A New Movement.
For the 1NTRLLIGENCER.

For the lNTRLLIGENCER.
MEssRs. EDITORS: Shall we have a
city superintendent for our common
schools? This question is to be dis
cussed this evening by the men,
bers of our board of school directors. For
what is the new officer desired? Beyond
question che new Office will be anxiously
canvassed for by host of aspirants If it
be created. Why the great anxiety for the
establishment OF an Office that We have
dispensed with for many years We have
county superintendent and that is all
sufficient. He examines our teachers and
visits the schools occasionally, and what
else is needed If that be a benefit, then
we have it. We are told that most of the
other cities of Pennsylvania have superin-
tendents We are again told that the salary
for the Office will come out of the state
funds Who replcnishes the state funds ?
Do the people, or does it accumulate of its
accord Please answer.
No one would oppose the new office if it
was manifest that the public interests were
suffering. But they are not. Our schools
are as good as required. and as good as the
bulk of our children can enjoy. The ever
Jealous incorporation of new branches into
the curriculum Of our studies do the
masses of our pupils no real good. After
the acquisition Of few branches the great
majority of our school children find them
selves in active callings. Why should the
parents of these, then, be taxed to elevate
a school system for the sole benefit of the
few?
Our directors should consider this
motto and reflect what benefit the super
intcndency can be to those who must soon
leave the schools for the active walks of
life. Many false notions exist as regards
the free schools. They are viewed as the
grand dcsiderata of the poor. They are
claimed as putting the poor and rich upon
a level. Hence popular prejudice wor-
ships them. Many delusions wcnd their
way through them. because OF this preju-
dice. The hypocritc secs in them a means
by which to feather his nest at the peoples
expense. The people are told of the Won
derful advantages of keeping up with the
tide Of progress. They do not see, how
ever, that the so-called progress taxes them
for what they can never enjoy and for
what a few alone are benefited by. The
above thoughts are scattered for reflection.
Some of our directors have thought the
same without doubt. As citizen l feel
an interest that our city keep on in its
march (, ..:.:crvatism, and refrain from
the creation of a useless office, induced
simply by the argument that the other
cities of the state have established it. l
want better argument than that.
