WHAT BOYS SHOULD LEARN.

The last lecture but one. of the for 1873 and
1879, was delivered last evening in the large hall of
the Cooper Institute by Professor Charles A. Thomp
son. Of Worcester, Mass. The hall was pretty we'll
filled and the boys for whose instruction and benefit
the lecture was given. present in respectable
numbers. The subject of the lecture what
Boys Ought to Learn" The lecturer commenced by
quoting the answer of the Athcnan when asked
what boys ought to learn, namely, that Boys should
learn to be men," Primary education, taught
III the public schools, he contended. not sufii-
cient and he insisted upon the necessity of higher
schools where the foundation laid for their
career in future life. From sixteen to twenty-one
the young man laid up store of mental treasure to
be increased day by day for future plans and opera
tons Education. he said. d necessity for all.
the perpetuaton of our system Of government and
civilization rested upon the intelligence OF the peo-
pie. He doubted tho feasibility necessity
of forced education by law. and contrasted
the German boys ideas with the American
boys ideas. The German boy taught to obey
and knew. II lie knew anything. thing well.
while the American boy was independent and knew
master, and not only knew one thing but little
OF every thing. The lecturer dwet ut considerable
length upon handicraft and engineering. and spoke
rather too rapidly from his manuscript for the boys
to understand him properly. He then spoke of an
institute in Worcester Mass and gave In detail the
purposes. objects and operations of tho institute.
The lecture was listened to with much attention.
The venerable Peter Cooper, during the delivery Of
the lecture. occupied his customary seat on tho
platform.

Interview With Mayor COOper-The

Interview With Mayor COOpef-Ihe
Police Commissioners to be Removed
Eat Once"
The conversation with the Mayor which
we print this morning is perfectly satsfac-
tory on the n ain point respecting which
citizens who demand u reconstruction Of
the Police Department were beginning to
be anxious. We are assured by the Mayor,
in language as positive as it could well be
made, that the certificates of removal
are to be put in form without fur
ther delay and forwarded at once to
the Governor. The city has witnessed so
many abortive attempts at removals under
the last two municipal administrations that
when Mayor Cooper so long deferred ac-
ton on the case Of the Police Commission
ers it is not surprising that people began
to inquire if there was to be another SINH
lar fiasco. The Mayor does not explain the
reasons Of his unexpected procrastination;
but citizens will have no great curiosity
respecting them now that they are assured
with so much emphasis that there is to be
no further delay and that the removals are
friends Of order, cleanliness, and efficiency
would have been panied and mortified if
Mayor Cooper had added another to the
list of instances in which the vigor of the
war against recreant officers did not come
up to the promise of the manifesto.
We suppose it to be of minor importance
whether the Mayor has been correctly ad-
vised on disputable points of law. Gov
ernor Robinson, who is to pass on the re-
movals, is both sound lawyer and a most
careful, wary and painstaking officer, and
if there are defects in the evidence or
errors in the mode Of hearing, it
is competent for the Governor to
remit the case to the Mayor to supply
deficiencies either of form or substance.
Besides, it is the right Of the Governor to-
investigate the cases for himself and to seek
other evidence than that transmitted to him
by the Mayor-a right which was strongly
asserted by Governor Tilden in his letter to
Mayor Wickham in the case Of Corporation
Counsel Smith. We are entirely confident
that SO vigorous and circumspect an officer
as Governor Robinson will not permit any
legal loophole to be lett through which the
courts can reinstate the removed Com
missioners. If he discovers. that the
Mayor has made oversights or been
ill advised as to any point of law he will
remand the case to the Mayor for rectifca-
ton before acting on it himself, if he
should be satisfied, as he must be, that
there ore substantial grounds for removal.
We have no further fears that the three ac-
Let US hope that their successors will be
men of character and vigor, and that,
warned by the fate of their predecessors,
they will not be remiss in the discharge of
their duties.

the current issues both of the NineteeaHs
Century and of the Contemporary Recie,c is
assigned to thoughtful earnest articles by
clergymen of the Church of England who

of our contemporaries three days ago called
upon the New York clergy to state their
real opinions to-day upon the doctrines of
verbal inspiration of the Scriptures, the
everlasting punishment of the wicked and
the observance Of the Sabbath. Should the
invitation be generally accepted this date
will be memorable one in the history of
the reconciliation OF religion with science.

been convened for the purpose of exonerat-

longs into disrepute: No one has case to

The German Police and the Post
Office.

Herr Liebknecht repeated i'll the German
Reichstag on Thursday the charge that "the
inviolability of letters guaranteed by the
constitution had become worthless" be-
cause of the frequent and abusive use the
police made of the right to scrutinize pack
ages addressed to supposed socialists. But
the Postmaster General declared categori-
cally that ''no sealed inland packets have
ever been opened" and that upon investi-
cation he had found that the cases cited by
Herr Liebknecht were groundless. In the
face of such response it must be supposed
that all that has been said by the German
socialists on this subject is mere clamor
from opponents of the government.
