THE COMMON SCHOOLS OF PENN.
SYL HANIA.

The report of the Superintendent of Com
mon Schools for the year ending June Z, 1869,
which has recently been presented to the
Legislature, contains much useful informa-
tion and o number of valuable suggestions.
Many evidences of improvement are pre-
septed. A few districts still stubbornly re-
fuse to provide free schools, but their num-
ber is now so limited that only few thou
sand children are unprovided with educational
facilities, and the last barriers of ignorance
and prejudice are tottering to their fall.
Meanwhile, in the accepting districts there is
a largo annual increase in the number of
schools, teachers, pupils, cost of tuition, and
expenditures for buildings The total cost of
the system in 1869 exceeded the expenditures
of the previous year by more than three
quarters of million of dollars, and the in
crease of total cost over 1866 amounts to
$2,790,990.
Public sentiment is demanding all over the
Commonwealth an improvement in every
ramiioation of the school system, and rapid
advance is constantly being made. Splendid
new Normal Schools are springing up. Last
year five times as much money was spent as
in any year previous to 1866 in the erection
of new school buildings, and the average at
tendance of pupils is now 135,02G greater
than it was three years ago.
There is still, however, room for other re-
forms. Of the children of the State at least
80, 900 do not obtain educational instruction
of any kind, and although the total number of
pupils exceeds eight hundred thousand, the
average attendance is but little more than
half q million of pupils. The most strenuous
efforts should be made TO diminish the vast
aggregate of truancy disclosed by this state
ment, and to shield the children who are now
suffered to grow up in ignorance from the
misfortunes of orphanhood or the neglect Of
unfeeling parents.
The appropriations to Common Schools by
the State have been properly increased during
the last few years, but even now they amount
to but $500, 900 per annum, while the Com
monwealth of New York gives more than two
millions, Ohio nearly million four hun
dred thousand dollars, and Illinois and In
diana nearly one million, each, to this pur-
pose. Of the total public appropriations by
Pennsylvania for educational purposes,
scarcely ne-fourteenth is now contributed
by the State Treasury, and as its present
sources of revenue far exceed its legitimate
expenditures, portion of the surplus used to
enrich State Treasurers, or to squander on
Legislative favorites, could be very properly
devoted to educational purposes.

THE PA YNENT or PENSIONS.

AN earnest effort is now being made in Con-
gress to bring about reform in the manner
of paying pensions, and it would not be amiss
if athorough investigation into the whole sys-
tenn of settling the claims of those entitled to
pensions, prize money, and bounties were made
There ought to be no trouble about arranging
for the prompt payment OF this class OF claims,
without either trouble or expense to those
entitled to the money, but it is notorious that
the facilities of the Government Offices serve
rather to the enrichment of pension agents
and claim brokers than to the convenience of
those who are especially entitled to the con-
sideration of officials who have the disburse-
ment of the Government funds.
In the matter of pensions, in particular, it
is notoriously impossible, in great majority
of instances, to collect the money due with
out some of it being left in somebody's fingers
as it passes from the Treasury to the persons
entitled to it, The class of persons who re-
oeive pensions are particularly worthy of
every protection that the law can throw
around them to prevent them from being in
any way deprived of smallest fraction of the
pittance allowed by the Government. They
are our sick and manned soldiers and sailors,
or the widows and orphans of those who have
fallen in the defense of the country: they are
poor, and often too ignorant of legal forms to
be able to protect themselves in the slight
est degree from imposition; and they are con-
sequently at the mercy of the harpies who un-
derstand how to manipulate the departments
at Washington in their own interests. The
pensions allowed by the Government are dis
gracefully small at the best, and by the time
the persons entitled to them pay all the ex-
penses of collection there is very little remain
ing for the necessities of life. The agents
appointed to disburse the pensions grow rich
on the fees and perquisites, and the brokers
who make it business to secure settlements
of this GLASS of claims obtain rates of percent
age out of all proportion TO the value of their
services. Claim brokers are afforded facili-
ties for the transaction of business and for
obtaining information that are denied to those
who are Immediately interested, and persons
who have claims of this character against the
Government frequently find it practically i'm
possible TO collect their money without delays
of the most vexatious character, unless they
willing to submit to heavy discount.
II is q serious question whether there is any
necessity for such class Of officers as pen
sion agents. If they are required for the
proper transaction of the Government bust
ness, the professional politician should be
thrust to one side and the positions given to
disabled officers or soldiers, who should be

