ST. JOINS COMMERCIAL ACADEMY, DRYADKs
sTREET.-Among the many excellent Catholic
Parochial Schools of this city, there is mono
that has secured higher reputation than st.
Johns Commercial Academy, the parochial
school Of st. John the Baptist Parish, under
the charge of Prof. John Dimitry. Father J.
Moynihan, with whom all the interests of his
Parish assume paramount Importance, has
judged wisely in placing its educational mat
Gers under the charge of so competent
Principal as Mr.. Dimitry. Although young
man, Mr.. Din,itry has already achieved for
himself high reputation a scholar and
writer Having always prov ed himself, when
connected with the secular Press of this city,
an untiring and devoted champion of Catholic
interests, his present con necton with St.
Johns School affords him an opportunity of
marking his sympathy with the intellectual
progress of Catholic boys. AS u teacher, Mr.
Dimitry possesses many special characterize
les A firm believer in the progressive ten
denotes of the human mind, even in its earliest
stages, his aim is to make boys think-in the
first place, to think; in the next place, to
think-in the last place, to think. He regards
one single thought argued out clearly to its
legitimate limits, as better than all the theo-
ries of the schools. Each boy is thus made
the agent of his own improvement. For the boy
who thinks is the boy who improves, the world
over. Since it passed under Mr.. Dimitry's su-
perintendence on the 4th of last September,
st. Johns Academy has earned an enviable
standing. The discipline is strict, but not
stricter than is consistent with the substantial
progress of the pupils. The course of studies
is specially English, such as will best fit the
boys for the obligations of life in American
community The system pursued tends to
make them familiar with the principles of
arithmetic, with English spelling, with Eng
fish grammar and with English words and
their true force and Specification. In connec-
ton with the highest class, is a department of
bookkeeping, in which the pupils are given
an insight into commercial elements upon
which are based the prosperity of communi
ties. st. Johns Academy already numbers
some $50 pupils, in the control of whom Mr..
Dimitry is assisted by a corps of competent
teachers. With the Academy devoted to the
male youth of the Parish of st. John the Bap,
fist, and with the pious Sisters of St. Mary
Dominic to train and develop the intelligences
of the young girls, Father Moynihan may
justly claim to have placed the educational in =
terests intrusted to him on a firm and solid
basis. This school will reopen its session on
Tuesday, the Cd of January.

Public Schools.

No more fitting commentary could be
made on the absurdity of intermeddling,
ON the part of government, with the edu-
cation of children than the following, clip
ped from o recent number of the Times:
The Picayume joins in the complaint, long
schools Of this city have been "converted into
nurseries of Republican politics. They are
run entirely in the interests of radicalism, and
situations. To impose . general tax on the
public for their support, as now conducted, 10
. gross violation Of that republican principle
which recognizes consent es the only legsti-
mate basis of governmental authority. The
special point Of which our contemporary
makes complaint, arises from recent changes in
the corps of teachers in the Howard School.
by four white ladies, but the educational pow
ers-that-be have removed them and put the
school under the charge of three colored girls,
long holding the rank of principal in our pub
lie schools, in the primary department, subject
to the orders of this trio Of dusky graces..
Such facts show that caste Of the most dis
schools. It is high time that the whole school
question was remitted to the people.
We have often pointed out the result
herein depicted, as naturally bound to flow
from the organic defects of the system. It
is admitted by the Picayune, the champion
and admirer of that system, that the public
schools have been "converted into nurse
ries of Republican politics." yet how often,
and how vainly we have argued, that
schools under government control would
necessarily, sooner or later, be converted
into political engines to make positions for
party tools and to educate children with a
bias towards the dominant faction!
The principle underlying the whole
question, on the score of policy, is that the
government cannot be supposed to take as
earnest aud unselfish an interest in the
welfare of children as their own parents
would. Men will not, from official duty
be as scrupulous in securing the proper
persons to take charge of the children of
others, regardless of all questions except
purely that of their advantage, as they
will in the case of their own children.
We are willing to concede that there are
many worthy citizens who have shown a
public spirit in this regard, but
all are not SO jealous, and even with good
men the sense of duty might very often
fail where love of offspring would stimu
late to the most scrupulous care. Where
this defective principle is not called into
activity by grave clashing Of interests
among different classes of the community,
the evil may not become prominent for
long time, but as soon as there is an intes-
tine connection upon graver issues than
those of mere policy, as soon as there is
question of form Of govern ment, for in
stance. and Imperialists, Royalists, and
strive for mastery, as soon as
labor struggles with capital, creed with
creed or race with race for supremacy, the
public school must sink into mere party
prize and become an arena of fierce conten-.
ton.

ID-The consumption of artificial
flowers of all kinds, in the United
States, high and low cost, amounts
to something over SIS, 100000 worth
annually. They have been chiefly
made in France, but should be made
in this country. The business is in
every way respectable, and can be
done at home, thus supplying neat
artistic, and remunerative labor tc
a very large class of young women
who now produce nothing. The
business can be kept in this coun-
try by development, and will be Of
great value, because market might
be found for three times the amount
OF goods now sold in the whole coun-
