The school System.

To the Editor of the Press:
Relying more on the press as channel OF
communication with the general mind, than
as power, use Its columns to exoress my
opinion, and what deem to be the opinion OF
the masses, relative TO subject that has been
repeatedly introduced to the public notice,
though hardly to the public satisfaction.
The educational interests of this State seem
TO me to be of the greatest Importance, and
any step that would involve them In uncer-
tainty should be fairly considered before taxi
en-. Education has ever been regarded as the
"sheet-anchor Of the public welfare" the nee
essary security Of nations; especially this oi
ours. thus our common schools have be-
come businesses of our Republic, and to day
are the means of our success as a Govern
ment. Though they may be deficient in
many respects, I think the Legislature had
well done its duty before last winter. The
success of the school depends as much on the
parent as the teacher; and The reformation, il
such we may call IL, must begln at home; the
chief obstacle be ny the little interest taken
in the school, by the more enlightened portion
OF the community, though it Is noticed with
regret.
ers." do not dispute that, but do deny
that the present system puts US in way to
obtain th+m. To be sure, teachers have 10
be examined; but in a manner that does no.
compare with the thoroughness OF the old svs-
tenn, and it is very apparent that the teachers
hired by the Superintending School Commit
tee do not suit so well, aud that in many
schuols the quality is not so good as they are
accustomed to have, although the expense Is
greater.
The grading of the teachers by the Com
mitteo does not seem to be the fair thing
the best teacher 10 the best school, and so ON
through the whole catalo que of schools, until
the least advanced school is the recipient OF
the poorest teacher; for somehow poor teach
advanced schools neea the best teachers; and
