Conimon Schools of New England.
By the last official returns of the public
schools in the six New England States, the
Whole number of pupils in attendance du
ring the year was 641,983. The whole
cost of instruction fir the year was $2,055,-
131 65. In Vermont, the average cost on
each pupil was $2 22. In Maine, $1 34.
In Connecticut, $1 35. In Rhode Island,
01 94. In Massachusetts, the law requires
each town to raise by lax at least $1 50 per
child between 5 and 15 years of age, as a
condition of receiving a share of the income
of the State School Fund. All the towns
complied with this condition last year, and
ISO towns raised double the sum thus spe
tilled: The amount expended in Massa
chusetts last year, for each child between
the ages above named, was $4 54.
The population of the State of Rhode Is
land exceeds that of the city of Boston, and
yet the latter appropriates about double the
amount of the former for school purposes,
leaving entirely out of the account the cost
of school buildings. For the last ten years,
the average expense of each scholar in the
public schools of Boston has been $lO 59.
In this estimate the cost of schoo'-houses
has been excluded.
•• Connecticut has the largest school fund
of any New England State, the amount be
ing $2,049,482 32. The income last year
was $143,693 09. This State has 1942
school districts, and 75,880 pupils in the
public schools.
In Massachusetts the number of private
schools is reported to be 749, and the re
turns show a decrease of 30 during the year.
The estimated amount paid for tuition in pri
vate schools is $231,907 28. The whole
amount expended in the State on private
and public schools, exclusive of the cost of
tepairing and erecting school edifices, du
ring the year, was $1,315,193 89. Brook
line stands first on the list of towns in re
gard to education, as it raised $llOO for the
public schools, or $l2 38 for the education
of every child within its borders. In New
Ashford, the school tax last year was s7s—
at the rate of $2 08 for each child in
that most rural of rural districts."
In Rhode Island .29.500 pupils attended
the public schools last year. In this State,
each town must raise by tax a sum equal to
forty cents for every person under.ls years.
of age, in order to obtain its share of the
State appropriation. In 1852 every town
raised more than the required sure. The
amount expended for public schools last
year was $115,160 21.
In Nt w Hampshire, the whole amount
- raised for the district schools last year was
$160,925 79. This State has no school
iA,und ; but there is a tax of one-half of.one
, tr cent. upon the bank capital, which is
distributed for school purposes. The num
ber of school districts is reported to be 228.1.
The average 'attendance upon the summer
schools is 41,561 ; in the winter months it
is 55,700. New Hampshire stands at the
bend of State (or the smallest number of na
tive adults who cannot read and write.
Wine has a school fund of upwards.of a
hundred thousand d which is annually
increased by the sale of public lands. Tau
amount of taxes raised the last yi ar of which
we have returns was $27.1,000, or forth•
Leven cents on each inhabitant, or $1 15 un
each scholar. There is also a bank tax which
is appropriated to schools. The State has
4500 school districts. The last reported
attendance upon the public schools in suin
titer was 129,000, and in winter 157,000.
In Vermont the whole expenses ul the
public schoulS were $217,402 92. The
amount paid for teachers was $197,574 68.
In 1850 there were 2594 school districts in
the State. Each district can raise money
by taxation for school purposes.
The laws in the New England States 'in
regard to the public schools are so different,
that no comparison approximating to exact
ness can be instituted respecting them. In
the above abstract, we have only stated a
few of the more prominent and striking
facts which are presented in the last official
returns.—Boston Trans.
Children at School.
'One of our brother editors, who has doubt
less been a teacher in his day, and is now
an affectionate father, reads the following
kind and wholesonw words of advice to pa.
rents who have children at school, which we
copy as he wrote them, believing that we
could not fill the space they accupy to bet
ter advantage--if as good—did we search
through volumes, or puzzle our bruin for
gays. to eke out something "original ;"
"Your little ones are dear toyou;—about
as dear, perhaps, as the apple of your eye.
Their success at school is near your heart.
Of course, you will do nothing to interfere
tvith it. You are anxious to help them
along,—provided helping .them will not too
seriously tax you. You know as well us
we how it can be done efficiently, at cheap
cost,—pardon us for refreshing your knowl
edge on the subject with a few hints. .
"Keep them regularly at school. Ab
sence of a day is bad. They lose one day's
lessons. They drop a Stich by these means..
It deranges the teacher's plans, end makes
it easier for the absence to occur again.—
Beuer spend several . shillings and some
hours, and do the errands yourself, than
keep them at home to run them.
"13i3 sure they are punctual. Ten min
utes in the morning does you no good, and
them much harm. Arrived at the school
room ten minutes too late, they disturb the
punctual, lose an exercise, provoke the
teacher, and cultivate a miserable habit of
procrastination. The matter of habit is the
great objection though. In after years it
sticks to a body like a boy to a runaway
bare-backed horse, and the harder one runs
to be clear of it, the closer it hugs him. .
"They have lessons to learn out of school.
Let it be held a religious duty that they
learn them well. By this the teacher jud

