Our Public Schools.

As our Public School system rests
upon the assumption, that proper ed
vocational training EN- braces the virtue
and prosperity of a ,'eople; and wise
" and benefciently contemplates the
education of all the children of the
community at the public expense. 1t
therefore follows, as one OF the most
i'm portant duties devolvlng upon the
people, and one of the most serious
obligations to the state, that they aid
and foster these schools, not only by
cooperating with those who have
charge or management OF them but
that they use all proper measures, and
their most earnest efforts, to induce
all who are contemplated by tins sys
tenn to avail themselves OF It's prlvIl-
eyes. When the people thus assume
the possibilities resting upon them,
and he teachers feel an earnest inter
est n their labors. these schools can
but be successful, and will exert an
influence upon the community, which
cannot be too highly Appreciated
That the people of this community
are beginning to appreciate the mn
portance of these schools and to real
ize their duties in regard to them, is
quite apparent, and that those who
have been placed in charge of the sew
eral departments of our schools have
evInced an earnest interest IN their
work. and an anxious desire to meet
the expectations which had been en-
tertalned concerning them, Is shown
by many evidences, aside from the
condition of the schools and appear
ance of the scholars which on the
whole Is highly satisfactory 1t is
true, that our High School apartment
cannot boast of large attendance,
yet this result must have been anticl-
pated as a consequence Of the requir-
ed eparation more recently deemed
necessary, III order to enter this de-
partment Therefore, little or no
disappointment can arise IN this re-
spect. But as to the department, and
Intelligent mastery of the studies pur-
sued the scholars of each department
Will bear favorable comparison with
those OF other high schools. These
remarks have not been prompted by
any desire TO mlslead anyone in regard
to the condition or quality of our
public schools; but by our candor in
the statement of fact to obviate if
possible, any wrong impression which
might obtain through the depreciat-
ing remarks of those who only need,
we believe. 20 visit and examine these
schools n ! - r,11anh in tl.r, -

PhEsENTIMENTs. = The Louisville
Co'trssr relates the following remarka-
bic preseutiments of danger in con-
nectlon wlts, the late steamboat dis
aster on the OHIO River:
Capt. y. O. EoSs, of the steamer
Nick Longworth, stases that while In
Cincinnati, on Tuesday, he made ev-
cry arrangement for his wife ana two
children to come to this city on the
United States yesterday, for the plr-
pose of accompanying him South (;
but, on his arrival here on " ednes-
day, with no motive or reason for
which he can give an explanation, he
telegra Bhed to his wife to take pass
age on the Kate Robinson, a stern
wheeler. with accommo dations greatly
inferior to those of the United States,
and with officers entirely unknown to
him, while those of the Inflated steam
er We're his intimate friends. BY this
singular freak of mind on the Cap
taln's part his dear wife and little
ones were saved from the awful doom
that swept asunder so many life ties,
and sent the dark angel of mourning
into so many family circles. Surely
the hand of providence was in the
miracle.
An equally narrow escape from the
dreadful fate of the human cargo on
the United States was made By Mr..
Underwood and BRIDE, of Bowling
Green, who went eastward only few
days ago, and arrived in Cincinnati,
returning from the bridal trip, on
Friday, with the full intention of
coming down down on the lost steam-
er. They even drove down to the
boat to engage a state-room, when
Mrs. Underwood was suddenly over
come by fear that all would not be
well on the river. Her entreaties were
deferred to, and she and her husband
took the cars instead, and arrived
here safely yesterday and proceeded
to their home IN Bowling Green.

JUSTICE.

REMARKS deviate from our
general rule in publishing anonymous
spondence in the above article
upon our Public Schools, for it is a
subject that should be thoroughly ven
tilated. An article upon the same
subject a few weeks since, has given
rise to much comment, and we hope the
subject may not be lost sight of until
an interest is awakened in the minds Of
the people that shall secure to Miner
al Point Public Schools of a much
higher grade than heretofore enioved.
The Primary and some of the inter
mediate departments are far better
conducted than most schools of those
grades, and we feel confident that if
the other departments of our Citv
Schools were equally creditabIe. we
should not see large majority Of the
young ladies and young men of our
city sent to private schools here and
elsewhere to secure an education
when so many seats in our Public
Schools are vacant. At this time
there are two private schools in this
city, each having about one hundred
pupils, and but for lack of accommo-
datlons, would have many more. Our
nine Public Schools are attended bv
but about FIVE hundred children. while
they have accommodation for abont
eight hundred, and the five hundred
children in the city that attend no
schools, Is an evidence of a lack
somewhere of proper interest in the
euhJect Of education We believe
our school officers desire better schools.
and anything that may tend to exar.
else public interest in the matter
