can see is derived from the coinitiis- i
sinner's annual ollicial visits to the
(iitTerent schools. The school term
being short, it is utterly impossible
for him to visit all the schools in the
county and give them that attention
that would result in any practical
good. So that the practical duties
of the Commissioner are reduced to
approving teachers pav certificates
and tabulating trustees' reports, both
of which could he done by the chair

( 'ng of general importance ha > been

proposed and will come up in the

A law, defining tin* ag"s between
which a person should pay a poll tax,
ought to lie enacted like the Medes
and Persians. More confusion and
anoyance in the tnv detvirf nw.nl ni-o
pr^lnccd I?y the fro<jnoxil changes of
the law ros|?eciting the s*i?"? to which
a person is liable to poll tax than
any other one tiling. Why not
fix the limit at a (Infinite a fro f>0 or
00 years and let it stand permanently?
Comptroller Genoral htonoy,
in his Annual Report, eulls the
General Assembly's attention to this
eonfnsiotf, and says:
'The Supply Acts of 1880 and
1SS1 fixed the limit at sixty years.
The \ets of 188!,! and 188d changed
it to fifty. The Acts of 1881 and
1885 restored the limit to si\t\; and
