pUBLIo MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS.

There is no subject which at any time can IN
terest the people of New-York more directly
and vitality than the welfare of the common
schools. And Just now this subject is more
messing and important than it has been for
many months. THE TRIBUNE yesterday re-
ferred TO the defects in the sanitary condition
of the buildings and to the serious injury done
70 the health of children by forcing them to
breathe impure air in over-crowded class
rooms. Of course the worthy members of our
Board of Education-which, perhaps, contains
larger number of really disinterestcd and
public spirited citizens than any other board or
commission in the city gOvernment-are anx-
iOus that the buildings shall be models OF com
fort and convenience, and that New iork
schools shall set the standard of public mStruc-
ton in the country. This being the case, ana
the deficiencies in our system being neverthe-
less conspicuous and lamentable, the cOnversa-
tons on this subject with prominent COmmls-
sioners of Education and other leading citizens
which are reported in other columns to-day
deserve careful attention.
II is an easy answer to all ult-fnding to say
that the amount of money appropriated Is not
sufficient TO raise the schools to such a level of
efficiency and excellence as is desired. Some
members of the Board always have this reply
-, t,o tins of +boir tonoucs. and they are par
