Why is there so much public indiffer-
ence regarding the common schools?
Notwithstanding the ~yirulent attacks
that it seems to be the fashion to bestow
upon public schools, it would be difficult
to find an intelligent man who would
not acknowledge that, as a moral, mental
and economic power, the public school
system is one of our most important and
cherished institutions. At some future
time, perhaps. we may have something
to say in v~erification of this statement.
Admitting its truth, for the present, let
us ask why this important interest is SO
shamefully neglected. What concerns
the future of our youth and our country
more closely than the prosperity of our
schools? 10 what interest should we
look with greater solicitude? Do our
conversation and our acts show this So
licitude? Do W. even exhibit the inter-
est in this that we show in commerce, in
politics, in business. 10 fashion, in soci-
ETY.? Does the press present this as one
of the foremost subjects deserving our
attention? On the contrary, is it not
almost wholly disregarded by the aver
age newspaper Is it possible that, in
this respect, the papers represent the
wishes of their readers? If the people
really feel SO much indifference, it is
one of the wonders of the nineteenth
century that the schools have survived
such a burden of apathy. How greatly
some of our enterprise needs TO be
transferred from business to schools.
and our patriotism from politics to edu-
cation, May the time speedily come
when. in accordance with an ad rance Of
public sentiInent( las well as for that end)
newspapers generally will recognize in
our ommoR schools, and all educational
enterprises, subjects Of the Creates in
terest and Importance for their columns.
