WHERE WILL THE
COIN COME FROM?
School Fund Commission Have a
Variety of Plans to Put
Before Public.

The school fund commission is hard
on the trail of scheme to relieve the
financial stringency in the department
of public instruction, although as yet
the scheme is intangible and not ex-
pected to materialize until the whole
subject has been gone into thoroughly,
the schemes of other places considered
in the light of local conditions, the
people heard from in the matter Of a
specific tax and the whole matter, IN
fact, submitted to the crucIble of time
and reflection.
The more the commissioners study up
on school conditions here the more they
learn that there will have to be some
more money for them. The question
is. how to get it. What they are turn
inc over in their minds at present IS
che question as to whether a part of
the school money should be raised as
a specific tax in addition to the present
taxes raised. or whether definite pro-
portion of the taxes raised at present
should be diverted to specific school
fund. What they are anxious to learn
IS whether the people of the Territory
viii be willing 10 pay more taxes and
have the extra for the schools. They
viii welcome any suggestion or com
ment from anyone.
As a matter of fact, in spite of their
efforts, they have not as yet been able
TO interest the public, even when they
talk of higher taxes. With the matter
of school funds the people are the same
as they are with the matter of water.
In the latter case, as long as their
water tap runs they refuse to consider
any question of spending more money
on the water system. but when the
supply runs out. no matter how useless
their kicks and how untimely, they I'M
modatelv raise a chorus of criticism.
With the schools, SO long as things seem
to be going right they decline to wor-
~ over any extra taxes that are not
Vet imposed. reserving their protests
and suggestions until the collector
comes around.
How Other Places Do.
Yesterday the commission issued a
statement of their findings along the
line of revenue plans in vogue else
where. This statement is:
The general plan throughout the

Records of deeds.
Military communication.
Taxes on certain animals.
Inspection of oils.
Hire Of convicts
Lease of oyster lands.
Cruelty to animals.
And besides this long array num-
Der of others are made tributary to
education.
Thus last year New York received
from sources other than taxes, the large
sum of ST. 1858, 1858.
The review brings out several prin-
ciples that must be important to educa-
tional systems in any age or country
some of which are the following:

can push forward, and thus lead on all
the rest.
Personal Contribution and Initiative.
In every great movement particular
individuals are moved to give personal
assistance, or even to add new facili-
ties. This is notably true in matters of
education, and even in connection with
our public school systems. We must
invite the gifts Of those who wish to
give. We should not beg, but we should
afford the opportunity. And this is
readily done by the principle of in
volatility. Let our permanent fund be
really permanent Let the private citi-
zen know that he can add to the vol
ume of that fund through the fastening
years. Let him even add a new endow-
ment, pension that viii endure long
after he himself has gone. Thus pri-
vate benefcence will in time greatly
expand our public resources.

COLDS ARE DANGEROUS.

IF more people would make an at
tempt to get rid of the colds from
which they are suffering, as result
of this changeable weather, there would
be a decided decrease in the number
of cases of pneumonia. A few doses
of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy will
cure your cold, and all danger of its
hanging on until spring and resulting
in pneumonia may be avoided. For

Principle Of Stability.

This is particularly important in our
conduct of the schools. For instance, a
t1uctuating wage is disastrous. A lib
eral wage, even, if paid on squirt, is
liable to be partly a waste. Now the
needed stability, as wrought out by
American experience through more
than a century, is promoted in two
ways: By the permanent fund, and by
the specific tax, or by the levying of
general tax in such view of specific
needs. as will afford safeguard against
violent fluctuations.
The lawmaking power is always in
control. because the legislature can
amend at its viii or make further provi.
sion. But these general plans even
though not incorporated into the con-
stitution of the State or the Organic
Act of the Territory. but only enacted
by the legislature into operative laws
do actually secure fair degree of stab
ility. And this stability can hardly be
secured under the plan of an annual or
biennial appropriation of lump sum
by the legislature for all the schools.

Local Flexibility and Adaptation.

This is coming to be understood the
world over in every department of
human interest. 1t constitutes one chief
excellence of our American scheme of
government: and it must assuredly have
place among our schools. Throughout
The country it is very largely and effec-
lively secured by allowing counties and
school districts a reasonable option.

Principle of Inviolability.

This IS secured by such statutory ex-
pressions as " securely invested and in
violably preserved, ;" forever invioIate
and intact" by which, and similar ex
pressions, the majesty of the law makes
sacred those funds which are in perpe-
tuitv devoted to the instruction of the
youth. So important is this principle
of inviolability, that probably no school
revenue system in the world can reach
the highest degree of efficiency without
its practical and benefeent workings.
