The Matter of the mosely School.
The present statctof affairs In the Mcse]y
School is still topk Of interest especially in
the southern part Of the city. We should not,
however, have referred to the matter again,
had NC not been visited OH Saturday afternoon
by commission inbehalf of and representing
the pupils, with document which We did not
read, and declined.to publish, notwithstand-
ing the boys urged 1he rule generally good Of
Hear both sides. Tsere is but one side to This
question Of the Mosely School, and that is with
the Board Of Ed1caiion
The Board occupy responsible and ardu-
GUS position It would not be the former,
while it would be, tenfold the latter, if its
functions were to be shared Mt will with In-
pills and parents anil citizens generally. We
suppose there is noparent Of pupil in The
Mosely school who would be willing to step
forward and take TIE whole control Of matters
there, and If there Ae, ond that person is COM
petent, We pledge fhem our support for the
position Of members of the Board, but Until
they are go appointed 1t will be worse than
useless and Of the most perniclous effect for
them to assume suiA duties.
The simple, plain fact is this. The upper
department Of this school was allowed by lsx-
ity Of goyesnment4n the partof the late Prin-
cipal, o1apae into j. condition Of insubordina-
tion and selfwi1l, and has found the occasion
furnished them In 3 change Of teachers by the
action Of the Board, to break out into open
and defiant hostility to the control Of the
Board, and the temporary Principal We arc
willing to do credit here to the merits Of Mr.:
Benham as an instructor, for this lis conceded;
bnt In point Of management he certainly Las
failed. That the pupils are in favor Of the late
Principal and have adopted the motto "IBen-
ham forever" has nothing to do will the set
Element Of the question, sa7o us one Of the
difficulties to be overcome. The Board Of Ed
ucation have charge Of the school and they
have removed Mr. Benhau1. There is no re-
dress, no power behind the Board, and there
can be none, consistently with the welf,ro Of
our schools. If any parent in that district
feels aggrieyed, md cannot consent to acqul-
esce, there arr prsvate schools and there are
the hestreets, to either Of which they nay com
NIT their boys, but TIC incline to the belief that
they will do well 70 still continue them at the
Aose5Js vita 55zEefsaon to be orderly, Qns:
ct, doc!1e, and attehd to'their Biographies ana
not torture their Immature judgments with
questions Of Public sol1ool policy.
The position Of Mr.. Spoaord is most try
ing, and ne hope soon to hear that he has
resumed his oWn excellent School in the West
Division, and given the Mosely School over to
a permanent and wellselected Principal. Tie
Board should sec this done with the least
possible delay. In the meantime Mr. Spofford
is acting under their orders, md not as an
amateur and volunteer Rarey for the subiuga-
ton Of refractory colts and FLIES. Let eyer7-
body interested land parents and pupils arc all
60 to work to remove the present
stigma against the Afoeely School. Ii is cne
Of the best schools in The city in its class ard
Intelligence Of scholars, and the solution il an |
easy one, ii rightly undertaken. Set about 1t |
