El. Iltirrowes; editor Of the'7"ettnsylvania
&hoot Journal,. lie says; ":They are paid'
out of the general appropriation and not
out i)ttlici share of each particular coun

t.n the subject trill appear in said journal
for March.
NQw most of - tlie trunticit . iire drawiUg

$5OO to the amount prer;ousli paid in
this county, how much will there be taken
frctn our share of the "State appropria
tion to the &heeds?
The whole amount appropaiated to
schools in the State for the year ending
June 6, 1859 was 8186,841 12. Our
county received 8800 20. Now take froin
this whole amount the gum of 8500; and
we would di winish our appropriation abent
two dollO rs fifteen cents and a laaf(s2.ls)
or,• if eyiSaily divided. among One 94
schools, about 23 cents to each school.

the Stare last year,.511,631 80. Should
we take $5OO more Amour Superintendent
we would draw our 830 front the-4io
school of thin county.
The question - now is do we want an
efficient general supervision of the selmuls
of the county. Same will answer by ask
ing what good has the office done us?
We don't see the Superintendent twice a
year. lie don't s-ay in the school over
an hour. It is true we. have (until this
winter) had men in the office whose time
was necessarily touch occupied by other
:natters, and even had this not been the
ease, we have nut allowed the Department
to pay him a talary sufficient to eta/ ,'or,
or expect. a full discharge of the duties
pertaining to the,ollice. '
We CA Mint Tully judge of the fitness Go.
the office of Messrs. Ga ,, e, Pro& or en
drick, by what. we have allowed them to
do, or po AI them for doing. Nor are we
prepared to .decide a! to the merits of this
feature of our school system, till 'we Mit.
aloan to avry'out the roviaiolis of

The' State Superintendent of Illinois .
says.'"PennSylvania has the best system

Now gentlemen Dimietors, 'we ask you
