National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1872-12-17

In the House yesterday, as will be seen by
a reference to our Congress reports, there
was short debate on the District and It,
relations to the Government, which arose on
the proposition to reimburse the city authori-
tics for the moneys expended on the improve
ments around the public buildings and reser-
yations.
Mr.. FarnswOrth, Of Illinois, was about the
only man who opposed II, and the arguments
upon which he based his opposition were,
az may be naturally supposed, narrow
and unpatriOtc. 1t Ia, perhaps, only natu-
raj to expect that Mr.. Farnsworth could
not appreciate the feeling which an
American has in the capital Of his coun-
try, so that no one will he astonished At his
position on that point But Mr.. Farnsworth
had another objection: that his constituents In
Illinois should not be taxed TO pay for improve
monts in Washington. The result Of the late
elections In Illinois show, II we are not very
much mistaken, that the number Of Mr..
FarnswOrth's constituents In that particular
section might be put in good-sized omnibus.
The amount which the number Of his ad-
mirors will he called upon topay will, without
pretending to mathematical accuracy, he
about ten cents.
The general drift Of the discussion was,
with these solitary exceptions, all that could
be desired. General Garfield spoke strong,
hearty words for the District, for which not
only our own citizens but the majority Of the
people Of the country will, we arc certain,
thank him. Mr.. Maynard made some good
points; so did Mr.. Swami, Mr.. Wood and Mr..
NiblaCk. For the first time In good many
years Congress showed something like a
proper appreciation Of what the country owes
the capital.

Various attempts have been made 70 nX the

both as to time and circumstance, was related

Just after the eth OF March, 1885, Mr. schurE

The new senator IA always prey 10 these Opln-

TOPICS OF THE DAY.


The Salary QuestiOn.
The Defects Of the Common school System.
At the educational convention which Ia now
being held at 81. Louis, an interesting paper on
the above subject was read by Col. y. A. Seeley.
The first great defect In this gentlemans opinion
Is what he termed uncertainty OF aim in teach
ing which IL true not only Of the teachers, but
Of the textbooks. "BOOEwriRht and pedagogue, f."
he says, ego at the work a. a mere routine-sO
much page for the book, so much day for the
work. To reflect on the value to different pupils
Of different branches or courses Of study, or
upon the individual capacity or character or cir
cumstances Of the pupil, so that methods Of In
struCtlOn may he adapted 10 each, to ampfy the
text and WITTY the study out OF resources mac
cesslhle to the pupil, Is outside the teachers con-
tract
do not think Il entirely correct. We know a
large number Of teachers TO whom teaching IA
MT mere routine work, who take an honest
pride In their profession, and look for higher re-
wards than the uere dollars and cents which II
brings them. Hut we are afraid that II IL true OF
the majority Of persons engaged In education,
and Will, we suppose, be true to the end Of the
chapter. Mr.. Seeley objects 10 the Bpellng-hOOk
and the hard, dry tasks Imposed In II. As soon
az the rudlments are mastered, he thinks that II
should 90 hand In hand with reading As 70
arithmetic, II does not require q series Of books.
All that Il Is necessary TO know Of II could be
put In one small volume. In geography he he
lieves that the old system was Infinitely better
than the new, and the textbook should be only
a Key 10 the maps which should he as numerous
as possible In the schOOl-rOOm. Grammar, N II
Is now taught, Is another most aggrayatlng In

THE TERRITORY or CoLoRADo, which Is
now asking to be admitted into the family OF
the States, would seem to be thrifty young
sister. In seven or eight years she has trebled
her population, has now nearly five hundred
miles Of railway, to which will be added two
hundred and fifty next year, while the as
sessed value Of her property is over thirty-one
millions Of dollars. In addition to ALL she Is
entirely ont Of debt, and has snug little
dowry Of fifty thousand dollars at her bank
crs. We move that she be admitted.
