AUGUSTA, February 21.-The schools
seem to be the great question of the hour
here. When the resolve appropriating
$500 annually for 10 years for Bloomfield
Academy, in Skowhegan, was under dis
cussion in the House the other day, MI.
Bird of Portland, offered an amendment
that the money should be taken from
the mill tax fund instead of from the
general appropriations. The question
was then tabled by, Mr.. Woodbury. of
Deering, and was called up by him to-
day, the discussion turning on the gen
eral question of the propriety of drawing
on the school fund for all appropriation
similar to that for the Bloomfield Acade-
my. incidentally. there was good deal
said about the influence of country boys
in the large towns and cities.
Mr.. Woodbury. called up the matter.
He said that while this proposition en-
tered wedge with q vory thin end into
the existing school system, that wedge
had very thick back. OF course, il the
amendment applied only to the case I'M
