Our Common School Interests.

The cause of education throughout tho
State. the past year, has been receiving
unwonted attention. and the friends OF
the cause, who have been Instrumental IN
accomplishing this, are entitled to the iuii
credit. By the reports OF the Teachers
Institutes. in the several Counties, and
the Maine Educational Association, which
held profitable session last week, ut
Bath. we notice that educators. parents
and all, have been aroused to an interest
in the cause which we have not enjoyed,
~ a State, for many years, If ever.
Ii is noticeable that the views and ideas
advanced in most cases, are practical,
rather than theoretical, tho 1T course,
more orlesS Of the latter are always to be
found among men otherwise noted rs
popular educators.
We rejoice 10 see the common school
interests of cur State promoted. We have
lost faith ia the Academical system and
should toe glad to have every Academy
give place to a well graded public school.
Every town could unite its village dis
tricts, and establish high school which
would afford far superior privileges to
the whole town. and at less exl cnSe, than
are now obtained from few terms of an
Academy, where most OF the scholars
make ii a practice TO enter at the first half
of a term. and leave ut the last half, and
study what they please, when they please,
and how they please
Om objection lies not to any particular
Academy. but 10 the system. There are
too many Of them in our State. for sue
ccSSfnl existence. They are an institution
of the past, useful in the emly history Of
the country, when the common schools
were inadequate to the needs Of society,
LU, NO, required where our public schools
cam tax, their places.
There are many abuses, of course, in
The common school system, which need
correction. Bat the system of Instruction.
discipline, &e. which they can command,
whj>h private schools cannot. give them
great advantage over the latter. The
instruction givonin ticm is more thorough
and complete, as is evident from the fit
for Iyse which the graduates of the
ioymer, IN most every city in oar state,
enjoy over those OF the latter.

that Congress will reduce the tariffo SUI
