OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
To the Editor Of Tie Tribune.
CHICAGO, June 1--WE venture the assertion
that there is no city in tho Union whose chill
dren are in the enjoyment Of so many privileges
at so small q cost as arc furnished those Of this
city by our educational department. Seventeen
or several times seventeen cities can doubtless
be named that do not spend ns much money per
pupil as does Chicago, but Chicago would not
consent to comparison with any one Of them
In anything else. Ten cities include all that we
can afford to compare our city vi b.
The question as to whether these privileges,
in anything like their present worth, shall be
continued to our children, or shall be almost
completely destroyed, is without doubt the one
which the Board OF Education are now having
Able Superintendcnts have had these schools
in charge for nearly score OF years; mcn who
have devoted the best part Of their lives to the
one cause Of public instruction, having noted 1T,
into our system the best principles that have
been tested in all the older aud large cities OF
the Union.
Must VIC now be forced again nearly or quite
to the foot Of the ladder, to learn anew that the
''three Rs u do not embrace all that Is needed
for one successfully to fight the bnttle OF lfes
Are we aiming to find out how little VIC may
furnish to our youth, that they may barely be
enabled to earn thetr daily bread, or Is it our
purpose to raise up 8 generation after us that
shall possess higher civilization and enjoy q
more cultivated state Of refinement than that Of
the present day2 ..
Oiir present Superintendent has incorporated
into our system Of public instruction elements
that can never be appreciated except by those
who are rcaping the advantages OF them, ana We
would say to all those who have children In the
enjoyment Of these privileges, Be sure ana
bring such an influence to bear upon the mem-

BUILDING LOAN ASSOCIATIONS.
II the Editor Of tbs Tribune.

40 ME EHlIOF " IH6 A51oHHG.
CHICAGO. june 17.-Can you give some in
formation on the subject of Building and
Loan Associations. They ought to be q
good thing for men OF my class, If the
law of this State is correct and they arc
properly managed; bnt, after seeing the
officers Of one in this city, cannot reconcile
some things about them. l am young mar
ricd man on moderate salary, and my object,
SO far as present savings are concerned, Is, first
to obtain home, stop paying rent, and gain
something IN the rise OF real estate. can make
reasonably small payments every week or month,
or deposits, or whatever these associations
choose to call the paying-tn process, but l want
a present advantage from these, or the
building part Of any association is a fraud.
I ask such an association for loan, and am
told that I can get 1t by bidding for the
"preferencc y; this seems to mean u premium
OF, say, 80 per cent, and after that 10 per cent
interest payable monthly. I could and would
do the latter, but it docs seem to mo that the
30 per cent for the "preferencc puts me fear
fully "in the box" That is, It must be much
better thing for the man who does not borrow
than for me. or course, there must be some
who borrow aud some who do not to make
successful institution, but I do not want to be
beaten By any one any more tlmn do by land
lords. Il you can explain the equity OF these
associations should think them much better
for small savings tlun any savings bank.

ber OF pupils each teacher shall have, but TO
virtually deprive every school Of the advantages
ofa Principal. Aschool offrom twelve to twenty
four different divisions must possess some rul-
ing head familiar with every part OF it, or We
NAV look for nothing short OF denomination,
npd largely waste of what money is expended
Can person be presumed to be able to be-
come acquainted with his school so as i'll
telgentlY to control Its affairs, IT he shall be SO
tied down to one OF the rooms ns to give HIM
no opportunity to look in upon the other
rooms while in session during the entire year!
Take, for instance, one OF our large South
Side schools, with its nineteen rooms, and there
is not pupil III one OF them whose parents 90
not feel that they have direct claim upon tho
PdncpaI to attend to the interests Of "my
child,' particularly il the teacher will not adapt
herself to the special peculiarities Of that child
Let that Principal be required to teach the first
division Of Ills school, it is apparent to any Que
that the other eighteen must sutfer If the Prtn-
cipal is worth anything to bis school, or else tho
instruction In that first division must be OF very
little worth to class Of pupils needing the very
best and most thorough instruction that can be
furnished.
PRINCIPALS aud teachers can work but sixty
minutes in each hour, aud only certain number
OF hours out Of every twenty-four, and NC do
not question their willingness to render their
entire services to the schools, SO that in one
view Of the case they can put up with all these
chaugcs and 10 the very best they can under
the circumstances; but can We patrons OF the
schools afford to permit any such reduction rs
this Committee propose? For one, reply most
enphalically no, and believe express the sen
timent Of every PARENT.

sound, intelligent, practical, md upright bust

united with courage and energy, makes him, nf

TIE WORK or OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
In fhE Editor of The Tribune.


CHICAGO, June 17.-Judging by the report Of
a special committee recently made to the
Board of Education, Que would come to the
conclusion that the care and instruction OF
children was mere pastimc, and that too many
pupils could not be placed under one teacher;
yet every one knows, though he may never
have been inside school-room save as pupil,
that when a certain limit is reached every ad
ditional pupil must be SO much Of an oyertax
upon the energies Of the teacher, or else detract
from the worth of her labors upon each pupil.
We have never heard any one who WIS at NIL
familiar with the work OF the echoo]-room place
that number at more than forty, and patrons OF
all OUT private schools ure very careful to see
that much more than tho fortieth part Of the
services of one person shall be devoted to each
ono for whom tuition Is paid.
We ask In our public schools that each teacher
shall have charge of and fully instruct an aver
age Of .t!ffy:Jour pnptls,-forty-cight In the
grammar and sir ii the primary departments,
and nov this special Committee viii have the
public believe that teachers do not hare enough
to do.
Great stress seems to ba put upon the fact
that vacations and Saturdays are such relief
that she ought to be willing to do the more
during the DAYS she does work. We think
the physical condition Of large number Of our
teachers ut the present time a sufficient answer
to the question as to whether or not they hare
done years work since the LIST OF September
last
Perhaps the reduction in salaries, unjust
though it is, would be accepted with little com
plai1it, but the increase in the work put upon
our teachers falls not only upon them. hut Is a
positive injury and consequently wrong done
TO every pupil in our public schools.
The design seems not only to add to the mum
