TnE HERALD i, neither to be ridiculed

TmE HERALD is neither to he ridiculed
out of the position it has taken upon
the question of public schools by the
elephantine antics Of the Bourbon ele-
ment, nor the clamor of pot.housc poll
ticians and played out dcmagogues.
The people of this city, as a community,
are too intelligent and progressive to be
drawn into a togy opposition to popular
education, The taxpayers are few who
will begrudge fifty cents or twenty-five
cents on the hundred dollars for the
purpose of establishing public schools as
ameans of staying the growing tide OF
ignorance and crime, resulting largely
from our lack of educational facilities
for the poor.

From that time Charles Hallam'
