FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,

The New York money market was easier on
Saturday than at any time during the week,
and loans were made a: seven per cent in gold
and Afterwards, in some instances, q the same
rats In currency, a small commission being
added where the amount was small or the bor-
rowers or cohaterals not first class; but this is
no fndicauon OF any material change in the
condition OF the money market, the banks hay =
ing begun to remit largely TO the South and
Southwest. The bank statement for th9 week
shows decrease of S4,42@,7i1 In legal tonders,
s6,S1,S29 in deposits, and S5,753,67S In loans;
while In the specie there is an increase of
S5,e26,2l5, and in the circulation an increase of
slUoiH- These figures indicate contraction
OF the resources of the banks, aud are therefore
calculated to afford but little encoura cement to
those who are looking for an easy money mar
ket.

SCHOOL REFORMS.

Among the improvements recently intro
dueed into the Public School system of New
York city rs one that might simultaneously be
adopted here. 1t is one forbidding the practice
by the city superintendent of any rule or
method by which inUdious comparisons be-
tween schools shall be possible. The differ
ence between different classes of scholars M kes
II possible for one to attain mucn higher grade
OF scholarship than another, and If Is the PR
pose OF this amendment that each school snail
be judged by its own standard, and that the su-
perintendent, IN estimating the measure Of sue
cess, shall take into consideration the circum-
stances of the case Whenever an examination
of school is ordered, under this rule il is made
the duty OF the principal TO furnish a statement
showing the number OF pupils taught IN the
school, or class, the period OF II struc ion ages
studies pursued, and the progress made, to-
gether with the advantages for intellectual I'M
proyement out of school. This statement will
Sford data TO estimate the progress made by
the pupils with some regard to the home infiu-
tnCes by which they are surrou nded. The
question whether or not the teachers have
properly performed their duties will b.
determined solely by consideration OF
the peculiar circumstances Of the school un-
der examination. TINS improvement Is very
desirable in many respects. The comparison
Palpably unjust and produces bad results. The
system OF Judging each school according TO its
Own standard will prevent the forcing, OF
BllmbeIizing. OF the pupils, and remove the
chief cause of oyer-study on the part Of those
attending schools. whose average of study is
necessarily lower than tnat of others where q
better class of scholars attend. In this connec-
ton, II Is matter worth the consideration of
cur School Board, whether the pre- EFT system
of competition Tor Scholarships is not open TO
the same objection as lausing InvidlJus COM
parsons between schools and putting merI.o-
nous teachers in humiliatIng ana unjust po-
sItion Of failure, here there ally has been no
failure upon their part. and they have done
all possible with the material III their hands.
The Lew rules Of the New York schools, above
referred 70, provide 20 carefully against the
possibility of unjust DISCRIMINATION that they
do ECt permit the sUperinIendent's reports of
