B. P. Anderson on High Schools and
the Half Day System.
To the Editor of the Ledger.

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
AS a rule, an attempt to explain"
figures results in the confirmation Of the
facts presented by them. 1t is especially
the case with your morning cotempo-
rsry, who undertakes to explain the
figures presented in my former commu.
nication. The point made by those fig.
ures was that the lower grades in our
city schools are made to suffer by con
tinuing the expense of a high school.
Of the t~hirty.two schools having more
than forty pupils each, my recollection
is that at least twenty-five of them are
below the fourth grade, the eighth being
the highest grade. These lower grades
being overerowded need more teach
ers; and they cannot be employed while
our whole income is being expended.
Reduce the expenses by dispensing with
the high school, and we can employ at
least eight more teachers for the lower
grade. Or to put the matter in another
and perhaps palmer way. the school
board have an income of $5e, 900 in
round numbers. Their expenses are
$4,000 in round numbers. The lower
grade of schools are over.crowde6. We
must have more money and more teach.
ers, or 60 in debt and suffer the lower
grades to continue over.crowded. Ny
remedy for this condition Of things
is to suspend the high school. Auy one
ought to understand this plain PROPOSE.
ton, aud that it was the point made by
the figures heretofore Published.
The halliday system is good for the
little ones, and bad for the teachers. 1t
is a plan devised to get along with q less
number Of teachers than is ordinarily
required. Under this system an indus.
trious, energetic teacher may manage
sixty pupils successfully. But, unfortu.
nately for our city schools, the system
requires a teacher 10 manage over one
hundred scholars, and in three cases over
one hundred and thirty So your cotem.
porary again inds the plain figures come
up to destroy the force Of his "explana.
ton The truth is, and it cannot be
eVaded or explained away, as our
schools are now situated we have not
quite money enough to pay sixty. one
teachers; they are required to do a
work which cannot be we'll performed
by less than seyenty.ive teachers;
the lower grades only are over.
crowded; aud the high school is cor.
tinued at an expense which would en-.
able us to employ eight more teachers in
these lower grades. With this truth pa
tent to all who will take the trouble to
look at it, islit prudent or fair to con.
tinue that branch Of the SCHOOL, The
people ought to answer in the coming
election. If the question is fairly pre.
sented | believe they will anSver by di.
recting the school board to suspend the
high school. Lite is too short to under.
take to answer wo-columu articles of wild
theories on a perfectly plain business
proposition. We have a good school
system, IN excellent superintendent, a
we'll organized school board, and a gu.
perior corps Of teachers. With all these
elements to make good schools they
ought not to be demoralized or injured
by oyer.crowding the sehool.room or
over.working the teacher.

The PennsrIvaniA Riots.
