ing lotteries for the benefit OF the
public schools were passed by Congress

funds. the interest on which was ap-
piled 10 the support Of the schools
until Congress in 1873 began to make
appropriations for the schools without
reference TO the school fund.
A Serious Obstacle.
A far more serious obstacle TO the
growth Of the common school during
these earlier years lay in the general
acceptance of the idea that a public
school is of necessity a pauper school
Color was given to this notion by a
provision Of the organic act TO the ef-
feet that poor children should be
taught reading. writing. and grammar"
the pay scholars being favored with ad J.
ditional instruction in geography and
Latin.
A rule made IL 1881 affords an excel
lent illustration OF the tendency TO ex-
clude from the benefits of the public
school OF that day children whose par
ents were supposed TO be able to pay
for their education. 1t contained the
astonishing provision that no scholar
should be continued in the school. the
income OF whose parents exceeded the
sum of $50 a day excepting where
there were more than four children IN
the family
The period between 1860 and 1885 marks
the first pronounced development OF the
schools into the fiourishing institutions
of today. and the overcoming Of the
idea Of public schools institutions
for the education OF paupers. II is
as 1873 that the first normal school was
established. and a high school was un-
known until 1870. Then after the change
OF the current Of feeling toward the
public school matters advanced with
stupendous strides. but the real growth
is comparatively recent.

Growth Retarded
During the first forty years of the
existence of the public school system
although many Of the best citizens
were enlisted in their management
growth was retarded by the want OF
proper provision for their support
The act OF 1904 gave them the yearly
sum of 81 500 from the proceeds of
taxes laid on slaves, dogs, licenses
