THE COMMON SCHOOL FUND.

1t is matter of the first importance to
the. Taxpayers of the County that the
funds raised from the people for the pur-
poses of education should be judiciously
expended. Az the common school sys-
tenn is designed to bo permanent one,
tue expenditure of the fund should have
reference to the future as we'll as the
present 1t is impossible TO have good
schools unless we have good buildings.
The taxable real and personal property
of this County is 81, 4,454, ,s3s, The school
tax of two mills now levied on this sum
amounts to $8,909.s7, to which the poll
tax of 50 ,535 will be added. making the
aggregate s,e yearly ssccLhcc! a:aa 81 .hs
County $l2,444.S7. A portion of this
sum, say the one-fourth, might be yearly
devoted to building good and substantial
school houses. In FIVE years tho amount
of $4,000 or $4,000 could be thus ex.
pended without sHy serious injury TO the
common schools, and by this expenditure
place them upon . firm footing. Let
these houses be located four or five miles
apart, and the contracts for building
them at once let out, payable in five an
nual instalments, and an impetus will be
given to the education enterprise in tho
County, which will be much more pro-,
motive of education than if thnt amount
should be expended Is it has hcra ofcro
been.
We can never have good and efficient
common schools until something is done
to reduce the number of these schools.
So long as On average school numbers
from ten to fifteen scholars. the grade of
teachers Will be lower than is desirable,
for first class teacher cannot afford to
take school which pays go little. If re
go into the States which have perfected
the great desideratum OF all cultured
States-popular education-we will find
that they have adopted some plan for
expsnding their common achoo, fund
similar to the one above suggested, and
We hope our Legislature will give these
suggestions serious attention, and that
such Legislation will be had as to enable
our County Commissioners, in conjunc-
tion with the School Commissioners, to
let out contracts for the building of neat
and commodious school houses, to be
erected AFTER specifications that will
mako. eth struosslie cost aboa. ...sa
thousand dollars. If this lie done greater
caro- will be exercised in the selection OF
teachers, and the common school prob
lem will rapidly solve itself and become
great permanent blessing TO our State.
Isi thesp iO auuut as to the practtcability
of this plan We would be pleased to see
1t tried as an experiment. iii AAuaaorson
