Among Its other advantages as q place Oh
residence 1t may be fairly claimed for Charles
ton that few cities of its size In the united
! States furnish such excellent and extensive
| facilities for the education of children as are
| afforded in the numerous private schools and
academies In this city. The people OF
| Charleston have always been Jealous In the
cause of popular education. and the pubic
| school system of the city, before the war; was
a matter of no small pride to Its citizens.
| Those schools have been maintained, al
| though with many notifications, necessitated
| by an altered condition OF society, and IN
| spite of many endorsements unfortunately
| brought about by the venaltty and Ignorance
| OF some of the State officials. 1t has involved
much paInstaklng, forbearance and lberallty
upon the part OF our white citizens and their
officials to preserve the public SCHOOLS
which they have looked upen as the
safeguards of the future social faorici
but they have been preserved, and 1t Is sale
to predict that they will be sustained by
our philosophical citizens v In lace OF
such shameless DISQUALIFICATION of the
school funds as has been witnessed In the
past, II such INSTRUMENTATION should con-
tipue or recur. These schools, however, are
insufficient to supply all the demands for edu'
cational facllitlesi in Charleston, and they arc
admirably supplemented by a number OF e1-
cellent private institutions, Of which the ad
yerlisIpg columns OF The NEWS always a
faithful index of the clty's progress) have
giving during the past week On ample cata-
logue. Ia most of these schools the summer
vacation terminates and the exercises of the
fall term commences to-day. and In most OF
the others the exercises will be resumedinext
Monday. These Institutions T.. Hish every
grade of instruction, below collegiate, to be
found In this country, and they may be relied
upon as good and efficient places of instruc-
tIon in their respective grades and studies.
Many of them receive boarding pupils, and all
have achieved the reputation of care In the
formation Of department and moral culture as
we'll as In impartlng the routine knowledge of
the school.room. The prices OF tuition range
from two dollars and fifty cent? per term IN
the primary departments Of some Of the
schools up to about twelve dollars per term
for the higher branches, with additional
charges of course for such ornamental studies
or accomplishments as are classed as ''exlras."
1t does not follow, however, that the schools
which announce the lower prices Of tuition
are necessarily Inferior to their niger priced
rivals, for many of the former are In possess
sion of endowments aud other facilities which
allow them to make their charges very reason
able without Impslring the efficiency Of the
institution, and, indeed, some OF the free pri-
yate schools, or those where benedoiarles of
the churches are placed, are entitled to the
highest rank among the private institutions OF
the city.
