Mitor Ornette:—Tho necessary reenmmendations of two successive grand juries having been secured, an election' on tho question of levy ing a local tax to supplement the state fax for the support of the com mon schools of. the coufity will lie ordered for the first Monday in Jan uary next; and, in order tjiat your renders may bo fully informed in regard to the subject, I herewith en close a copy of the law for pjiblica- lion. The flot'is short, and, I think, fully explains itself, I will add, how ever, that while the law, tf adopted, would authorize tlio Hoard of Edu cation to levy “not exceeding twenty- live cents on the Hundred dollars,” ft it is not their purpose to levy tho full nmomit, but only so much as they think will be required, to pay the teachers in full for tho public term*, and thus make the schools freo in fact as well as in name. Wo now think that not more than half the amount, possibly ten cents on tho hundred dollars, will be required. This amount would not prove bur densome to any ono, but would enn. bio us to greatly improve tlio schools and would certainly prove more sat isfactory than tlio present Inw to nil concerned, as it would place us one step nearer the object toward which we are tvorking, viz.: To place thorough comprehensive common sclinol education within roach of ev ery child in The county, To, secure tiio adoption of tho law two-thirds of tlio registered vote of tlio county must he east tor it; lienee, if our people want it, they must go out ami, vote for it. We think no reasonable objection can bo urged against the measure, but, on the contrary, that it ought to command, anil will eom- umiui, tlio notive support ot evory one who' favors good schools, Thomas K. \VTi,ua!uh. For Information the following gen oral laws relating to tlio common schools are appended; i,o('Ar, Taxation* iiv «ou.ytii:k r<m COMMON SCHOOLS.
