THE New YORK FREE AcADEMY.-The Senate
has passed the bill authorizing the Board of Edu-
cation in New York to establish free academy,
for the benefit of boys taught in the free schools
of this city.
The bill limits the amount to be expended for
the erection of buildings and the support of the
academy, and the bill is to be voted on by the
people at the school election in June next. If
majority of votes are cast in favor of the bill,
then the poor boys, educated in our free schools,
will have an opportunity of obtaining better
education than is now given in the public schools.
This will enable us to favorably compare our
school system with that of Boston, Albany, Phi
ladephia and Baltimore.
