PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Some good men are opposed to free
schools. They are honest in their opin
ions, no doubt. We have no disposition
to quarrel with any one who may see
proper to oppose public schools. But we
suggest that seldshness, or something close
kin to 1t, is at the bottom of the opposition.
The objection urged against them is tba
one man is taxed to educate another mans
child. That is true, but where is the
validity Of the objection? Is not one
man taxed to pay for the prosecution Of
other mems crimes? Is not one man
taxed to build and repair the roads which
his neighbor uses more than himself ?
Why not object to these things! 1t is
natural for some meh to raise objections
against the education Of the people.
They con not help it, because they dislike
to see their neighbors prosper and to see
their neighbors' children educated. What
Is it that Is at the bottom Of the objection,
if not selfshness?

PRIVATE SCHOOLS .

Some enterprising teacher might make
a profitable investment in a Private
School of high grade. There is a demand
for such a school in the county. It
would be largely ~patrcnized, if properly
conducted. Such q school "a the inter-
est of education demands should be above,
and, as it were, resting upon the school
system. 1t is not possible for a private
school occupying the same ground as pub.
lie school to succeed to any considerable
extent. 1t is not desirable that it should
succeed. The better clsss Of our public
schools are superior to any private schools
heretofore carried in the county, Meth.
or have private schools ever been able
to compete successfully with an efficient
system of free public schools. There is
ground not occupied by our school system
in which a good private school might sue.
Deed we'll. We hope to see this ground
occupied. There are many pupils now
in the schools who desire something more
than can be obtained in these schools
Here is a field for private enterprise
None but a school Of high grade need be
attempted. There is an urgent necessity
for one or more such schools. Any effort
to put on foot such an enterprise, will
meet our appreciation and receive our
hearty support. There is a necessity for
public schools, and private schools have
their legitimate work as well,

The author has succeeded in making a

method Of teaching is presented. There
are many devices used to interest the
