OgR CRY soHoOLs.-That our city sshOo, ;
should be re-opened without delay, and the
important work Of educAtion resumed, is
felt TO be necessary. A people that fails to
educate must prepare for crime, and squan-
der on jnils and penitentisries far more
thar the cost Of school houses and tuition.
Where high character and commercial pros
psrisy is desired, there the intellect must
be cultivated. Oar school houses have, for
q considerabls time, been appropriated to
army uss As hospitals, and public education
has been at stand still. Il is time that
the schools were again in full and energetic
operation, and Il is believed that an effort
on the part Of the friends Of education, win
induce she government to make sueh ar
rangemsnts as VIII allow those buildings TO
be once more appropriated to their original
purpose. Two weeks ago the city council
appointed e committee to ascertain whether
the eli can again have the use Of its four
school rooms, which can sceommOd if
teen hundred children. It is earnestly
hoped the efforts Of the committee will
meet with the success which TIE laudsble
object It has in view 80 well merits. About
twelve thousand dollars Is now standing TO
the credit Of the school fund, and II posses
sion Of the buildings can be obtained, our
city schools will soon be once more appro-
priased to the important purposes Tor which
they were erected.
