Common Schools.

Who shall select the teacher, of our
Public schools, (sehsol Committees, or
School Agents. is a question, which. Z,
Late, TO some extent, has occupied the
public mind.
Ii IS not alway- easy Tor men to allow
themselves To be controlled by pure rcas-
on. Feeling, prejudice, old usagcs thrust
themselves into ur Investigations, and
oostruct the pathway to the truth. Es-
pee tally are We too apt to cling to what
we have been accustomed TO. All do Not
possess the firm mental grasp. aud the
clear conception, tat enables them to
ioresee the results of an untried p,au.
and old things are adhered to merely be-
cause they are old
These influences have doubtless acted
more or less upon the popular mind. and
h,ae prevented that decisive response in
favor OF giving to Comm tees the selec
lion OF teachers. which. mi. lat otherwise
have been expected.
That the change OF the law In this be.
half. made last winter, will ultimately
commend itself to the sound Judgment
the people. we cannot doubt
Already the whole oversight of our
Common Schools is given by Law to the
Committees. They are ch ,sen with refer
rnce 10 their knowledge of schools, their
general intelligence and literary qualifica-
tons. They select text books, anu deter
nine the course Of instruction. are sup
osed TO be possessed of sound ideas, and
principles, upon the subject If popular
ducation, and these. it is expected, they
will have acted npon. by teachers in the
.chool room. In short, all the authorit,
IA regard to the internal management of
he schools, has heretofore been entrusted
o them by law.
School Agents. on the other hand. are
aot chosen with reference to any Of these
hings. Is it not apparent Their, that those
Who have the oversight OF schools. should
'iso have the power II selecting those who
are To conduct the schools under them
Are not those vino have ,rrect ideas And
Principles Of education themselves. hest
capable of judging who csn best carry ont

Ellsworth American., 1871-02-09

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York 7ITbaae sends to that paper the
following statement Of the decline of
American c0mmerce =
..'rhe Secretary OF the Treasury has
transmitted TO the House Of Representa-
,ives the report OF Joseph Nilnmo. jr.
Chief OF the Division Of Tonna3e. from
which 1t appears that OF the total tonnage
catered at the poris of Great Britain dur
ing the year 1869. Is per cent. was British,
) per cent. American. and 70 per cent.
from other foreign countries; and ais, Of
the total tonnage entered at the ports of
the United States during the year ending
June 3J. 1870. 80 per cent. was American.
IL per cent British. and |. per cent. from
other fofeigt countries. Thus. the British
tonnage in the commerce OF Great Britain.
mas risen from ~ per cent. IN 1855, to s.
per ccht. In 1869, whereas American ton
maze has fallen of about one half what IL
was in lS'5. We have but So per cent Of
the shipping enga scd In our foreign com
ncrce uadtr our own fiag, while England
ha- about 20 per cent. OF the shipping In
per foreign commerce under her flag.
these facts are graphically stated In
charts numbers $ and .. which. the author
says. tell the whole story of our CONNER
ciai downfall aud OF Eiglands commer-
cal triumph. 1t further appears that
since 1860 American shipping in our
foreign trade has fallen of one half. and
thai British tonnage has increased nearly
iOo per cent. The question. therefore, he
remarks. in the upbul,ling ofour merchant
marine. Is not. how shall we protect our
shipping interests against foreign coui-
prtiIion. but. how shall we protect IL
against British competition? The causes Of
lhe supersedure OF American by British
:. iiS IN the international commerce of the
globe ar- IA follows:
''l-' England was about 10 years ahead
OF the United States in establishing steam
navigation. 2d. The policy OF granting
subsidies to ocean steam line- has been
maintained by England from the beginning
To th" present time. and this policy has
contributed greatly 10 the success of her
ocean steam marine. Sd. 4 rery important
ddrTHtI1e possess~d by Grsrt Brit,!iH consists
"a h' high rate of iafer,a ,chich pr.rans in
hs country. and consequently higher rates
"i profits required on investments. A
fourth cause of oar failure arises from the
difference IN the amount of direct taxation
Ia England and IN the United States. 4
lilh and the chief cauSc[ :lAi present of
oar inability 10 compete with England.
consists in the greater cost OF building
>h'p> IN the United States. 4 sixth, aud
- important advantage possessed by
British ship, consists ia the rebate of duty
allowed on imported goods used on ship
board: aud a seventh cause Of the decline
oi American shipping consists in the direct
and persistent opposition OF certain foreign
