There are no charities save, perhaps
an occasional "self.paying one'-which
70 successfully appeal to popular goodwill
and support, as those that pay the largest
possible percentage Of receipts to bene6c-
aries, and the smallest possible percentage
to agents Let charitable institution
possesses this one merit--thc direct distri-
button Of its gifts to the graetest number
ofpersons by the simplest machinery-and
it at once appeals to generosity on the one
hand and to our approval Of business skill
and economical management on the 9TH
cr.
The exhibit recently made by General
Howard regarding the educational work
of the Freedmens Bureau disclosed a
charity of the sort just spoken of, 1t is
surprising how many people, white and
black, at the South have been taught,
through the Bureaus instrumentalty dur
ing the past year, and by how few Gov
eminent agents the work has been done.
The numbers of the persons TO whom the
Bureau has directly or indirectly furnish
ed education in this way amount to more
than hundred thousand and yet the
whole work has been accomplished with
out dollar OF new expense, the sum used
being part of the savings of old appro-
prlatlons.
General Cox, however, in his report as
Secretary of the Interior, makes new
and important suggestion relative to a
still further consolidation and economy
in the work Of education is well known
that at the last session of Congress the or
ganization Of the Department of Educa-
ton was essentially reduced. The Com
missioner has accordingly devoted his
time to giving advice, information and aid
to State officer or trustees or instructors
Of common schools, to preparing and
transmitting circulars and memoirs on ed
ucation, and to personally visiting schools
and educational conventions for the inter.
change Of views. But General Cox OBJ.
serves that the encouragement of educa.
ton among the freenmen. which has hith.
erto devoved on their Bureau, is really
closely allied to the general scope of the
duties devolying npon the Commissioner
of Education, Accordingly, he suggests
the propriety of uniting the whole in the
latter Office, with suitable powers and
provisions for fostering education and in
creasing intelligence among the freedmen
The suggestion seems TO be very good
one. The Department of Education should
naturally succeed to the educational part
of the Freedmeus Bureau, the latter in.
stitution having now been substantially
abolished. !, Times,
