OUR SCHOOLS.

The public school system Of Ten
nessee has now been in operation
about twelve years. The original
school law, which has undergone Sc.
we're notifications, was carefully
prepared by experienced educators,
and was modelled afl err the best
State systems then in operation. I'm
der its provisions an admirable sys-
tenn of schools was possible, provid-
ed the necessary means were furnish.
ed for sustaining the schools. Unfort.
unately there has never been furnish
cd enough to give the public school
system a fair test. It was though that
the provision of the law allowing
the counties to supplement the State
tax would have tue effect of stimu-
lsting communities to make gener-
GUS provisions for their schools. A
few counties did make generous ap.
preparations, and were rewarded in
the enjoyment OF successful schools
running through full term. But
these counties were few indeed, and
their liberality of taxation was
maintained OILY through the vigi-
liant Efforts Of the special friends { f
education. Our State school tax,
though it seems to be as much as
the people ere willing to bear. is in
sufficient, in most of the counties, to
maintain even respectable show Of
popular education. The interest on
the school certificates $3.50, 600 per
annum, supplemented by the ten
cents per hundred tax-does not
furnish mears sufficient to sustain a
school for more than three moRths
in the year. In most of the coun.
ties VIC believe two and a hal
months will cover the school period
We are considering Of course. those
counties that have not supplemented
the State tax by special levy, ant
the number of counties that have
made anything like liberal provis
ion are lamentably few. Nor doe
there seem much hope of improve
ment in respect of county apl ropri
ations for school purposes. Tn
limit seems TO have b en- fixed an,
beyond it there is no probable ex
tension. The result is onr publ
schools in many of the counties lac
much of meeting the hopes Of thos
earnest friends of education VIII
