tax according to population is not
exactly just, and if not inst legisla-
ton to better it cannot be improper.
Rut with the county it is different.
The county commissioners can in.
crease the county levy for schools,
and though it would increase the
taxes it would pay good interest in
the additional benefit the children
would receive.
If the length of the school term
could not be increased the indebted
ness might in few years be paid,
and the amount, which is considera-
BILE. paid for interest each year could
be applied to better purpose.
1t is not always best to invest in
CHEAP goods. A farm run on cheap
scale does not always pay good
price for the labor expended. Bad
fences and poor soil will draw labor
from the farmer without returning
him an adequate reward. Neither
will such things add value or attrac-
ton to his farm. For the same reas-
ons a State or county cannot afford to
run its business on too cheap a scale.
Bad school houses, short terms of
school, poor or no churches and poor
roads detract from the character of
the State or county, diminish the
value of property and discourage i'm
migration.
While we expect to raise crops next
year and in future years, we also ex-
pect schools. churches and roads in
the future, and provide for them &C.
cordingly. While high taxes are
burdensome it is prudent to have
sufficient amounts for what is really
necessary.
When school houses, churches and
roads are once placed in good condi-
ton, it will then require less to keep
them so, and not until then can we
justly expect a reduction in taxation.

Gen. Crook Believed to be Safe.

Ell PAso, TEXAS, May 27.-The
Times, which has been paying great
attention to Gen. Crooks move
ments, has details from chihuahua.
from Mexican sources, Of a positive
character. Gen. Crooks operations
are now reported to be in the region
Ofthe head waters ofthe Yugin river,
which runs across Sonora and emp.
ties into the Gulf of California. 1t is
very broken and rugged region,
and has long been the Apaches'
refuge. Gen. Crook operates from
the west, or Sonora side of the Sierra
Madre Mountains, and on the Chi
huahua side the Mexican comman-
derS are evidently operating in accord
with plans prearranged with him.
The two forces cannot now be more
than fifty miles apart. Gems. Regard
and Guerra, commanding in Chihua-
hau, feel confident of Gen. c. ook's
safety. One column, 800 strong, is
pushing from the neighborhood of

Crook was reported to be fighting. No

children cannot profitably partake.
Mr.. Davis also showed that the
State has provided annual collegiate
and academical facilities for the graf
uitious instruction of about 100 pupils
"a much greater number than is
likely to averagely seek that sort of
teaching and he argues from that
fact there is no need whatever to
cumber our primary system with
even the smallest amount of the 'olo-
gies. For it is beyond question that
whenever the higher branches -four
ish in primary school it must be
at the expense Of those humber but
more useful studies for which the
schools are instituted. He said that
it would be quite as lawful to teach
dancing in those schools as it is to teach
the many 'ologies and Biographies
that have gained foothold therein.
And Mr.. Davis showed that these
Innovations are costing vast and I'M
necessary expenditure of the peoples
money. The annual cost in Maryland
is 81, $4,000 for public schools or
about nine times the cost of our legis-
lative, executive and judicial depart
ments combined. But if the schools
were restricted to their legal sphere,
the cost thereof would not exceed
81 900, 900, thereby saving enough
money to pay the annual interest on
our State debt.
The matter is one of very grave inn
potance, and we hope the next Leg
islaure will devote to it that consid-
Grafton which it certainly deserves

Messrs. j. HI. Gordon. r. r. Semmes

Public Schools in Maryland.

There is now iii motion powerful
undercurrent of popular dissatisfac.
ton at the alleged acknowledgement
of the Public School system in Mary
land. This undercurrent has been
during several years gaining force,
and it is now being rapidly so formu-
lated that the Legislature will soon
be obliged to take cognizance of it,
and to make an effort to correct the
evils that haye stealthily crept into
the system.
So fer as we understand the drift OF
opinion on the subject, it is to the eff.
feet that the original design as to the
schools was to afford instruction in the
primary branches threading, writing
and arithmetic. But latterly there
has been added to these an extensive
assortment of what are called the
higher education" branches -such as
are expected to be taught in colleges
and universities. And it is claimed
that the teaching those higher branch
es in our public schools has p077'i pasS1l
tendency to diminish the amount OF
lntructiGn in those rudiments of pri-
mary education, for which the schools
were instituted.
The subject has grown to be a very
difficult one; but its Importance far
out weighs its apparent difficulties.
Our boys and girls need to know
reading. writing and arithmetic; and
our school system was originally in
tended for such purpose-nothing
more. But it was conceded that
there be exceptional boys and girls
in the matter of mental capacity and
for such exceptional youth there were
established academies. and there
We're added thereto the facilities of
st. Johns and Washington Colleges.
by such aids it was believed that
Maryland boys and girls of excep-
tlonal talent had all the facilities
needed for the development of their
mental gifts. Now, however, it is
attempted to teach the "higher
branches" in every wayside school :
to the benefit OF no one, and to the
injury OF the large number who are
content to learn the needful rudi-
ments.
1t Is scarcely possible to elaborate

lie spoke in strongest terms of con-

TO 1t attributed the shameful exhibit
OF illiteracy in Maryland as shown
by the last census. He said that
