PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Dallas Herald and Com
mtyriGI has an able leader on
the Public Schools" Itquotes
the constitution: there shall
be an efficient system of public
schools. 1t says the schools
must be maintained. If we
cannot get a whole loaf we must
take half loaf. Keep the syS-
TEN in operation; give the chill
drcn what learning we can. The
nc. concludes as follows:
The people demand this: the future de
mandS it of the present: duty demands ii;
self-intereSt demands it: self protection de,
mandS it: the memory of the past with all
its glorieS demands it. and every factor in
the economy Of this state government de-
ma7ds it,"
The present system of pub
lie free schools, especially in
sparsely settled districts, is far
from being perfect and the laws
governing the organization of
the schools need much improve
ment. That the schools are not
exactly such as might be desir-
ed is too true, but this is only a
stronger argument for the con-
tiauance of the schools.
The state now owns some
100000 acres Of lands set
aside for the maintenance of
the public schools. These lands,
the governor and some OF his
advisers, would have put upon
the market and sold at a time
there is neither a market or
purchasers. If sold at all the
lands must be sold to specula-
tors, and it is extremely doubt
full if they could be made to re-
alize over five or six cents an
acre. The proper thing to be
done is to induce immigration
to the state and sell the land to
actual settlers in such quaint
ties as they may want; by this
means the land will be given
taxable value, and will largely
increase the revenue Of the
state.
The assessment of the year
1879 has not yet been compile
ted, but is doubtful if it exceeds
that of 1873 and may fall below
it. Such a condition of affairs
can be readily understood if ap-
piled to an old state where
there has been shrinkage of
values, but in a new and grow
ing state like Texas there
should be a steady increase in
taxable values by the opening
of new farms and the kindred
improvements necessary to their
development.

THE nc. calls the attention
of the people of Dallas to the
railways actually building or
talked Of as follows: Texar-
kama to Waco. Texas Central
from Waco to Eastland. Den
ison to Sabine Pass. Denison to
Whitesboro. WaXahachie tap,
and Fort Worth to Cleburne.
Not one of these roads touches
Dallas and each and every one
is calculated to take away a por-
ton of her trade. All roads
lead to Rome, but in this partic-
ular case Dallas is not Rome.
In the meantime Dallas is idle,
simply depending upon her nat
ural advantages,

plain that too much Texas trade
goes out of the state. The
remedy is in lower prices and

ham to Houston, distance II

can be shipped from Brennan
