school board in Worcester who dare not take the
responsibility Of adopting a sanitary measure,
recommended by men who have given the SUBJ
iect special and careful consideration, recon-
mended by the most eminent medical testimony,
until the parents have first made known their
wishes, then we cannot too soon--and the sooner
the better-return to the old-fashioned barba-
rian district system, and let the parents "run
the machine" For this reasoning carried ont
to its logical results would make Of our super
intending committee men figure-heads--m of
straw. Suppose our school houses were so i'm
perfectly constructed as TO require some meas
ure for better ventilation, our children must
forsooth breathe noXious gases until parents
shall see fit TO make known their wishes to our
astute school board. Such temporizng policy
is unworthy the source from whence it proceeds
it smacks too much of the political arena.
The school board is the place of all Others
from whence all such influences should be for
ever excluded. 1t is presumed 20 be composed
of men of superior intelligence and culture, VINO
are TO lead and not be led by public sentiment
on all matters relating TO the welfare oil our
public school system. Besides, expression
enough has already been given upon this mat
ter by parents to make the committee at least
alive to its Importance. Many communications
have appeared from parents from time to time
in the columns of this paper, and the numeT-
ouslv sirned petition of the parents of Pleasant
school district is but an indication OF what rue
norents of other districts would do II the matter
were once brought TO their attention.
This measure is still before the board Tor con-
sideration, and it is a measure in which some
parents at least have n deep interest. Let us
hope that it will receive that consideration from
the committee which its importance warrants,
and that their action will be based, not upon the
question OF its popularity or unpopuarity, but
lpon the merits Of the case. p.

nearly S5, OOC charters. When II is remembered
that those manuscripts range from royal deed
of Gift to q lady's receipt for pm money, anu
they include letters, or other autograph memo,

tory for more than 500 wears, including many

early destiny of America (therc having Deen
lately unearthed from them documents unravel-
ng tbe famous snarl of that "Stone" council
which agltated the first church of Hartford not
onlv but all the churches of New England in
its earliest years., it will become obvious that
they are worthy the research, not merely of
every student Of history, but that no such stu
dent can make sure that he has gone TO the bot
tom of his subject until he has faithfully eN-
amined them.
The reading-room is arranged with marvellous
perfection 1t is a huge, circular hre-proof
apartment 40 feet in diameter, lighted from
windows in dome whose crown is lO4 feet from
the floor, encompassed by an oblong building
of iron aud brick 25S feet by 1874, altogether
containing sheli-space for n million and half
of books. More than 10000 of these line the
interior walls of the circular salon, in three
tiers of say eight shelves each, separated by iron
balconies The 10000 of these OF the lowest
tier which are accessible from the floor, are
books of most frequent demand in theology,
law, philosophy, fine arts, biography, bellies let
tiers, poetry, photography, classics, geography,
voyages and travels, topography, history, peri
tionaries of languages, gcnealogies, calendars,
and so forth, and are free to all readers to help
themselves without troubling any attendant.
Desks for 300 readers are provided in lines con-
venienty radiating from the center of the room,
where in small circles are arranged the cata-
logues by which the whole is made accessible,
and whose minuteness may be inferred from the
fact that 1877 folio volumes are devoted simply
to books and pamphlets beginning with the
letter B! The manuscripts are equally well
catalogued.
We have said that the museum is open freely
TO any respectable person. He or she, however,
must be over twenty-one years of age. All that
is needed is the endorsement of some house
hold known Through the directory to the
authorities. ticket is then issued for six
months, on signing an agreement 10 conform to
a few stringent but simple and just rules-such
as that no book shall be marked or taken away,
and so forth. With this ticket one may take his
seat and help himself to all the 10000 just re-
ferrcd TO; and if he wants books not there or
any MSS, on filing out tickets of request in
the proper manner, he can have one or thou
sand brought TO his desk at any time, and as
often as he likes. There is absolutely no limit.
Our readers we think, will agree with us that
the British museum is great place. Henry

Shorter sessions for oUr .cI,ooI.

upon the able and valuable report in favor of
shorter sessions of our public schools. by a ma.

gate and report upon that subject, the ground
taken by some members in opposition to a
general application of the report to all the
schools, was that the parents of but one school

Of questionable utility or doubtful expediency,

and the collection of the revenue dangerous.
The proof that such state of affairs exists in
some localities is now before the senate. That
the power TO correct these evils is beyond the
control of the state authorities do not doubt;
that the power of the executive of the United
States, and acting within the limits of the exist
ing laws, Is sufficient for the present emergencies,
is not clear. Therefore | urgently recommend
such legislation as in the judgment Of congress
shall efectually secure life, liberty and property
in all parts of the United States. 1t may be ex-
pedient to provide that such law as shall be
passed in pursuance of this recommendation
shall expire at the end of the next session of con-
gress. There is no other subject on which will
recommend legislation during the present SEES

In view of the remarkable unanimity of the
people OF San Domingo in their eagerness for
annexation to the United States, the New York
Evening Post pertinently inquiries why they
should ask us to pay them for accepting such
boon. Whatever advantages are anticipated for
us from annexation, the benefits 10 San Do
mingo, unless all the hopes of the annexation
lists are to be utterly disappointed, would be
very much greater. The only direct benefits
promised to the United States are a coaling sta
ton for our feet and the strategical advantage
vaguely described as "the command of the en-
trance to the Gulf of Mexico" while San Do
mingo is to receive a good and stable govern
ment, capital and population are to be almost
Immediately increased ten-fold at least, COM
merce and agriculture are to be advanced in
similar proportion, manufactures to be estab
lished and all the natural resources of the coun
try to be stimulated to an astonishing develop
ment. They have their debt, whether it i:
one and half or five millions, which they
contracted themselves for their own pur-
poses, which would be but trivial
burden for community so rich as San Do
mingo soon will be, even if the most
moderate expectations of the annexation
lists are realized But before they viii
accept all these immense advantages,
they want MS to pay their debts, although
aside from this, the expense which we must i'm
mediately incur is immense. There will be light
houses to build, aud harbor Improvements to
make; there must be Notifications, troops and a
naval squadron, custom houses, post offices, and
court houses, all of which the United State!
must provide and pay for, and there is no equiv
Alent tor all this except such indefinite and
doubtful benefits as are implied in the vague ex
preston, command of the Gulf of Mexico ,
San Domingo gets all the direct and positive
good, including the payment of her debt, and
the United States pays all the expense. But the
San Domingo project is dead-thanks to the
folly of the president and his friends, as much
as to the wisdom of Mr.. Sumner, and it is need
less to expose its absurdities.