Al THE MEETING of the Board of School
Control, on Tuesday last measure was pro-
posed by MIR. Elkin, the Controller from the
rally in facilitating the business of the Board
in the important matter of making the annual
estimates. Hitherto the practice has been to
appoint special committee when Councils
call for the estimates from the different de-
partments near the end of the year, and the
consequence is that the work is done in
great hurry, and it is impossible for the mem
bers of the Board to criticize every item of
expenditure with proper closeness. These
estimates amount to many thousands of dol
lars annually, and it is essential for the pub
lie interest as we'll as for the efficiency of the
schools that they should be made with the ut
most care, and with perfect know
ledge of the wants of each sec
ton. Under the old plan this was
impossible, and the consequence was that
unnecessary expenses were often incurred,
while some sections did not have proper
justice done them by getting the appropria-
tions to which their actual needs entitled
them. To remedy this loose way of doing
business, Mr.. Elkin proposed an additional
bylaw creating a standing Committee on
Estimates, of nine members of the Board of
Controllers. This bylaw was unanimously
adopted by the Board, and the committee ap-
pointed by the President 1t can readily be
seen that such q committee as this will add
much to the efficiency of the school system,
as all occasions for expenditure that the
growing necessities of our schools may bring
up will pass through its hands and receive
ample investigation; so that when, at the end
of the year, the Board comes to make its esti-
mates, it will be able to proceed intelligently,
and with thorough knowledge of the
subject.

''THE FREE TRADER for January, in the
two pages of Advertisements that represent
the industrial and commercial encouragement
that it receives, furnishes one of the best
arguments against its own principles that
could be advanced. There are nine adver-
tisements of English iron, steel, and hardware
mapufacturers, one of drug importer, one
of the agent of an English pen manufacturer,
and the rest of the space is occupied to set
forth the merits of Putuam's Magazine, The
Free Trader, and the various publications of
the Free Trade League. This shows very
plainly who are interested in agitating for
free trade, and it does not need that we
should go beyond the advertising pages of
this publication to prove the fallacy of all its
arguments for the reduction of the tariff 1t
is the organ of English manufacturers, whose
only object is to drive American iron and
goods out of the market for their own benefit.

paid proper salaries and forbidden to take
any fees whatever from those entitled TO pom
sions. H. IIN
The present plan Of paying pensions only
twice year is a wrong that ought not to be
allowed longer TO exist as it not only subjects
the pensioner to serious inconvenience, but
it is an encouragement to extravaganza
by giving him large sum at onoo.
The same annual amount divided
between the twelve months would be of far
more real benefit than if paid semi-annually.
The plan proposed by General Butler of
making monthly payments by means of post
Office orders, seems to be practical and eco-
nomioal step in the way of reform, and we
sincerely hope that it will receive the candid
consideration of Congress. 1t is not enough
to vote money for tbe benefit of those en-
titled to the bounty Of the Government, but
it is the duty of Congress to see that the pen
sioners are protected from imposition and
that they receive promptly and surely every
cent to which they are entitled

ACADE.MY OF NATURAL SCLENCES.
EVERYBODY will be glad to learn that site
for new building has been determined upon
by the Board of Trustees of this institution,
and that its erection will be commenced as
soon as practicable. The cost of the prop osed
building will be 1928, 800, while the available
funds for that purpose are only $46, ,459'6S.
The public has generously given its coun-
tenanoe to the Academy during the last year,
attending its semi-weekly exhibitions with
that energy and persistence only to be found
inthe possessor of perpetual free pass.
With the same magnanimity which induced
Artemus Ward to freely sacrifice his wife's
brothers to the war, the public also has urged
the directors to the erection of this new build
ing with eagerness and zest, although the
SUM contributed by it to that end is not, we
admit large, amounting in the last year to
$1502-an average, the directors inform us,
with admirable mathematical accuracy, of q
fraction less than one cent for every sixty-four
visitors.
Assured as they are, however, of the yea
lous moral support of the community, they
will doubtless receive with gratitude any ad-
vice as to the bestowa of their funds.
Having been constant visitors to the Academy,
we feel entitled to offer q suggestion. 1t is
to the effect that catalogue would add
greatly to the usefulness of the chaotic mass
of bones, stones, beasts, and unshaven skulls
which are heaped pell-mell in the present
limited building. Doubtless to the calm phi
losophic eye of director this mangled mass
of primitive elements becomes perfect Co.'S

it is very witchs caldron to the intellect of

which the only information afforded him by
