be at hand. The great need is that teachers
should be physiologically educated themselves.
first to be thoroughly competent to decide upon
the sanitary condition of their schools; and
secondly, to acquant their pupils with the
laws OF health. 1t is superlluOus TO say that
this branch of education is entirely neglected.
The problem of how to live is swallowed up in
the more important one of how to calculate.
The system is false, and requires reconstruction
Mathematics is not the sum and substance Of
existence. "The first thing in every efficient
man is fine animal" says Emerson.
Much of the wrong, apparent in the New
York public schools is undoubtedly owing TO
the local boards, composed for the most part.
of iliterate men, who owe their position to the
votes of the sovereign people, and who are
sadly incompetent TO discuss matters of health
and education.
In respect to ventilation, our sister City OF
Boston is making very vigorous efforts to re-
pair past wrong The new BOwdtch School
is remarkably well ventilated on the Robinson
system, each ventilatOr consisting of a rectan-
gular tube of four apertures, two admitting
fresh and two carrying off bad air. BY this
simple arrangement at the top of the building,
current of fresh air is supplied; but excel
lent as this method is, it is not perfect, being
imperative when the external and internal at
mosphere are of the same temperature, and in
capable of producing diifusive and acclimated
atmosphere. Five or six school-houses are to
be built during the next year; 5000 will be
built in the State during the next ten years.
Surely it becomes the Trustees of our school
fund to see to it that no more Black Holes OK
Calcutta disgrace the country These reforms
among others are needed:
1. A separation of primary and grammar
schools.
H. Introduction of ventilation in all the
schools now erected.
III. Construction of sufficient number or
new buildings to prevent Overcrowding.
~. The employment of first class archl"
tects, who will understand the subjects OF ven
tilation, heating, and Lighting.
Y. The purchase of healthy sites sufi1-
ciently large to admit of play grounds that are
not satires on the name.

Further statements are made concerning the
management of the Paterson Amshousc, which,
if confirmed, should insure a lmg State prison
term for the author of the Outrageous cruelties
upon the helpless creatures under his charge.
Whipping dcfcnseless women with thongs and
sticks, starving children when their poor dole
of food had been stolen from them, and refusing
a candle to a mother who belieycd her child was
dying in her arms at midnight, appear to have
hoon common practices of the man whose Will

The extracts from affdayits which we publish

THE SOUP COMMITTEE.

To the Editor Of The TribuHe
SIR: Your editorial in Thursdays TRIBUNE,
entitled Soup Societies and the Presidency" will
fear, mislead many of our friends who may nos
know that the Committee you speak of is NOT the
regular Union Republican General Committee of the
city ordered by and formed under the last Union
Republican State Convention held at Syracuse ID
September 1866.
The Soup Committee is the old Twenty -third-st.
Conservative machine, that was in existence before
September 1866, and which would not recognize the
order of the State Convention, requiring new or
ganzatOn of the party in this city, holding over and
ignoring the State Convention Its managers are tho
men who got up the Saratoga Convention, and aided
the Philadep phia-JOhnson Convention last year.
Thomas Murphy is its chairman at the late meet
ing none of the REGULAR officers in their places;
their duties were performed by PRO tem's."
The Regular Union Republican General Commit
tee authorized by the State Convention, is another
machine entirely.
The Murphy Soup Committee does not call itself
Republican" as your article intimates

RJoODSBED IN TENNESSEE.

When a Republican meeting at FRANKLIN
the capital of a County whose Whites were
unanimously Rebels-was broken up by muir
derous fuslade, The World told its readers
that this was a Radical riot On the same
principle, it should now denOunce the bloody
affray at Rogersvile as of Conservative origin.
We do not so insult the understandings OF our
patrons. Political passions IN Tennessee have
been lashed into frenzy; but we do not believe
either party is mad enough to fire vOlleys into
its own meetings nor attempt to pistol It's can
didates or champions. Even if we were knaylsh
enough to make such absurd assertions, we
should be restrained by our knowledge that
the public has too much sagacity to be deluded
by them.
The Franklin butchery was of Conservative
impulse and origin; that at Rogersyille must
be placed to the discrcdit of the Radicals.
They had no business at the meeting except as
quiet listeners. If they did not choose to hear
Etheridge-and we know that his harangues
are more vitriolic than those of any other live
man, Brownlow possibly excepted-they had
only TO keep ont of ear-shOt. No matter how
bitter how unjust, were Etheridge's words
that was not the time nor the place for contra
dction. As a presiding officer in legislative
body would say: "The gentleman from West
"Tennessee has the floor" and no one else
had a right TO it unless invited by the party
i'll possession.
We earnestly say to the sedate, considerate
Tennesseeans, of both parties, you must unite
To put stop to these disgraceful, murderous
collisions. You must not ask nor consider to
which party their authors belong but subject
them impartially to the sternest legal discipline
Unless you do this promptly, you will soon
bo involved in a fresh civil war, while Sc
cmity, order, industry, prosperity will flee
your State as though it were paguc-stricken.
Gen. Thomas is Military Commandant of the
district which includes Tennessee. He is cap
able, firm, wise, loyal and large souled. We
wish he were under orders to keep the peace
in that State by arresting all murderous dis
turbcrs al whatever cost. Unless some outside
authority should be interposed, We apprehend
that the approaching election will be signal

