PrB1rc SCHOOLS AND CHOLERA HosPIThLs-
The Sanitary Committee Of our inestima able Corpo-
ration having taken one Of the largest Ward Schools Of
our City tor Cholera Hospital, and being on the look
out for other schoolHouses 70 be converted 70 me
ssrn u.e the Board Of school Comm ~ their
last meeting unanimously demonstrated against this
terve rson past and future. The Sanitary gentlemen
have responded in a eport to tie Common Council
defending their course and nima,ing that they intend
to 20 ahead in Their principal reasons are as folio"
Suitable buildings for Cholera Hospitals other than
School Houses are obtained with difficulty, and q,
heavy cost
2 The Schools ere 10 have months vacation IN Az
gust, and n will only be taxing another month 70 &c.
quester itcm % Cholera purposes now;
g. The schoolIou-es are very convenient and com
handing for Hosp.tsls
T. Inc City is badly in debt her expenses are run
ming up annually the Cholera viii make heavy extra
bin any how, and economy must be studied as far as
possible.
s. Its doubtful whether the children might not bet
Ter 10 kept At home in seasons Of epidemic IKE the
present
TO these reasons fairly condemned from the san'
tsry Report we answer
l. Hundreds Of new buildings are going up all over
the City while many old ones are doomed 70 be speeoy
taken down and their use In the Summer months can
not be worth great deal II the Committee had wide
" advertised for suitable buildings they might have
obtained them for three months Of reasonable rent
This taking Of the school Houses by the arbitrary
novyer Of a body wholly unconnected with theiE man
,yement causes great mischief 1t the first place a.
the salaries Of Teachers &c mus, be paid the same IS
if they were in operation, amounting TO some sSJO per
month for an average school and the children tnas
driven out in juno and July have no assurance and can
bsve none that they will be taken back early ss the
l,t Of September The probability Is quite the oile'
Uav. Here is arrangement Of the entire Education
OF machinery Of the City
3 The Schools will be permanently injured BY this
appropriation It will be difficult to cleanse them
thoroughly after the Cholers shall have sbated while
the fact that they have been go perverted VIII connect
with them ideas Of pestilonce and death, most unfsvor
able to the feelings with which the children shoud re-
gard them Many children now driven out TO ldleness
and yaerancy Will not be easily brought back again.
T. Economy is an excellent thing but saving the
rent Of building by turning five hundred TO thousand
children out of school and paying their teachers sal
aries Tor nothing strikes us not the genuine article
and
their health in school than if dismissed TO the street
while the stopping of part Of the Schools will nev-
tsby crowd others with chance scholars, creating the
very predlspos,on to peslence which the Committee
deprecate.
Our readers have now both sides o. the story De-
fore them, and must Judge between them.
