PUBLIC SCHOOL EXHIBITIONS.

review OF the interesting exercises
winch concluded the scholastic wear of the
various intermediate schools shows that in
point OF numbers in attendance they are as
prosperous as ever, in point of scholarship
oe''er, IN discipline good as at any other
Tune. The efforts of narrow minds
10 destroy the system have been un-
successful, and every true lover of
ms country and of his people should feel a
PRIDE that the system, from the many at
tacks it has withstood, and assailants that
have been humbled in the dust before it,
sun rears its head proudly and dcfantly;
SIN continues the great work of elevating
the masses
10 enter into details may be impossible,
put the fact that the system still defies its
enemies is indisputable. The schools of
the late City of Jefferson, now the Sixth
District are thronged with children. Here
no dissensions reach. But the buildings in
winch education is carried on, not being
the exclusive property of the system, are,
even when in good condition, subjected to
certain troubles and annoyances which the
friends of the school would like to see re-
moved. Where a school is held in church
there are many losses of books and school
furniture, which of course is presumed to
happen where each can Law blame on the
other. Then the unsatisfactory buildings
rented for school purposes in all of the
districts, the leaky condition of the old
roofs, the rotten and decaying floors, the
shakF perpendicular of the stairs, the damp
and moldy walls, the miserable accommo-
dations for beasts, not to mention human
beings. We do not suppose there is one
building rented for school purposes that is
mt and proper, unless it be the Beauregard
school Where thestructure is good it is too
small; where it Is large enough it is too bad:
and any one who has visited the many in
stitutions under pay must be satisfied of the
truth of these statements What is wanted
before dollar is spent for. the 1uxuries of
education are good school buildings, on the
basis of one for each Thousand of educable
children, statistics showing that one-half of
the educable children are in actual atten-
dance, and five hundred pupils being full as
many as school building should contain.
The miserable shanties and barns now in
use should be discontinued as fast as pre-
vious engagements will admit. Thirty thou
sand dollars or more being paid for rent of
these buildings on leases covenanted by the
predecessors of the present school manage
ment, it will be seen that three good school
houses could be built each year with this
amount, or else temporary buildings might
be built to satisfy educational demands.
The crying sin of the system is the made
quate accommodations for at least one-half
of the attendant pupils in the city division.
In the reports from the various schools
| during the past week many interesting de-
tails were omitted owing to peculiar inter
ruptions in the course of publication. 1t is
with great pleasure that the omissions are
now supplied.
