Because it is one of the highest duties of the State to educate its girls, its women. When the mothers of a ueneration are educated, the whole generation will he educa ted. Who ever knew an educa ted mother (im matter how ignorant or worthless the hus band may be) to rai-e ignorant children? Hut with an educated father and an ignorant mother and nine times out of ten it will bti an ignorant child. If we can't educate but one of the sexes ot the present generation, then 1 had rather a dozen times see the girls educated and let the bos root for themselves.

He proposes to do away with the County Board of Education and let our County Commissioners take charge of the business, which we think prudent. Also to do away with the County Superintendent, for he prefers to let the money go to the children, as it is useless to have the County Superinten dent vhdt our schools.

There 's a great deal of unnecessary expense attached. 91,837.02 was expended la t year for tha County Superin tendents, Institutes and for oth er expenses connected,for which the children of the State receiv ed no direct bemfit. and this amount, at regular tuition rates, at a good academy, would send 22,000 children to school four months. But this is not all, you mu't add to this the amount hat actually goes to each school district, both black and white, to see the extent to which we ae taxed to support a system so unsatisfactory to the general ity of the people. Second. Many men pay an enormous school tax who never sent a child to the free schools, and others who never had one to send, but this would be char i table were i t not that i t is equal ly distributed between us and a race thatare ungrateful and bur densome, and who are, as a race, incapable of a high state of de velopment or good citizenship. Third. There is a serious want of restriction on the number ol studies taught. The course is too wide on account of the num ber of pupils in attendance, in stead of ; teaching the primary branches reading spelling and arithmetic, which wis the prime object of tho public schools, these are, to a great extent, neg lected for more advanced stud dies, even soma of the sciences are taught, and in some instan ces biMC-feeeping all to. the neglect of the poor less advanc ed one?, who often recite only three or four recitations a day Fourth.
