PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The scholastic year of New Orleans has
now terminated, and for two months to
come teachers and pupils will have OPP
portunity to enjoy that relaxation SO de-
sirable after months of study and atten-
ton to duty.
The schools have been conducted, dur
ing the past year, under disadvantages
hardly necessary to dwell upon except 1t
be to strengthen the fact that the year
has been one of progress, rotwithstand-
ing
The scholarship exhibited at the vari-
GUS examinations proves that there has
been no falling off in respect to attain
ment or the ability of the teachers to i'm
part instruction.
The primary difficulty with which the
schools have had to contend is, OF course,
want of money; and hence the employees
of the schools have been both scantly
and tardily paid, while for the same want
of means the school buildings have been
suffered to remain without necessary re-
airs, amounting to absolute dilapidation.
The teachers have borne their own priva-
tons with fortitude, even cheerfulness,
that certainly merits all praise and the
good will of the board of directors; and
they have uncomplainingly submitted to
numerous inconvenience arising from
buildings unfit for use for want Of refitting.
The present board of directors have
taken hold of their appointed work in a
hopeful spirit, and with the apparent in
tention to do all that can be done to give
our system of public education the fullest
efficiency. To this end they are induet-
ing the principle to make competency in
the most extended sense of the word, the
sole guide in the selection of teachers.
The directors intend, also, to institute
the principle of permanency of position
for the employees of the schools, subject
to no caprice, and undisturbed by favor
itism. The institutions for the instruc-
ton of the young are no subjects for
party politics or politics Of any kind.
The board of directors are fully awake
to this, and their course SO far has
shown it,
The resolutions introduced by Judge
Dibble and passed at the last meeting of
the board are a move in the right direc-
ton, as they will obviate great degree
of discomfort connected with the season
at which the examinations have heretofore
been held.
There is one important matter which
will no doubt receive the earnest attention
of the board, and be carried out as far as
practicable at the present time. That is
the adjustment of the existing system of
rentals, and the erection, as fast as means
will permit, of suitable school buildings
to be owned by the public. We speak in
no spirit of censure against former school
boards. 1t is right to believe that they
did their best under the circumstances,
but the system of spending large annual
sums for rents is not the less mischiev-
Gus one. For it can not be denied that
many of the houses which the directors
have been compelled to use are rented for
sums out of proportion to their value.
1t will, of course, take time to reform
this, but it should, and no doubt will, be
we'll looked into by the board, with a
view to future operations.

nor figs of thistles, and, though it not
unfrequently happens that very sour
grapes and very insipid figs are sometimes
found in conspicuous places, yet the poor
est fruit is better than thorns and thistles.
Parties being composed of the ordinary
run Of mankind, are necessarily hedged
in by limitations, disfgured by inconsist-
encies, misled sometimes by unscrupu-
lous leaders; but, on the whole, they
maintain certain principles, the adhering
to which holds them together, and while
they retain their vitality, the various con-
fiicting elements which disturb their I'M
dercurrent are permitted to come to the
surface Party unity is universally recog-
nized as indispensable to party success.
The Republican party of this country
represents certain great principles, the
triumph of which in the nation and in
the State is believed by every true Re-
publican to have been the salvation Of
the country During the trying times
through which we have passed, the sup
port of these principles enlisted the devo-
ton of every member of the party, so that
minor questions were not allowed to dis
turb its harmony The sound old motto,
principles, not men" heartily carried
out, has produced reform, which, if pre-
dicted twelve years ago, would have sub
jected their predictor to the imputation of
insanity. And are these principles not
as well worth preserving as they were
worth establishing and is the unity
which succeeded in the first to be aban-
doned now, with an ever watchful
adversary waiting to profit by every
misstep? Are factional squabbles and
personal pique to absorb the time and at
tention of the Republicans of Louisiana,
introducing dissensions into its ranks on
purely private and individual grounds, no
party principle being at stake? So our
ill-wishers say, but it is not 50. The Re
publican party in this State has too much
at stake to risk the loss of its present as
tendency by divisions in the interests of
any men or of any cliques. 1t is COM
posed of intelligent and resolute men,
who know the importance of the prin-
ciples and the interests involved in the
maintenance of that ascendency, and who
will not permit themselves to be made
tools for factional purposes. The man or
the set OF men who should make such an
attempt would earn by it only defeat and
infamy
