Now we will just cause the good points of
the public schools to pass in review They
are like the public lamps in great city on
a dark night-they throw light into the sur
rounding gloom and keep tire people from
stumbling They also, like the lamps, drive
back thieves, robbers, and all human pests
generally.
Suppose another Atilla with his Huns was
TO come, as in the days of Rome, and over
turn all that is good in the landi Our pub
lie schools would then be swept out of exist
ence. No more would the happy faces of
childhood go forth in the morning to join in
the soulennOhling exercise of knowledge.
No! they would then remain at home 70 tease
fretful mothers, quarrel among themselves,
and grow up, like weeds, without cultiva-
ton. We would return again to the tOibes
and errors of Our fathers, and place stone
in one end of the bag to balance the corn in
the other while carrying it to mill on the old
mare.
Another good point or characteristic of
the public schools is that they educate the
public and enable them TO govern themselves.
If every voter was properly educated he
could not be duped into casting a wrong bal
lot. And still another good effect of our
schools is that they give To the mind of the
p1tbfc strength, aptitude and material to en-
able it to enjoy lirjRg in this beautiful world.
man may work, eat, exist, sleep and enjoy
life animal, but he is something more
than an animal, or else his powers belle him.
Would man construct a machine with APP
utudes for other operations than those lie
wished it to perform? We think not. So
it seems to he a rational conclusion that a
man should be so educated that he can look
up through nature TO natures God.
And, lastly, what blank this world would
be without our schools. Why, they one
of our dearest institutions. Where is the
man who does not look back TO his school
days with emotions of tenderness and plea
sure? 1 am sure the people of the United
States could not think of doing without
them.
Those who do not like our public schools
had better let well enough alone and try TO
improve what is not exactly up TO the mark

STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS.

To the Editor Of the Cambria Freeman:
DEAR SIR-Somebody has been reviewing
the system of Normal Schools in our State
in the Johnstown Tribune. My only hope is
that he may continue his criticisms until he
calls the attention of Our representative and
other members of the Legislature to the in
justice of the laws relating to State Normal
Schools.
With your permission I Will briefly point
out a few objections to the law, and, in SO
doing, do not wish TO be understood as cen
suring the system of normal training, nor
normal graduates.
l. The law gives a monopoly in every dis
trict to one corporation. This district il com
posed OF Cambria, Indiana, Armstrong and
WeStmOreland counties. Indiana county
has commenced the erection of buildings,
and when the school is once recognized no
other school of the kind dare be established
in the district. This is manifestly wrong.
z. Each of these schools draws public
money for it's support. There are twelve
districts in the State, six of which have
schools in operation. These six schools have
already drawn S2S4, 600 from the public
treasury. while they have graduated only
forty-eight pupils in the classical or scien-
tific course. They have been in operation
from two to fourteen years and this has been
the result
3. They graduate pupils in the primary
branches, the same as if colleges would grad
uate their freshmen or their sophonlores. This
seems to me to be simply ridiculous.
4. The law exempts all their graduates
from a re-examination. Even those who
graduated in the elementary branches are
free from further examination.
9Th. The law gives these graduates the
most prominent positions on teachers COM
mittees in every county, no matter whether
they are better qualified not. This is an
outrage
6. The normal professors, or some of them
at least, are a pretenSiOuS set of men. They
profess TO know more than anybody else
The professor of mathematics at the AIllers-
Vile Normal School has been IlGuSeutiHg
every body by theorizing on yepete,ld deciH0ls
and trying to aSsimilate them to the com
mon fraction. The last Normal Monthly has
two columns and half trying to change the
decimal system to purely fractional system.
Reading his productions reminds one of pc
rusing ''Much Ado a bout Nothing" There
is nothing new about this. 1t merely takes
away the characteristics of decimals and eN-
presses the value of repedents i'll common
fractions. Verify this is is the age of hum
bugs QUIS.

THE OTHER SIDE AGAIN.

To the Editor Of the Cambria Freeman;
DEAR SIR-The public schools, see, have
again been assaied, and from another point
The friends of our schools, it seems, would
first make them odious in the sight OF the
public, if possible but that is easier tired
than DONE for there are too many sensible
people in the country.
Some one has said that the pabiic schools
are irrcligious, immoral, heathenlSh, etc
Now how can that be when the teachers the
Dupils and the patrons are all moral! Again,
ali the school books are moral In their ten
dencies There is not an immoral exercise re g
in any of them. Can any one GlSprove 1his:
Tben. Us teachers pupils and patrons, as
VOL as the textbooks, ara generally moral,
how can The schools he immoral or lrrell,
pious? When every part "i q 'llihg Is soo'
ho,r can il be bad whole
am sure that the parents ana pnplis OF
Cambria county will not aeknowledge I'M
morality or irrel gion; neither VIII me
nlo l.. ani the textbooks will speak for them
selves. So All the parts are moral anu 'he
whole is moral.

DEAR FREEsc from all quar-
ters is what Is wished for by the editor of a
country journal, and therefore, in order to
assist In filling your columns, l again pen Il
few lines
Christmas, the annual festival of joy and
gladneSs 10 every Christian heart, was spenl
Eere in 4 respectable and becoming manner.
L feel pride in having this to say, iuasmuCh
as some of the newspapers have been doing
their utmost 70 establish disgracefnl char
acter for our aintly-nalned village. In JUS
lice to our citizens generally | must here
say that they do not deserve the reputation
Wholesome newspaper reporters,have given
them. l am free to admit that King Alco-
hol has been the means of leading some of
orr boys into trouble and spelling the Dhy-
siOguom!es of others while under his infiu-
enCe. To his damning influence You can
safely lay all the blame if we are in any way
deserving of the contuInely which has been
heaped upon uS.
To myself personally Christmas this time
was n day of sorrow rather than of joy, aa
it brought fresh to my memory the death of
n sou whom l dearly loved. None enjoyed
the pleasures of Christmas more than he.
Our worthy council have organized and
drafted ordinances for the preservation of
order in the new borough of Gallitzin which
/ think will meet with the appreciation OF
all concerned.
We have no Castle Honacker, or rather
should now say Castle Baumer, but We have
Castle Burns. 1t has had no inmate as
yet, however, and it is to be hoped that it
will never have any.
Quite excitement has been prevailing
in railroad circles on account of a reduction
of ten per cent in the wages of the employ
ees. 1t is quite mystery TO know how Il
laboring man with large family can sup
port them ON an income OF only one dollar
and eight cents per day.
The Campbell Brothers have completed
the contract of grading a side track through
the deep cut west OF Gailitzin, and it is now
ready for the ballast. L. j. =.

THE TRAVELLERS INSURANCE COMPANY,
Hartford, CONN.-Mrs. Mary Davis, the
estimable widow of VIM. ID. Davis, decd,
desires to express her profound gratitude 10
John E. Roberts, Esq, local agent of the
above Company, and through him to the
Company itself, for the prompt manner in
which the insurance $4,000 on her hus-
bands life has been paid for the benefit of
herself and fatherless children. Consider
ing the peculiarly unfortunate manner in
which Mr.. d. lost his life, this action of the
Company, which might have resorted to
protracted litigation and perhaps defeated
the claim, is worthy of ali praise, AMI the
grateful widow feels that in justice to the
Company she should inform the public of
its generous conduct towards her.
