nnoK NOTICES.

We have received from the publish
ers, Scrbner Il Co, of New York, a
new hymn and tune book, compiled by
DIR. Robinson, entitled spiritual
Songs." This is in many respects the
most complete collection of sacred
songs that we have yet seen, Among
the many ephemeral and new-iangled
productions that have recently been
introduced into the psalmody OF the
church, il is refreshing to pick up such
book as this. iD which all those grand
old hymns and tunes that have so long
dignifed and inspired this part Of
public and social worship have been
scrupulously preserved. All the more
modern compositions of genuine merit
have been added to them; leaving in
deed but little to be desired in the way
OF complete hymnal. To show from
how large a field the editor Of this col
lection has culled, the index Of authors
shows q list of names, including all
who have attained any prominence in
this department Of sacred literature.
The tunes, Of which also there is full
index are as well selected as the
hymns. The two invariably accompa-
ny one another in their proper order.
There is foil index as well as CLASH
ication OF subjects, aud an iodex Of
first lines aud Of stanzas. The work is
beautifully gotten up and is worthy Of
universal circulation among the
churches.

OUR CITY SCHOOLS.

The recent public criticism of our city
schools might lead those unacquainted
with the facts to think that the instruc-
ton given was worthless, and that our
teachers were not accomplishing good
results; but l believe that if parents and
others interested were To visit the schools
simply with view to a careful examin-
alton of their working, they would, as l
have, reach different conclusion. From
observation of the advancement of num-
Der of children with whom l am ac-
quainted, and from several visits to the
schools at different times during the
year, believe that oar schools acre nee
err doing better ao0rk, and that they are
worthy of special commentator in the
thor0ughness and practical value of the
instruction given. / have looked over
the course of study, and noted the time
given to the various branches-not in
Guiding Eating and crocheting'-and
know something of the grade work from
my own children, who have been in the
several departments. In the high school
there are pupils who will complete the
ten years course in seven years; some
who will graduate at the age of fifteen,
and quite number who, if they keep
pace with the advancement of their
grade, Will complete the entire course by
the time they are sixteen. Some of these
pupils have passed examinations at the
Normal at different times, and in enter
ing there did not fall back in their class
work. This ought to be fair test of the
thoroughness of work in the city schools
These are not eXceptiOnable cases, as any
one who will listen to the class recita
lions will be readily able to see, but they
are simply taken as fair illustrations of
the kind of work that is being done. OF
course there are pupils who are unable
TO come up to the average standard of
their grade, as there always will be in
any school and the cramped and over
crowded condition of our schools makes
it all the more difficult tor our teachers
to give these students the individual help
they require.
1t is well known that we have needed
more school room for some time, and the
constant and rapid growth of our town
makes this want felt more keenly every
day. If / mistake not, no teacher has
an enrolment of less than sixty pupils,
while in the primary department under
the half day syStem-a necessity, yet IN
satisfactory to ala single teacher has
the care of one hundred and fifty. With
these facts in mind, and in view of the
inadequacy of the apparatus in some
classes, in which apparatus is a necessi-
ty, the wonder is that our teachers &C
complish so much and do what they do
so efficiently. They need no apology for
inefficient work because even under these
unfavorable circumstances our schools
maintain q hiUh cfanHar6 of aVoaIlanoo
and feel that it is but Justice to our
teachers that they should have some
credit for what they are accomplishing.
If painstaking interest in pupils and un-
firing devotion to their work are to re-
ceive any credit, think it due our city
teachers, as a corps, and that there should
be shown by the public some apprecia-
ton of their work other than reckless
and ill-advised criticism. NJ. J. p.

The Louisville Courier-Journal is
startled. From the report of the super
intendent of schools it infers that one
half the children of pupil age in Ken
tuoky are without instruction of any
kind. The total collections for school
purposes give only $135 TO each of the
six thousand districts in the state, and
in many districts no school at all is open.
There are 100000 white and $4,000 col
Ored children not in the schools. The
