Popular Education.

IT is easy to theorize upon the theme Of gene
raj education. The subject is always attrao-
tive to those who are qualified to judiciously
consider it, and it has also 30 many claims to
popular regard that it receives the attention
of multitude Of benevolent leisurely people
who try their prentice hands upon the work.
Wide differences of opinion still prevail. The
time -honored belief that all minds should be
trained in exactly the same fashion has been
supplanted, to a large extent, by the doctrine
that the best results would be attained by
training peculiar to each pupil; but the prac-
tical application of this theory is 30 inconve-
nient and difficult, that it can only be secured
by generation Of parents and teachers much
nearer to millennial condition than those now
upon the stage of action.
The real question just now Is how the mil
lions are to be taught to read and write, and
not how the model manikin can best become
master of mathematics. Unfortunately the
world at present has a great deal OF business
upon its hands; and, while it is bound to give
the best opportunity in its power to the youth
ful Newton, it must also, and in the first
place, do as well by the lowest and most
stupid ignorsmus. The magnitude of the
subject is really appalling, and, in our present
condition, the most practical scheme is to
exert ourselves to the utmost in working for
the greatest good of the greatest number.
The common school system offers very
fair and practical solution for the prominent
difficulties of the question, and it would be
wise to accept the scheme in the form now in
successful operation, and vigorously develop
it to its utmost capacity. The faults at pre-
sent do not arise from any inherent evil in the
system itself, but are due to the incomplete
manner in which it is executed. Even in the
most neglected country district all that is
needed is better schools, better teachers, and
heightened period of tuition. II is not any
thing different that is required, but greater
perfection in the details now in common prac.
tice.
In our own State the last annual report calls
for better schOol-houses, longer sessions, and
I higher salaries in many of the rural districts.
These are practical wants, for which remedies
can readily be found, and we cannot plead ig-
norance of duty as a reason for its uon-psr-
formance.

Pennsylvania and New York Finances.
The report of the Comptroller Of New York
State Finances presents marked contrast to
the report of the Auditor General OF Pennsyi-
vania, illustrative of the difference in the
methods of administering the financial affairs
Of the empire" and the "Keystone." For
one thing, at least, we may be deyoutly
thankful. No sweeping State tax is imposed,
and the only approach to it is a tax On perso-
nal property SO insignificant that 1t yielded

State tax of 7 s mills was levied for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1868, producing
revenue Of $l2, CAT, 21S. During the present
fiscal year the rate of taxation was As mills,
and during the next fiscal year this rate is to
be reduced to Al mills. But while New York
subjects her citizens to direct taxes not i'm
posed in Pennsylvania, she releases them
from various forms of indirect taxation
freely resorted to here, and she
also expends the revenues of the State
Treasury with liberal hand for the
general welfare. Pennsylvania did little or
nothing, as State, to relieve the local gov
ernments of the burden imposed during the

Of her present debt is classified as "bounty"
debt, this sum amounting in September, 1867,
to $2G, S62, 900, and in September, 1868, after

New York State Treasury also contributes to
the support and extension of the Erie Canal
and other public improvements-the "canal'
tax levied during the last fiscal year exceed

works are regarded as source of revenue
rather than of expenditure. The New York
State tax for the support of schools also ex-
ceeds two millions of dollars, while Pennsyl-
vania contributes from the State Treasury to
the common schools the meagre allowance of
$343, 3,86G'99, Philadelphia receiving the mag
nificent sum of $12 637'7S!
