A DESERVED PROMOTION,

We are pleased to learn of the promo
ton of our friend Col. Isaac +. Kingsbury,
of Newton, Massachusetts, to be Assistant
Adjutant General of that state. The Militia
system of Massachusetts is the most SPLEEN
did and perfect of any in the Union. The
Office of Adjutant General is no s~inecure,
but its duties are complicated and import
ant. Col. Kingsbury was a gallant soldier
in the late war. He served with distinction
through its most e~ventful crisis, and bears
OF his person honorable scars. lie is a
true man, capable, and loyal to every good
cause, and we congratulate the state upon
securing his services in this important
Office. I'D h.

Nj SCHOOL BOARD CONTROVERSY.

Mr.. j. L. Williams makes a rejoinder in
yesterdays Dispatch, 10 Mayor Kelley,
and thus opens the fight again over the sec
tartan character of the Board of Education.
We have no'possible interest in the person.
alities of this contest, beyond our desire to
see faithful public servants justly credited
with their fidelity. But we have a deep
interest in the free schools of Richmond,
and of the whole State. We consider their
prosperity of more consequence than all
other interests combined. In fact we con-
ceive that the value of everything else de-
ponds upon their success in large measure.
We therefore deplore any attempt to weak
en- the public confidence in their manage
ment, which We personally knoso to be
emineatly impartial and grandly successful.
We especially protest against the intro
duction Of any sectarian test as utterly
subyersive of the harmony essential to the
Free School System. If we must make a
test as to members of the Board, the same
test must be applied to teachers, and each
sect must be allowed its due proportion.
How long would our schools survive such
treatment ? A religious test is no more
proper than o professional one. Indeed,
we might with much greater propriety in
sist that the trades and professions should
be represented pro rata, upon the basis OF
the last census. With the sectarian bias
of the Board we have nothing to do. We
care not if they are all Catholics or Jews,
Baptists Or Presbyterians or Methodists.
We have known very bad men who pro-
fessed religion under each of these names
We have known also men and women,
Catholics, Jews and Professionals, alike,
who adorned humanity by beautiful and
sanity lives. And we have learned that
under and through all forms lies, the ono
Religion, which the universal conscience re-
cognizes and accepts as the will of our
Common Father.
It Is to late in the century to revive ira
dictionary distinctions. The Spiiit of the
Age, humanizing Professionalism and Catho-
licism alike, guards each from the bigotry
and intolerance of the other, and levels down
the barriers of their exclusive claims.

HORACE GRLELEY said in his Boston
Jubilee speech the other day: ut would
seem a tolerable safe deduction that one
who has been doing well all his life that
which he has tried to do may possibly, may
reasonably be expected to do something
else if he were to undertake it," If this
is true in regard to himself, as he evidently
meant it to be inferred, why is it not also

The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-07-12

The only legitimate enquiry is, what has
the Board done? Have they shown q
purpose to stamp the schools with a de-
nominational character? The reports of
The sectarian preferences Of the teachers
are a triumphant vindication against such q
charge.
There were employed last year eighty
seven teachers in the public schools; Prot
e%stants, e~ighty-one ; Catholics, four Jews,
two. ,s,a g.Ir.sis
Teachers elected for next year-Protest-
ants, eighty; Catholics, four; Jews, one.
In addition to this, there are thirty eau
didates accepted by the Board for examina-
ton, from among whom all additional
teachers are to be elected, and these are
all Professionals.
Two vacancies have already occurred in
the Board, which it was empowered to fill.
Both these vacancies have been filed by
Protestants. .s
The Bible is recognized and has been
from the beginning in the schools, and every
teacher is provided with one at the expense
of the Board. No teacher has been re-
strained from using it as book Of devotion;
ard no action looking that way has ever
been introduced or discussed in the Board
Williams complain of the Board "as re.
Gently filled up" The 'alling up has con.
sisted in the election of four members,
: three of whom are Protestants and one
7 Jew, and the dangerous conduct of the
Board thus filled up, has been the election
of 80 Protestant to s non-P Protestant, and
the selection of thirty prospective candi-
( dates all of whom are Protestant.
, When Mr.. Williams states that Colone
: Shields, Colonel Knight, Mr.. Manly, Mr.,
Rady, and Mr.. Richardson-a majority O
the Board-are /" members of q ring
: and have entered into a religious conspira
. cy against his own faith, he is guilty o
q wanton insult to gentlemen whose
character is a sufficient vindication, ant
who have devoted their time to the cause
of education, at great personal sacrifice.
> These men, with the other members o
the Board, render a vast amount of gratu
itous service, administering a very higl
public trust.
Catholic and Protestant ladies', in severa
instances, have been united in conductin!
r the same school, and have labored in per
feet Christian harmony and with admirabl,
: success.
The schools are not seminarics of theolo
IS gy. They are gymnasia for mental train
. ing. They constitute the one sacre'
n neutral ground, where we can all meet an
labor. Let no man approach it, until h
e has put off the sandals of sect and party
While we thus cheerfully defend the pres
ent Board, from what we conceive to be a
u unjust attack, we shall be ready at all time
to publish any Just criticism upon thei
e conduct. We commend slecpless vigilanc
and argus eyed watchfulness, over thes
nurseries of our youth. Thus far, however
:, the administration of the schools of Rich
mond reflects the greatest credit upon tn
v Board Of Education, and the superintcnt
ent and teachers in its employ.
