TThe Boston Mail of Tuesday has

pThe Boston Mail Of Tuesday has
an excellent article on the Public Schools
s that city, and the practice OF at
tempting to educate boys in many Of the
higher brapches, while some Of the sim
pier, more useful and practical kinds are
sadly neglected. 1t says
Alter Mr.. Mann had electrified the
State, and had gotten up an Education
al Revival in the State, the Indignation
of our citizens at the manifest inferiori-
ty OF most of our Common Schoolmas-
ters, became 90 great that the masters
hac to begin to study in order TO avoid
beng turned out en- masse- Then came
the days Of forced rivalry-bitter feeling
and universal humbug-the days when
men who never understood English
Grammar and who obtained places by
favoritism though incapable oi explain
ing an example in vulgar fractions, pre-
tended to teach PhysIoiogy to girls of
ten years old, and algebra TO boys who
were ignorant Of long division |! A good
many Of the old stock yet remain on
hand, imbued with the old feeling--full
Of the old humbug--and laboring under
the old incapaci,y. ....
Again it says,
A little plain talk on this subject can
surely do no harm. We pay vast sums
Of money every year for our Grammar
h.ols-suTely we are entitled to have
the worth Of u. But do we have the
worth Of it7 No, Nothing like il. We
brag about our children's advantages
every year--and yet when we ask one
Of them who has been examined in AL
zebra and Physiology TO write us a
letter from the country we find the said
letter swarming with errors ofgrammar
and spelling! We find our model schot-
are going to the High School for exam
inatiOn-and find every other one re-
jected as knowing "nothing." And we
may be sure that they know "nothing'
if the teachers Of the High School say
so--for about that school there Is no
humbug. Last year one hundred ap-
pllcants appeared-ol whom GO were
rfjected. This year there was simi-
lar result with an additional display Of
ignorance and incompetency on the part
oi those who had been recommended by
the Grammar Masters. Now this may
be accounted for IN three ways.
AL these remarks are very just
During the last two years We have
heard many complaints in regard to
scholars from our Public Schools after
leaving School and entering stores,
n number have been found sadly def
cient IN writing and spelling. Now If
the time which IL devoted TO Singing,
for instance, was occupied by writing, il
would bo much better. IL is n matter Of
no importance as TO whether boys know
how to sing at best, they learn but lit
tie in this department, and whateve,
knowledge they may obtain, Of this kind,
will be Of no practical benefit. Let
sing ing he abolished, and the time oc-
cupied in more useful and valuable pur-
suits, and then our Public Schools will
send forth better scholars, who will be
more appropriately qualified for wha,ev-
er business they may undertake.
