SeDJSSt VI nlHn sCnOof fof the city OF w oSnE0Q-
ton The present system, well administered as
Tar as 10 extends, requires a new impulse. Prob
ably one hundred pupils now In our District
Institution at once. On the Installation of The
board Of trustees for the current year the chief
magistrate of the city win bring the project for
ward ana explain ms well-matured views there
upon. That our councils will nobly sustain the
school authorities In an enterprise which secures
such important results to the rising Generation
no one can doubt Let Washington have high
scnooi, ana dozen new. convenient and healthy
houses Tor district and primary schools be erected
In the respective wards of our city-if even the
new streets aud cutters Of many parts Of the city
longer" .r.
We are not among these who would object to
the establishment Of High Schools here, under
more propitious circumstances than now exist;
but at present the contemplation of such pro-
jet is almost absurd. In the first place, we have
hardly half enough Primary and District Schools
for the accommodation Of the children in the
city, and those we have are provided In many
instances, with most miserab BILE accommod atoms
Secondly, IL would not become the Corporation
to provide High School, at which a few chill
dren could obtain good educations when we are
destitute OF the means to give very MANY chill
dren rudimental Instruction, and compelled an
nuai1y 70 turn hundreds away from the doors of
our Primary Schools The injus tice of the con-
templated measure, under sucn circumstances is
obvious. Let measures be adopted first to null
hPiy the Primary and District Schools until all
can DE- accommodated who apply for ad omission
into them, and then II will be time enough to
provide for such as desire to avail themselves of
tue advantages Of High School education at the
public expense.
