The State Constitution imposes upon the (ion oral Assembly tho duty of providing "for tlx' main tenance and support of a thorough and sufficient system of public schools, wherein all the children of the Commonwealth above the age of six years may be educated." To this end it is further provided that at least one million dollars each year shall be appropriated for the purpose out of the State funds. The General Assembly has of late years far exceeded the mini mum of aid for the schools made imperative by the Constitution. About six million dollars are now contributed by the State toward defraying the expenses of the com mon school, but this is only about one-fourth of the aggregate of year ly expense. About 618,000,000 is raised by direct local taxation. The school tax is perhaps the heav iest direct burden borne by the taxpayers of the Commonwealth. The willingness evinced by suc ceeding Legislatures to shift a larger and larger proportion of the burden of school support upon the general revenues of the State has been notable. The State revenues were so excessive that the diversion was no less feasible than popular. But appetite grows by what it feeds upon. Some of the grangers in Bradford county and other parts of the State are organizing "Free School Clubs," whose aim is to abolish the direct school tax and put tho whole burden upon the shoulders of the State. This scheme is full of taking possibilities. It would require the collection pf about $18,000,000 ad ditional State revenues. The grangers urge that the corporations are fat and prosperous, and can easily be made to come down with the necessary cash. They take no note of the fact that the public service corporations are themseves experts in theart of taxation. For every dollar they pay to the State they are sure to add a dollar, with use, to the tolls exacted from their customers. It is the vice of in direct taxation that, like the vam pire. it sucks the blood of its vic tims without their knowledge. The farmers who shift their burden upon the corporations will never suspect the share of it they are made to pay back. They have been educated to believe, as a re sult of the policy adopted by the State in abolishing direct State taxes, that they have been relieved of anv share of the cost of carrying on the State government. They are quite logical in desiring an ex tension of the policy. This new movement is interest ing. If it shall gain headway it will clash with tire other granger movement to direct about $4,000,- 000 of the State revenue from per sonal property taxes and licenses to the County Treasuries. It would also bo likely to halt the proposed payment of millions of dollars to the improvement of the roads. But sufficient unto the day is the working out of the tax problem. It is the riddle of the ages.—Philadelphia Record. Fred Bliss Practical Painter. It's sound sense that wo tell you. Your work costs less dollars and is best every time you use the L. & M. Paint.

This record is not us good as it should be, though it is better than the corres ponding month last year, except in a few depart ments. The final reviews are now in progress to be followed soon by final examinations, and yet some parents seem indifferent absut the attend ance of their children. The term has been much broken on account of sickness. Let all pupils take advantage of what still remains. A four months vacation will follow which is so long that no real excuse exists for keeping children from school while it lasts. EDWARDS. LING, Principal.
