Schools, &c.

Mn. Ep,roR When shall our City, sol
favored in many other respects. have two
good Schools-oae for boys and the other
for girls ? 1t seems that want of proper
management has been the cause of failure
in our City Schools; they are now mere
wrecks. The great objection to the pre-ex-
is.ing beys.school, was, that it was sectari-'
an. Without for q moment refusing to
any religions demon nation the right to
have and favor schools under their own con-
troll, still we maintain. that in small city
like ours. they neutrality-suspicious. an eye
sore. We want good schools, where party
spirit and those miserable religious teuds,
which SO often disturb the. peace and good
feelings of small communities, will be en-
tirely unknown.
Great therefore was our astonlshment
when in looking over the columns OF the
New York Observer, one OF the most sar-
caatic and abusive papers of this Onion'
and one of the strictest scctarian papers IN
the land, we read an advertisement for a
teacher to our Academy. IF we are not
mistaken, the building is for all =: why
then endeavor to bring the school under the
influences of Presbyterianism ? Why not
advertise in a paper devoted TO the interests
of Methodism or Episcopacy Must the
children of those of the Christian denomi-
nation, or of the Episcopal Church, or OF
any other creed, be ruled exclusively by
persons believing in and subscribing to the
confession of faith of 1647
Surely, that advertisement in the organ
of Prcsbyterianism tells plainly, where to
the Trustees of the School are drifting
Are there no secular papers where advcr'
tisements can be read? Is this modus
| operandi suitable to the wants Of our popu
lation Assured as we are that that the ma
ority Of Trustees are in favor of union
for VIC have heard them say 30, we are at :
loss to imagine what sad influence must fo
moment have made their sound scns'
falter The advertisement in the number o
March %, 1860, calls for a man with fami
ly, who will take in pupils as boarders
Are the Trustees. in whose names this j
written to send their children to this gentle
man, and are they also to provide a hom
for him
/ repeat, we need good School in thi
city it can be well supported but let n
have no onc-sided policies about it 4; n
special influences distortnS the publ
good no shy advertisements in a religion
sectarian paper, which is read only by thos
of its faith we have always understoo'
that Trustees should consult the public wei
fare and not submit to the dictates Of on
sect or one individual. We trust that al
this will be rectiied. RiCHT.
