepped in their education. What a
calamity. And what wrathful COM
plants will arise!
The school system is in good work
ing order. Nine tenths Of the families
look to it for the education Of their chill
dren and now if onc-half the schools
are blottcd out, the people Will be more
distressed and the State damaged than
if swept by fire and flood. This catas-
hophe has been foreseen for some years
past. but as 1t had not actually come,
proper provision was not made to avert
it. The true situation can no longer
be ignored. The question must be met,
shall the public schools be protected
or destroyed? The cause Of the trouble
is well known, but the extent to which
the evil has gone is not generally known
and until the whole matter is fully un-
dersteod no encctual remedy will be APP
piled.
The amount Of school money divert
ed from its popcr object is about $780,
900, If the unpaid interest on the Lit
erary Fund be added, the total deficit
will exceed 81, 100, 900. No doubt tins
statement will be questioned by some
who ought to be well informed;but new
crthcless it is made with confidence al
ter long and careful study.
The following summary will suffice Tor
the present:

The item in the aboye statement,
which must excite some surprise, is the
deficit for l075,and 1876, which is here
put down at 5l44, 13l, .; whereas it has
boon reported at $j6.O37.9S, a difference
of sSS,O83.3O. The disagreement occurs
in the amount due the schools from the
taxes on the real and personal property,
and from the capitation tax for 1876.
This amount is stated by the auditor TO
be $474.3O0.7G. This latter amount
was reached by subtracting from the
assessment all costs, delinQuents and
insolyenls, and dividing of the share
due the schools. IfanJ error be shown
to exist, it will be promptly corrected in
regard to this point Or any other.
The deficit for the past year,as mat
tiers now stand, is about three times as
great as the average Oh former years;
namely, $25G,S72 against something
over 10000. The fiscal year Of the
State docs not terminate until October
Ist, and itis possible that this deficit
may be somewhat reduced
Ofcourse this robbery will not be al
Flowed to continue much longer, but
lust when and how relief is to come, no
one can yet foretell, and 1t is not the
business Of this Office to say how it ought
TO come. Certainly prompt ana c0ee-
nal measures are demanded. The Ques-
ton is simply one of life and DEATH