A resolution in favor Of teaching the metric
system of weights and measures in all public
schools and academies was adopted in the
State Teachers Association after a good deal
of debate in the course Of which Mr. Clark of
Canandagua put himself Oh record as an
enemy of the decimal system, which ho said
had no existence in nature. If he meant that
nature does not count by tens, ho might have
gone further and said with equal truth
that she does not count at all.
But the objection that decimal system is a
purely artificial one has no force. Travelling
by railway is purely artificial method of To-
comotion, nature having supplied us with moth
ing for that purpose but legs. Would Mr..
Clark therefore require all mankind to go

been going the rounds that our City's Demo

as the three daily papers to publish the pro-
ceedings Of the Common Council and its Com

to complain of it. The Controller was acting

pUBLTc MONEY FOR RELIGIOUS PURPOSES


The donation of public money to sectaran
institutions is a growing abuse which we nope
the Constitutional Convention Will hnd some
means of checking. It's very safe to lay down
rule that no appropriations shall be voted by
the State except to establishments which are
entirely under State control. We find no tault
with any of the charitable and religious lnstl-
tutions whose participation in the public lar
cesses has of late aroused so much comment !;
we make no doubt that they are in general
useful and deserving; but the fact remains that
tbey are all more or less sectarian in
their character more or less under the
influence of some particular denomination
1t is objected that most of them are open 10
persons of all creeds That does not mend
the matter; on the contrary, 1t increases the
probabilities of proselytism. We have no Dusi-
ness to tax the whole community for the sup
port of establishments which a majority OF the
community does not sanction. Take almost
anv of the schools or asylums which were
awarded donations by the last Legislature ;
put it to the popular ballot whether they shall
receive assistance from the State and we
venture to say that the vote will be three to
one against them. In former times the money
raised in the State for purposes Of education
was distributed among various religious
bodies for the support of their denominatlonal
schools. 1t was soon found that the funds
were misappropriated; instead of going to the
schools they practically went to the churches.
The consequence was the creation of the pres
ent common school system, the cardinal idea
of which is that no denomination ought to be
allowed, either directly or indirectly, to put It's
hand into the public money chest or to tax
people of a different creed for its benefit.
Now, however, we are rapidly being driven away
from these safe mOOrings by stress of politics.
A donation of one or two thousand dollars to a
religious school is a cheap and easy way OF
buying a great many votes. 1t is not only a
wrong to the public, but it is demoralHng
alike to those who give and to those who re-
ceive. When political chicanery and coTup-
ton get into our schools and churches, 1t Is as
well for us to think of reform. Let us stop
the whole business at once let the State open
as many charitable and educational establish
ments as may be needed and if the Presby-
terians, the Methodists, the EpiscoDalians, OF
the Catholics want others under their own
supervision, let them pay the bills themselves

AS there is no longer doubt that the Party of
Action under the leadership of Garibaldi and
Mazzni, will soon make movement against
Rome, the Italian Prime Minister, Baron
Ratazzi. has offered to garrison the City of
Rome with national troops, to protect it from
the threatened attack. 1t is doubtful whether
the small Papal army will alone be able to
suppress a revolutionary movement, as Carl
bald can undoubtedly collect large force
of volunteers. According TO the Franco
Italian Convention of September IS,
1884, the Italian Government is bound
neither to attack the Papal territory nor to al
low an attack from abroad. But no provision
is made fOr tho outbreak of insurrection among
the people of the Ecclesiastical States. Should
the Papal Government decline the prohered
aid, and the insurrection break out first within
the Papal territory, the Italian Government
may use this as pretoxt to Temain neutral
In Rome it is feared that if an Italian garTi-
son is once admitted it will afterward be diff
fiCult to get rid of 1t; and it is felt, moreover,
tIat France and the other Catholic Powers
will never permit the total overthrow of the
POpes temporal throne.