they always go prepared on these home les:
sons, he is .careful that they get well on in
their school lessons. Be feels that he is
watched, he is interested for your children;
and whether he means it or not--knows it
or not—he labors more faithfully for their
advanoement. If the evidences are that
you pay no attention to them at home, he
does his duty Mechanically; and .hopei' for
the best.
Shocking Scene at an Execution.
PHILIPPI, Barbour co., Va., Oct. 2S.
Thomas Board this day expiated, on the
gallows, the crime he committed on the 27th
of February lust, in the murder of his neph
ew, Strickler J. 11. Ohrislipp. aged about
six years. The mental condition of the pri
soner seemed unchanged from the time of
his arrest tip to his execution. If any con
fidence can be placed in his statements, he
died as he lived under the melancholy delu
sion that he .could commit no sin,' and that
it was no 'harm for •hitn . to kill' a hundred
men.' He was about 26 years of age, of
medium size, and weighed, perhaps, one
hundred and fifty pounds. Ile greW up in
ignorance, weakness and idleness; an object
of pity to all who closely observed him.
An application, sustained by our most in
fluential citizens, was made to Governor
Johnson for a commutation of his punish
ment to that of imprisonment far life, but af
ter long deliberation, he decided not to in
terfere, stating 'that the law would have to
take its course.'
By daybreak, the people began to assem
ble, and notwithstanding it tamed all day,
not less than five or six thousand persons,
among whom were not less than 'five hun

And Newspaper for the People.
It will be seen by. the annexed extract
from a letter of General Washington to Da
vid Stewart, dated New York, 17th March,
1780, that the idea of such a paper as [ pro
pose to make the Globe originated in the
mind of the Father of his country. He said:
.4t is to be lamented that the editors of
the different Gazettes in the Union do not
more generally and more correctly (instead
of stuffing "their papers with scurrillity and
nonsensical declamation, which few would
read if they were apprised of the contents)
publish the debates in Congress on all great .
national questions. The principles upon
which the difference of opinions arises, as
well as the decisions would then come fully
before the public, and afford the best data
for its joidgement.—oS'park's Writings I

Tut: DAILY GLOBE
AND THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOGID.
In surrendering my interest in the organ
of a great political party, I cherished the
purpose of continuing the Congressional
Globe, and, if possible, in time, to perfect it
into a full history of the action of Congress
giving the debates accurately and fully with
the perceedings—all stamped with the veri
ty of an official record. From the passage
in the letter of General Washington, which
I have quoted. will be preccived that he
thought this office might be combined with
that of a regular newspaper; and it is cer
tain that the avidity of the public for news
of the less important kind greatly contribu
tes to give wings to the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of per
fecting the reportes of the debates in Con
gress and giving them the official stamp, I
now propose to send them abroad, in con
nection with the news of the day, in such
haste es shall outstrip full and accurate in•
telliaence sent from the. seat of Government
in any other form whatever. It will even
anticipate the scraps of news forwarded to.
cities within two hundred at fifty miles of
Washington by telegraph. Before the events
thus transmitted are published in the morn
ing papers (for instance. of the city of New .
York,) the Globe containing them will have
reached the post office of that city by the'
Express Mail of the previous night. The
process by which this will be effected I now
'lay before the public.
I will have a corpse of sixteen Reporters
in Congress ; each in succession will take
notes during five minutes, then retire, pre- -
pare them for the Press put them sliphy
slip in the hands of compositors, and thus
while a debate is going on in Congress, it
will be put in type, and in a few minutes
'after it is ended it will be in print. r shall
by this means be enabled to send by the Ex-o
press Mail of 5 o'clock p. m. for the East,
West and North, and by that of 6 o'clock
p. in. for the South, all the proceedingS of
Congress up to the ordinary hour of adjourn- -
Lrient. Thus the accurate debates of Con
gress will reach the cities two hundred and
fifty miles from the Capitol before their dai.
ly morning papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news I shall be care,
ful to gather from remote sections of the
country by telegraph. I will obtain front
lie Exclusive Departments, through' official
sources, the matters of moment transacted
in them, and, through agents employed fot
the purpose all the city news of conse
quence in sufficient time to be put into the
Globe and mailed in the Express Mail train,
In this way I hope to create a new' era in
the dissemination of news from Washing
ton. Hitherto no newspaper has attem'pted
to give authentic accounts of things done at
Washington before the public mind at a disl
tance had received its first impressions from
irresponsible telegraphic dispatches or by
letter-writers biased by peculiar views.
As I sell the DAILY GLOBE at halfthe
price of similar pnblications, so the Cora,
ORESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX is sold for
half the cost of so much composition, press
work and paper. This I can afford to do,
inasmuch as the subscription, of Congress
almost covers the cost of composition, and
this enables me to sell for little more than
the cost of presswork and. paper. It re
quires the sale of about 0,000 copies to te,
imburse expenses. If 500 only were sold,
the cost of each copy wpuld be about $104!
The debates in the English Parliament cost
about eleven times as much as I charge sub
scribers for the debates in Congress equal in
quantity, and as well reported and printed.
The next session of Congress will be a
long one; and it is believed the Congrssion
al Globe for it will reach 4,000 royal quarto
pages as the last long session made 3,842;
and the long.one before that made 3,001,
royal quarto pages—four large volums each
session. If subscribers will be careful to
file all the nunibers
.received by them, I will
supply any that may mis-carry in the mails.
This work ...increases in value as it grows
old. The first seventeen .volumes will now
