i i V r T I TE ECONOMIST rruusnx rrrsr fkidat. R,B. CRtror Editor E. F. Himd..... Business Manager FRIDAY, APRIL 2nd. 1S97. THE NEW PUBUC SCHOOL LAV. Abridged fom the RalelgH News t Observer. 1st. It provides for a. State Board of School Examiners consisting of three professional teachers to be appointed by thi State Board of Education. They meet upon the call of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, who is an rx-oflicio chairman (of the board of ex aminers, and their duties are to prepanf courses of reading and professional study for teacher, and to outline meth ods of teaching and school gov ernment. They are further empowered to prepare annually a set of examination questions to be submitted to the county supervisor of schools in each county on; the second. Thursday in July of -each year, and tvach- . ers passing a' satisfactory ex amination are granted a life certificate, by the State Board of Examiners but said certifi cates are to be renewed every five-yea rsf by the said board, provided ihe teacher makes an allidavit hat he has been ac tually I engaged in teaching since receiving said certificate. id. It abolishes the oflice of count v examiner and re-est'ab-lishes county boards of educa tion, and gives them the power, together with the clerk of the court and the register of deeds, to elect al county supervisor of schools. ; The- duties of tin count v supervisor are to exam ine teachers, to sign all orders drnwn ii t inn the school fund of . 1 tli rnimtv. to suncrvise the schools of the county, and to be secretarv, of the county board of education. :iiL-It reouires the county board f education to dividt the county into as many school districts ae there are township; in saul t-punty, but allows a? manv school houses in eacli district as may be necessary for the accommodation of botl races. provided a greater nil m her of. sihools are not estnb lished than will. give, to ea :1 district an -average of fewer than sixtv-tive pupils. Ith. it'abovishes all public school committees for each race as now provided by law, and provides ' instead for the .ap pointment, bv the county board . of edueatioo, of five .intelligent. business men favoralle to pub lie education, who are to act a; school committeemen for both races in each township district, ."th. It requires the school fund of each county to be ap portioned to 'each district per capita, and the committee art then to reapportion tlrts sum to the' various schools. . white and colored, in their district, so that each school shall have the same length of school term; 'but in making said apportion ment the,committee are to have proper regard for the grade of work to be done and -the quali fications j of the teachers in" each school, white' and col ored, in the district. . The most desirable features . of the bill arethat it establishes the township system and there by abolishes weak districts. It guards 1 "against the appoint ment of . Ignorant and incom petent colored or white teach ers, thereby .lengthening, the school "term, by properly ad justing tfie salaries of 'Alio teachers tb tho grade of work required in the school. 1 WANTED.- 3S ls honest ainl 'of gootl retxrt, witli at least n imutnoa 'school education to enter an honorable and profitable employment Must not be afrahl or aahaiued of york.- Appijjat thisofllce. ; ; THE NEW TARIFF LAW. ' ' 1 ' , ilr. Mclyinlcr seems to be a inild-inanu'ereJ man,-but he is evidently kvetlded to the tariir law upon which he engrafted himselfiin the affections of the banker- and multi-millionaires. That law was once repudiated by the people, ana tne iw?puu- lican pnrtv,'which was ldenti- fied with a protective tarilT which burdened' the producing classes and enriched the weal thv classes who were benefitted by the imposition of import duties, was hurled from power for the: time and reinstated by the unwise management of the Democratic leaders and the un fortunate divisions in the Dem ocratic ranks. Benton McMillin, of Tennes see, delivered a speech on the Tariff in the House of Repre sentative on Friday that we re gard as one of the best speeches that has been made during this extra session of Congress. He regards the call of the extra session as unnecessary, and the Dingier tarifT bill that has bt-en introduced as unwise, burden some and extravagant. Hear hiih: j ; . Thert t now In th Treasury $218,- 000,000 surplus, or .ll.tMMu0 in excess uf all outstanding' oohatiou ana ine hundred million gold re?ervr. This i rnirt tli. in enough to meet all estimat ed ileticit-nciess irior to June, 1309 There i fi war to tret this money back into circulation except thi?, u less we do it by 'buying our bonds at a pre mium. With a reiival of hunnew it will b found that no general increase t f UrilT taxes i" rrouired. Then why all this mad rnsh to in erae taxes? WJiv this irot haste to reirr.pu.t burdens ? Are you not eon tent with the too high rates already xistingjon many thing? and the ex ceive nmnler of thing taxed ? 3Ir. Clmirmnn, if It were in my pow- r. I would Mon thi- infamous measure here and now. I Applause on the Democratic hide. And I would stay her until the dog days, if by so doing I .could prevent its ever pacing the House of Representatives, and would do a patriotic work in so doing." Iii all tariff taxes it has been claimed that luxuries were niqdc to bear the burdens of the tarilf, and jt is so claimed by the advocates of the Dingley liill now under discussion in now Congress, words from that subject: Listen to a few Mr. McMillin on "Tin" trntlemnn.lroiii Maine tohl us in the mieninc ptvech that Ihe in 1 tlulus in tliln bill hail been mainly ! luxuries.
