HE PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARI.

Many of our readers, upon pe,using
the above title, will ask where this insti-
tuition may. be situated, how many VOL
umes it may contain, upon what terms
its literary treasures are open to the pub
lie, and other questions of similar
nature, springing from their knowledge
of public libraries in other places. To
such questions the answers would neces-
sarily be vague and unsatisfactory.
The collection Of miscellaneous vol
umes, dignifed with the tile of the
Public School Library, is to be found
in large room on the main floor Of the
City Hall, Immediately opposite tie
Mayors Office. It is presided over by q
librarian and assistant librarian, and
visited chiefly by very young persons,
whose appetite for literature is more
ravenous than dainty, being mainly
CT 'morous for ''stories." With these the
! Juvenile department is tolerably well
supplied; and if the second or third vol
umes Of series should be missing, there
are SO many of the same sort procurable

THE PRINTING Law.

We know, and the Times knows, that
some of the most active enemies that
now beset the Governor are men who have
been refused printing contracts. And the
Times knows that the Governor has made
other enemies by refusing to sign the &C.
counts of men who have done printing for
the State under contracts which they never
complied with in the manner required by
the law. And, still further, the Times
knows that one Of the prime causes Of
the prosecution of Wickliffe was that be
paid for printing, and divided with the
payees, contrary to the opinion of the Gov
ernor throughout. And the Times knows,
yet more, that Governor Warmoth has re-
fused to contract for printing with some of
his best supporters, taking the risk of
making more enemies rather than consent
to further raids upon the treasury in the
name of the printing law And what is
still more plain to the knowledge of the
Times, the patronage which the Governor
might have abused in this way, and which
he would have abused if he had been con-
sttuted as Carter was, or had been TIE cor
rupt officer that he is charged with being,
he has persistently refused to dispense,
either to preserve his friends or seduce his
enemies. There are some more things the
Times knows, but this will do at present.

that these uncritical students of fiction
need not leave |unsatisfed. They can
take what is offered them without much
regard to its literary value, and mako the
best of it.
In addition to the juvenile department,
the room devoted to the literary catering
OF this goodly city contains many others,
duly marked History "Science, :"
''Theology," Fiction, etc. all of which
are furnished with odd volumes, treating
on the various topics indicated in the
name of their respective departments. AS
for current literature, nothing of the sort
is to be found in this soi-Gisant library, no
additions of any consequence having been
made to it in twenty-five years. In its
present condition it is, in fact, not
library, but the remains of one, and of
very incomplete one at that. Out of those
remains something might undoubtedly be
constructed, but the construction would
involve labor, energy and means. The
rubbish on the ground should be carefully
examined; that which is of value retained
and rearranged; that which is worthless
carted off. The remaining matter would
doubtless appear discouragingly insight
fcant but it would, at all events, be no
longer snare for the unwary: and those
who might patronize the institution would
have the assurance that on returning the
first volume Of a work there was fair
chance Of obtaining the second, which is
not the case at present.
The next step necessary would be to
arouse the interests Of those for whose
benefit the library was mainly insti-
tuted-the children Of the public schools
and their parents. These should be in
vited and urged to subscribe, to become
life members, and the money arising
from this source whether much or little)
should be judiciously expended in making
the library noteworthy of support. The
committee in the school board entrusted
with the care of this matter should de-
vote time and thought and energy 70 its
interests; should take steps to enlist the
aid of the public; should, in short, do
something to manifest their own zeal in
the matter, and to awaken that of others |
One thing is certain, in its present con-
lition, the public school library" is a |
disgrace to the city,

OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.

We regret to notice that the Ptcauiras
recommends, by way Of reform, the repeal
Of the school laws:
Abolish the whole costly machinery of
the arbitrary, unsatisfactory, oppressive and
costly school law.
If there is anything in the school law
that is Objectionable to any citizen, it
should be pointed out, with the view of
amending it. Probably no system is quite
perfect at first; but the proper remedy is to
make such changes as will cure defects. It
is certainly an unwise suggestion that pro-
poses to abolish the school law The pub
lie schools are the means by which our
youth are instructed in the duties Of citi-
zenship. The colored people, and the
poor white classes have no other source to
look to for the education Of their children.
and are not likely to consent to the aboli-
ton Of a system that is placing their chill
dren on an equality with those of the rich
We have reason to believe that our school
system is regarded 10y the colored people
with veneration amounting almost to
religious sentiment, and any attempt to
deprive them of it will meet with stubborn
opposition. In this they will be joined by
their heighbors who are in the same conGi-
ton as to pecuniary resources.
Probably not one-ffth of the people of
the State would consent to see the school
laws abolished, and they are actuated by
motives not approved by sound statesman
ship, or compatible with good citizenship.

LOST. sTRAYED Or STOLEN.

The Garter Legislature has again disap-
peared from public gaze, and our shrewd-
est reporter is so far unable to locate their
whereabouts. From the Gem they fed to
Marshal Packard's private Office in the

authenticated rumor last evening indicated
that their natural instincts again prevailed.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE LAW,

The Times declares that Governor War
moth has declined to advocate the repeal
of the Metropolitan Police law, when it is
e notorious fact that at the Last session of
the Legislature the Governor did use his
influence TO that very end, and was sec
onded by repeated appeals from this paper
to the Legislature to the same effect. And
he not only suggested a repeal Of the law
at the last session, but he has repeated his
recommendation in his last message, which
was printed four days ago in the Times
itself. Is this not enough? What more
can man 90 than the Governor has done
in the very direction which the Times is
anxious for reform?
