PROPOSED SCHOOL LEGISLA-
TION.

Assembly, HAL OlSnOuA, OF Day
ton, recently introduced bill which
not only amends the present school
law, but Is complete revision
thereof. The bill is quite lengthy,
and we have not the space to ex.
anime it critically in detail. We
desire. however, to call attention to
some of its provisions.
Section 81 creates State Board of
Examination having power to grant
and annul State certificates for
teaching, and said Board is given
appellate jurisdiction in the matter
of granting and annulling county
certificates. But another section
the eighteenth, clause 10y gives the
State Board of Education, which
has nothing to do with examining
applicants or granting certificates,
the power to annul certificates.
Here is evidently conflict of au.
thorlty. That which has not the
power to create certainly cannot an
null. For failure on the part of a
teacher to use the exact text books
prescribed by law, an extraneous
authority is given power to annul
a certificate for the period of five
years!-An inconsistent and arbi.
trary provision.
Clause l of section 30 provides
that q" No person shall be eligible
to teach in the schools of this STATE
who has not attained the age of Is
years." This is uncalled tor. 1t
invades the province of free selec-
ton of qualified persons on the part
of the school trustees, and might
entail hardship to many worthy
persons; for it is a well known fact
that many young ladies have taught
excellent schools before they were
eighteen years OF age. Moreover,
certificates are granted without any
limitation as to age,
Clause 4 of the same section COM
pels the trustees to pay the same
salaries to all teachers in graded
schools not reaching above the
grammar grade. This would bank
rupt at least two of the school dis
tricts of this county, or compel the
employment of cheap principals
not very envIable dilemma for the
well being of our schools.
Section 80, in regard TO taxation,
does not meet the needs of our
-
The true method of county school
taxation is in separate levy for each
district. This is the New England
and New York system, and should
be adopted here. 1t is democratic
it enables each district to main
tain such school as the people
thereof desire. Moreover, it enables
the County Commissioners to adjust
school taxation according to the
property in each district. A more
reasonable method could not be de-
vised. In SO far as this section
raises the limit to 81 on the 500, it
complies with the general expecta
ton. The people are willing to be
taxed to support good schools, and
IL Is uuwise that, in Order to do so,
they should be compelled to res jrt
Ia special school elections. Such
resort has been frequent throughout
the State on account of the fifty
cent Limitation.
The bill, as whole, while it is
intended TO further the educational
interests of the state. is quite faulty,
and needs many amendments before
it should be allowed to pass.

About twenty men have been at
work on the road in Gold Canon since

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHIKaroN. b. d. Jan. 5. Isl.

The National Republican gives
great space this morning TO an sin
terview" with Senator elect Ma
hone, Of Virginia. State topics
only are discussed, and nothing
whatever ID said to justify late as.
SYMPTOMS that the senator would
act with the Republican party. So
we may conclude that eli these re-
ports Of bargains between presf-
dent elect Garfield and senator
elect Malone are without fOunda-
ton. Advance reports Of what he
said at this interview gave rise to
the stories.
There is little doubt but Senator
Blaine will be GarieId's secretary
Of state. Everything points to it.
The senator is one OF q few con-
gressmen thoroughly informed in
the history, traditions and resources
Of the country. Outside of partl-
san affairs, his views Of government
policy are, / have no doubt, shared
by 3 great majority Of our people.
This fact, in all probability, will
cause him, in the new and import
ant Office lie is about to fill, to do
what he can in getting sectional
questions out OF the way. He can
no longer gain by keeping them at
the front, and to carry out success
fully his ideas of government poll
cy, he will need support from every
section Of the country. Indeed,
both the president elect and Sena-
tor Blaine (if secretary Of state
will have aims and objects not COM
patable with the continuance Of
sectionable obligation, and | now
see excellent reason to hope for an
administration whose policy will be
based on questions as broad as the
country.
There seems TO be hopeless di.
vergence Of opinion in the House
upon the details Of the measure by
which government bonds soon to
become due shall be- taken up.
There are as many projects as there
are members. Either the Senate
m ust originate a bill, and send it ia
the House, or the House must pass
and send up such undigested meas
ures as can be agreed upon, leaving
to the Senate the work, as Senator
Hamlin says, of Sticking it into
shape"
The appropriation bills will all be
reported during next week, and
probably in q form not to excite
opposition even from Republicans.
On the army bill, for instance, which
passed the House last Wednesday,
did not contain any prohibition oil
employment Of troops at the polls.
Other "riders' which have caused
controversy in the past, will be
omitted, it is said, from all the bills.
This shows, at least on the part OIL
the Democracy, q wish to prevent
an extra session.
Ono days debate of the Inter.
State Commerce bill developed Sc
great an opposition that the friends
have no longer hope Of success al
this session.
Captain Eads will be here in .
