TIHE PUBLIC 8HIIOOLS. A Circular from Superintendent Thompson. Captain Thompson has issued the following circular letter to the school commissioners of the sovoral ounties. Their attention is par :icularly directed to the third aragraph )FFICE OF STATE SUP'T. OF EDUC'N., COLUMBIA, S. C., March 27, 1878. To the School Comnmissioner of County: Sin : The act to amend the school aw, passed at the recent session of he Legislature, will be printed as ;peedily as possible and copies will )O furnished tho several county school commissioners. It will not >e possible in a circular to indicate he changes of the law. No altera ions have, however, been made vhich will interfere with the man. igement of the free public schools low in operation. The law pro rides that the school commissioners ball be paid out of the school fund n the respective counties. The ;alaries for this year cannot, there ore, be paid until the taxes are :ollected. In answer to many inquiries on his subject, I would state that, no set has been passed to prohibit 'ounty school commissioners from pproving teachers' pay certificates t the expiration of each month, as ow provided by law. I would advise you to urge the eachers in your county not to sell their certificates for less than their ace value. As soon as the taxes Wr collected the teachers will be aid in full for all work done during his fiscal year, if the boards of trus. ;ces have observed the caution given n my circular of December 24th, l877, and have not made contracts n excess of the School Fund. I sould request that you make every >ossible effort to secure the teachers igain,t loss by advising them to iold their certificates until they can 3e paid at the County Treasury. Acts have been passed authorizing ~ho levying of a special tax to p-iy afst due claims in sev'eral counties >f the State, but no general law on his subject has been enacted. Act ~o. 4165, to provide for the pay. nent of the p2st due sch~ool claims, ippr'oved March 3, 1874, has ba n epealed, and a joint resoluti n ns bel)en passe~d, directing trat LIl 1nexpended balances of il:e' School Fund shlall be applied to meet the school expenses of this fiscal year, except in thlose counties n whIich tile payment of past due school claims has been provided for by special acts. I would advise that no furthuer p)ayments, except for school claims >f the current year, be made until you can obtain a copy of the acte passed by the Legislature at its last session.
