Description:Excerpt from Speech of Hiram Ketchum, Esq., Before the Board of Education, in Behalf of the Public School Society: In Reply to a Report of a Committee of Said Board But it is said the act of 1844, besides the fund composed of the school moneys, and the equivalent tax raised in the city, and the farther tax of one 8oth of one per cent., to be applied exclu sively to the purposes of common schools, provides a mode, in the same section 5, for raising and collecting an additional sum for erecting, purchasing or leasing school houses, and procuring sites therefor, and the fitting up thereof. Now, because the objects last specified are specially provided for in the act, it is said they cannot be embraced in the provisions for creating the other fund, although the terms of those provisions are sufficiently comprehensive to em brace the same objects. With great respect, I deny this conclu sion; it is unsound and illogical. The additional provision for raising money, for some of the purposes of common schools, shows that, in the judgment of the Legislature, more funds were required for these purposes, but it by no means proves that the same pur poses were not comprehended under the general expression, pur. Poses of common schools. The new system required new hopses, and it demanded more aid for this purpose than could be supplied by the fund as formerly constituted. To supply houses, therefore, for this new system, required an additional source of revenue; but the Opening of that source did not change the character of the old fountain of supply that remains as before. Under the act of 1844, then, the Board of Education receives the school money it apportions it among the schools and societies mentioned in the act, to be by them applied to the purposes of common schools in the city of N ew-york. The purposes of com mon schools have been defined by established usage. What these purposes are, is settled by approved custom. Among others, they are the payment of teachers' salaries, the purchase of stationery, fuel, and school furniture, the hiring of rooms, and the erection of buildings for schools.
