o, 80 mental and oppressive q. that 10 which they are


An interesting question involved in this mechanical
progr s-ion, wholly passed over by the lecturer,
viz: the relation OF employer and employed in the
gigantic workshops OF England and other countries Of
Europe. Are the poor in better condition for the
acquisition Of competence OF are they more Deepen
den, the capitalist than formerly and If so, what
!. IN, remedy "a be looked "a OF course could not
be expected that the lecturer should 20 deeply mo
the details of question in political economy; yet this
i. one that vitality concerns the wellbeing OF human
society in its most developed state that the discussion
of th. wisdom OF God IN the constitution of that
c;stv can hardly be considered complete without an
attempt at the solution OF the difficulty.
Passing over many other topics, shall notice but
one Intellectual production is not measured by books.
In the confluence Of human society there Is duly
uroduced than contained in any library in the world,
and this pr, luCtiOn Is in proportion 10 the advance OF
social refinement ard freedom Of intercourse. Genius
il called forth by the honors which society ready Ia
b,stow and the character u that genius will be deter
mined BY public taste proud arlstocracy, Ike that
Of BGotia or England. viii be likely to hav Q Pndar
or Sir Walter Scott. When the .ithenians had dis
placed woman from her proper position in society, an
arisophanes arose to please the popuace with his OBJ
scene scurrlity and when people shall be pleased
with comic satire, Menander Thackeray will not
be wanting.
do not assent to the uxtapositon of the two last
named Mr.. Thackeray although not offensive in
LANGUAGE vet in his undscrminating satire OF all that
the world has respect for, and especially his utter
.kepticsm TO female virtue, deserves rather "a be
ranked with the irreverent Arstophanes than the
cbaste Menander.
That great men are often called forth by great emer
ceucies is undoubtedly true, but do not think il
be- proved that they appear only in what seem to us
IN be great crises. am inclined TO believe in the
theory Of Guizot who held that great men produced
great events rather than We're produced by them.
Charemagne and Alfred were endowed a. II for the
very purpose Of raising their respective nations from
bsrbari.in though believe they accomplished 1t by
tb;r he and grandeur of soul rather than by the
study OF Latin as related of Alfred, or of Greek as
i related If Charemagne But doubt the tradition.
II. as we have good authority for snpposing, Charlie
imagine could not write his name, he would not have
been likely to study Greek in his old age.
II would take quite too much space were TO refer
10 all that was worthy of notice in this exceedingly
rich DISCOURSE and the lecturer will trust, not be
dispeased to know that it was enjoyed with dserm-
mating zest by those who beard it, rather than undls
tnguishing admiration. d.

STUDY OUT Or SCHOOL.

To the Editor Of The n. Y Tribune
SIR: The Report of the City Superintendent OF Com
mon Schools just submitted to the Board OF Education
contains some structures the excessive amount OF
application demanded Of pupils in the schools which
claim equally the attention Of the Board of Educa-
ton, the teachers, the press and the public
The City Superintendent is quite right IN say
ing that the course of study needs careful
revision. There is great deal oil latitude
allowed TO teachers by the pres, course of study in
the manual. gTeaj deal too much, indeed, ~ Is
shown BY the very silly that schools seemto
make Of their privilege The efficiency OF the Assist
ant Superintendent has done great deal TO remedy
this msused liberty, by limiting his eXannaponS 10
the more important branches OF common schooi
education, and thus compelling the schools which
dealt in the fancy branches 10 bring IN their
scattered forces to work on narrower base.
Practically then, the evil is not 80 great a the SUI
nrrintcudcii would seem 10 publ'h, for, under the
:, stem of marking adopted by his department, any
tachcr whose work il TO be tired by careful exam
nation and graded in way to atfe0 ms reputation,
will when his time is limited, be compelled by neces-
sity TO neglect the hearing OF Lessons wien are ho'
essential 10 the grade and character OF the School
There cau be doubt, however, that the con 5" OF
study can ard ought he at arranged on acieay
defined basis. This would be fair TO all parties -.
80 much being allowed 10 the City superintendent
complaint il does not appear to be quite so easy 10
what he desires to remedy III the matter OF Excess
sive study-and still leSs what remedies he pro-
pyes. Ii is customary to assume that pupils are kept
at their full stretch Tor six hours in schoOl-that
from a. III. till 3p q. theoretically, this IS the
case But on looking carefully into the manage
ent OF the Schools find nearly one hour set apart
lor rcceSses, and thirtyfvc minutes occupied by the
opening and closing exercises OF the School. Indeed,
On careful investigation it will be found fair to assume
tI8I one hour and haff is spent by tine pupils each
Gay IN mental or physical enioymelt-the very oppo-
sfe OF close application. We have, then, say, at
hps' iour and half hours day left for the cntre
Instruction q. the sChoul.ronrn nj half
hours are irrther broken into by the hours set apart
on certain days during the week for practice ia vocal
music, Which, by most writers education il consl-
cred to be most soothing exercise for children and
certainly the very opposite cf close app ca,ion In
many schools the time occupied il a. much : two
hours per week. Then there are drawing ar. pen
manshi p--rearly ncchen.eal exercises not pressing
very heavily the brain, aud considered very peas,
art interudes by the boys themselves. For te.c ex
erciss get apart three hours per week Adding these
three hours 10 the tw above mentioned we have
hours per week, or an average OF one hour day 10
he deducted from the foar and ha for css instruc-
ton, and there remain just th,ee hca'e and ha.i

SPOTS ON THE Sun.

To the Editor Of The y. Y. tribune
SIR: noticed in your last Saturday issue para
Graph from The Charleston Courier, describing a
large spot on the sun, the lith of December
spot of nearly the same size was visible yesterday
january lO and from its position it may possibly be
the ZANE one observed by the correspondent OF 1He
Courier As the makes its apparent axia revolu-
ton in about y days. the spot of December II has
had lust time to return TO the same place in which It
was first seen. The suns disc on the afternoon OF
Sunday, January TO- viewed with 3 feet achromatic
telescope with magnifying power of l2O, appeared
perfectly clear except in the southwestern quadrant
Which was diversified by fifteen or twenty spots,
mostly small arranged in clusters, and as usual, sur
rounded by ova-shaped penumbras One OF the spots,
however was unusually large, being about 3o,ooo
miles in length, by $1,000 miles in breadth. Ii con-
sisted of rianGularshnped spots, joined together
and encompassed by penumbra, which was continued
in narrow crooked band toward the east connecting
itself with a small wedye-shaped spot about 10000
miles sou,h e"-'"-iy from the large spot: the Whole
presenting an appearance hot unlike the pouy' neck
and head Of goose. .
The penumbTa surrounding the large spot resembled
the edges of parted clouds highly illuminated aud
rolled I'D BY a violent wind. This appearance tends
to corroborate the theory of Wilson and Herschel,
that the body of the is dark, opaque substance,
and the spots mere openings in the surrounding umi.
