what is really needle. for the Department of Public
Instruction. Mr. HARRISON finally certifying that the
Superintendent of Instruction had shown the
Committee on Ways and Means that 81. zoe, 600
would be all that was necessary, and Mr.. MAY said
the original intention OF the people of the State
TO allow 81 per child per wear for education.
The total number attending school is 10000, aud
the proposition is to allow about Sl2 instead o.
81 He favored reduction in the gilt-edged system
OF the schools, but warm friend of the
common schools as they have. Mr. HENDRICK asked
il the statute does not require 81 per head for ali
the census children, and il they did not number
200 900, and if that did not require 81 400 900? Mr.

down. but believed in passing the item reported.
Mr.. MURPHY opposed raising the figures of
the committee. Mr.. DAGGErT read the law
requi ing 81 per census child to be raised by the
tax or 81, ,495, 900. He believed the sum in the
amendment but Just, and that every dollar of it is
needed. The Superintendent of Schools had said it
was needed. Mr.. EDWARDS propo' ed TO stand by
the report of the committee against the Supern-
tendent Of the department. Mr.. Horn favored a
liberal appropriation, but the Superintendent hav-
ing said 81, ,200, 600 was enough, he yielded. he
believed the department weud not be crippled by
adopting the committee report. Mr. HESpRIcx
favored obeying the statute. He was surprised at
the position of Republicans, they opposing liberal
supplies for education after voting large sums 10
militia. They ought not allow the Democracy to
become the chief advocates Of liberal educational
appropriations. Mr.. WAsoy Of Ventura sad the
people bad year by year increased the amount for
public education. The State began with its tax in
1864 at half mill and has gone until it gave
last year 81 400, 600 1t was not too much. The
people expect the State TO raise about half the
sum needed. San Francisco don't like that policy,
though it has become a settled policy. In thckly-
settled sections less per capita is needed, IN
sparsely populated regions heavy per capita is
necessary IN distribution Of the fund He favored
increasing the sum in the bill by $780, 600. A
p. essure had been brought upon the Superintendent
to get him to certify 81 200, 900 enough, when he
knows it should be l,500, 600 Mr.. SARGEST
favored voting the sum required by law. Mr..
MATHEWS of Tehama favored the amend
ment, and of obeying the law. Mr.. MAY
said he reported 81 200 600 because the head of the
Department said that was enough. Had he asked
for 81, 100000 he'd have reported it. The Demo
Gratis wanted big State tax to gamble on. and
know every 600 put in the bill increases the
tax two cents and is just SO much political capital
Mr.. BAKER of Yolo said the law was not mandatory,
but only fixes maximum sum 10 be raised if nee
essary Mr.. Horn denied that San Francisco ha
failed TO stand up for the people of the State
IN any legislation demanding liberal supplies. Mr.
REYNOLDS held the law TO be mandatory, and imper-
atively requiring tie 81 per capita 10 be raised
the school census basis. The debate was long, and
at times exciting. The House by rs TO 80 refused
to increase the committee figures.
