The PUBLIC SCHooLs.-A circular from
the Superintendent of Pablo Instruction is
published in his official organ, the Educational
Journal of Virginia, addressed to the County
Superintendents Of Schools Il synopsis OF
which will prove of interest to our readers.
He first refers to the examination of teach
ers; each Superintendent must, tor the pres
ent, fix his own standard Of proficiency, SIMPLY
adopting some rule which will secure All a6un-
dance of teachers, but allowing no exigenc7 to
tempt him to license person who Is, in any
respect, unfit to train the young. tie counseIs
the employment Of the best OF the present prl'
vate teachers, if they eau be ioduced to serve,
even by suppementing their pay by private
subscriptions, and Insists that, from the be-
ginning, the people must have schools worthy
Of their confidence in every respect
He next alludes to the division Of the chill
dren to be taught, into separate schools accord
ing to color, asserting that this has not been
done to cast any indignlty upon any portion Of
the people, but simply to secure the rights and
comfort of all. All must be fairly treated, and
he hopes that coIored teachers may often DC
found qualified to take charge OF coored
schools. All teacher certificates are to expire
in one wear, and the Superintendent should
exert this influence to give sufficient pay to 10
duce competent persons to serve as teachers
iull justice being done, in this respcc', to fc
males, whose services are recognized 10 o'Eer
States, as of more and moro value from year to
year.
A new set OF ideas is to DO taught, and lnin
culcatiug them, the Superintendent will have
need of great patience. Questions as to the
number and loc,tion Of schools will be em
barrassing, and regard must b, had to the ia
ture as we'll as to the present. especially before
acquiring real estate If the people are ready
ior it, let the question be pu. at the Novem
Der election, whether they will tax themselves
to double the State tuods (the State fund ior
the city and county of Alex ,ndria will be some
where between So. 600 and IS 900, and tax Of
an additional 10 cts. 90 the hundred dollars
or one fifth more on rea! and crson4l proper
ty than is now paid, will be required to raise
it to $40, OOO,) but if the people are not pre-
pared for county subscription, schools mus
be multiplied by private contributions. NJ
district falling to provide school accommoda,
tons can receive any portion of the school fund
from the State.
The fundamental idea Of the school system
is to provide for the elementary Instruction
all the children 10 the commonwealth; thl
must not be interferred with, nor lost sight OF
but higher branches may be introduced II
can be done advaptapeously, and graded school
should be established wherever hundre
children may be expected to attend. Trustee
