PRIVATE AND INCORPORATED SCHOOLS.

PRIVATE AND INCORPORATED SCHOOLS.
THEIR RELATIVE MERITs-sUPERIOR ADVANTAGES
CLAIMED FOR THR LATTER
To the EditOr Of The Tribune.
SIR: Concerning your article " 10 parents
ana guardians" permit me to suggest that while the
existing high schools all less open 70 the
objection you make-tOO much crdm-the instruction in
incorporated schools is generally better than that in
prlvate schools and for this simple reason In private
school the principal is responsible to nobody except
parents a majority OF whom never take the trouble 10
examine their children, whereas in an incorporated
academy teachers responsible to the trustees
who at least attend the examinations. In the former
the principal goes in for making all the money he can
consequently is for his interest TO get as many pupils
as possible and employ few teachers at pay In
the incorporated school, especially If it is endowed TO
any extent not dependent on the number
Of scholars. Their chance Of promotion depends more
upon the quality Of their teaching than the quantity
taught.
To be prominent teacher at Exeter or Andover is
passport TO pTofessorship IN college. The trustees
OF such schools not give much personal attention
10 the institution, but let vacancy occur and in filling
Il the reputation OF the school becomes matter Of
much pride the corporation of college Let any
one 20 in search OF school where his boy be fitted
for college and this will be apparent. The best fitted
Freshmen Yale Harvard, and Princeton, are those
which come from incorporated schools. such Dwight
Grammar School, Exeter, and AndOyer.
There are exceptions OF course, but this lie generally
true and no doubt McCosh speaks from his expert
ence as President al Princeton. The trouble in this
State is that many respectable academies have been
turned into poor colleges, 10 crafty the pride Of
neighborhoOd. OF corps OF instructors who banker
after the title OF professor and desire 10 scatter d. DIS
have too many colleges and too few high schools

may be obtained from justices OF the peace OF poAco
magistrates.

the making of law so retroactive the recognized

OF the unfortunate kept custody oris 1t wantsd

any person among the future suspected insane would
certainly be better secured by daily diagnosis made in
the asvlun, since medical officers would narrowly and
carefully observe all the phenomena-about winch
symptoms any expert let it be the most experienced
might have reasonable doubts after short examina
ton.
Anybody can understand why medical superintend-
ent ought to be the responsible sworn officer who ad
nits rejects discharges patient committed TO his
Physicians might wish to see also whether such
bill has other possible aim for instance, that of
recompensing doctors who have dedicated their time
and money TO the special study Of insanity. II so, the
bill would have stated what conditions such prefer
ence and privilege could be oDtaned-say pubic eXam'
ination competition among candidates &c. But no,
the bill proposes to give the nomination TO political

observer knows the practical result OF such bill

SUCH ACTION WOULD BE CONSIDERED APPRo-
PIRATE
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: The Massachusetts, Legislature has bal
1oted several times to elect Senator I'LL the seat
made vacant by the death Of the Hon. Charles Sumner
u is quite evident that Of the three most prom
nent candidates can be elected, aud that some other
person Will have agreed upon. The coored people
,lroposed the War Governor, John A. Andrew: they
now propose Wendell Phillips TO succeed Charles sum
ncr Let us consider the proprety Of the suggestion
The people OF Massachusetts have lately paid such
respect virtue intelligence, and patriotism IN cOnnec
zion with the burial Of the late Senator as might be
referred TO with pide by any people Further evidence
of their appreciation OF these virtues would be gwen by
selecting Wendell Phillips as the successor of Charles
Sumner There are several why Massachusetts
should select him. His UNREASONABLE and answering
Integrity; his patiotism; his very marked ability; ms
agreeing with Charles sumner on all the questions that
were dearest to the departed his intimate relation to the
policy marked out by late Senators his devotion and
sacrifices affecting freedom and equalty-these are
eome OF the great considerations which may be ad-
dressed to Republicans who can elect him for the re-
snander Of Charles summers term His election would
he q breakwater against the food Of charges setting
lie same TO he mostly urged from partisan consdcra-
lions aud for partisan purposes but 1t Is the greatest
danger threatening the party Inc seecloh ol nenuSn

art OF The colorcc people make IL nsideraOn;
1t would attract favorable comment for the party IRON
those who would affiliate generally with reform move.
nents outside of the party wendell Phlhps favored
zhe election OF the Administration and sustalns kindly
relations with IT, All OF the cOntendlng parties OF he
Legislature have confidence in h1 ana admit MS perfect
Integrity and ability. Tue Democrats, who nave no
chance of eecug their candidate are waiting an APP
proach from the stants with Il person VINO tney

lips as the party did to Charles sumner "nen hc was
