There will be over 5000 different

Proposed Educational Laws.

Superintendent OF Public In
struction D. NJ. Geeting is having a
bill prepared for introduction in the
coming legislature increasing the
state school levy from IL cents to
16 cents on each 800. A bill with
the same pr ovision was introduced
in the last legislature and defeated.
"The school system is a state in
stituiion anG therefore it should be
sufficiently provided for by the
state" says Mr.. Geeting. "The
custom of local levies for tuition
purposes should be done away with
entirely, and the state levy increased
sufficiently to support all OF the
schools on the same basis. There
is no truer adage than that the en-
tire wealth of the state should be
used for The education of all of the
children Of the state. I"
State Superintendent Geeting is
the father Of another bill relating to
a proposed important reform in the
state school system. This bill he
hopes also to see become law by
virtue of action Of the coming legis-
latnre. This bill will make Ii
cense to teach school obtained in
one county in the state good in
every county, and will require that
examination papers OF applicants
for license shall be graded by CEN
trail state board appointed by the
state superintendent, who shall be
responsible for his selections, in
stead of by the county superintend-
ent. The examination, according
to the plan to be proposed by Mr..
Geeting, would partake of all the es-
sential characteristics Of a civil SER
vice examination. The proposition
to make license obtained in one
county good in every other county
in the state is very generally and
enthusiastically contended tor by
school teachers.-Ev. Courier.

THAT INVESTIGATION.

II any one has doubt Of the char
acter and intention Of the Presi-
dents War Commission, surely il
must be dispelled by the proceed
ings already reported. Generals
Dodge and Beaver and DR.. Conner
have clearly showed their animus
and foreshadowed their report.
Every question they have asked has
contained very clear and emphatic
| hint as to the answer they desired
and expected. "Could all the
medical men and all the medicines
lin the world, in your opinion" was
asked Gen. Wheeler, shave pre-.
vented the outbreak Of sickness at
Santiago?"
! OF course not; but the alleged oh
Iject Of appointing the commission
was to ascertain whether that sick
ness was not increased and the suf
fering Of the wounded greatly aug
mented by the most outra geous neg
lect and incompetency.
The same inquiry should be made
in regard to the treatment OF thu
troops in the various camps. Tn
investigation thus far has not touch
8 ed the main issue, and it is eviden
that the commissioners do not in
tend to touch it if it can be avoided
Any report the commission ma
/. make will not be worth what tn
