me EDUCATION or cglLDREy

The public schools are soon to be rcopcned.
New FORK is behind none of her sister States in
educational advantages. Her schools, acada-
mics, colleges and other institutions of learning
are the best of their kind. Alive to the fact
that the inclination of the tree depends upon
the bent given the twig, her citizens cheerluly
pay out annually a very large I'm for the man-
tenance of OuI excellent common school system.
The colleges and academies are carefully super
vised by the Regents of the University; the
common schools by Superintendent of Public
Instruction. Teachers institutes, 80 called, are
held at regular intervals in all sections of the
State, having for their object the conservation
of the art of teaching, and e ght normal schools
arc maintained for the same purpose For the
benefit of those who cannot avail themselves of
the day schools good night schools have been
provided. Add to this wise and generous pro-
vision for the instruction Of the rising genera
ton in New York, the private educational in
situtions which abound Oh every side, and we
have total which is well calculated to los er
State pride.
But there is another side to the picture and
Il dark side it is. Some years ago the LeSslat
urc, in response TO clearly expressed public
sentiment, passed compulsory education act.
1t provided chat children who would not 20 TO
school voluntarily should be compelled to go n
certain number of weeks in each year. The
law was generally commended, but difficulty has
been found in enforcing it. In his annual re-
port in 1873 the Superintendent of Public In
struction had this to say about it,
have called city suDerIntendents OF schools for
special reports giving information to what had been

IMPRESSIONS or THE SOUTH.

In the last Hdrpers Magazine Mr.. Charles
Dudley Warner presents his lmpressi ons of
the South Mr.. Warner devoted an entire
summer to his New England garden before
making book of his impressions of that
prescribed domain. But he does not hest
tate to print his impressions of a vast section
of the United States after what he admits was
merely ga short visit" to it. However
it must be remembered that there are lightning
impression gatherers, just as there arc lightning
calculators. care you sure it was of Monday
and between noon and o'clock when this ac-
cident occurred" asked the crOss-examiner Of
the man who had sued Mississippi steamboat
company. one OF whose boilers had blown him
sky high. 81 am" was the prompt reply, " for
remember seeing clothes hanging out to dry
and folks eating ther dinner as l was coming
down"
One of the most remarkable of Mr. Warmers
impressions is set forth in these words:
Ihave believed that the past ten years there has
been growing in this country stronger feeling of
tionatya distinct American historic consciousncss
ard nowhere else has IL developed rapidly o late
the South am CONVINCED that this is genuine deyel
opment attachment to the Union and Of pr1s In tho
Nation and in any respect political
unworthy purposes.
Can this individual impression be correct !
1t is the general impr ession Of MS Northerners
"a general impression including u good deal of
impression not consequent upon I" a short
visit THAT the North has never tainted
or faltered III her passionate love for
the Union; that "of late" as during
the war, she has been supremacy devoted
to It's welfare. But to adopt Mr.. Warmers
impression is to reject this general inn
preston For if attachment to the Union "
has developed more rapidly of late at the South
than at the North, it must be because of late
the North's heart has grown comparatively
cold or at least comparatively iukewarm. What
do the Grand Army posts say TO that PROPOSE
ton Have they, have the rest of the Northern
people been conscious "of late that they were
suff ring from arrested development of amor
patriG 1t would seem to be necessary to the
thorough understanding of the impression to
learn what is meant by "of late as

done by the school authorities during the preceding
school year in regard to carrying out the provisions Oh
the act entitled An act 20 secure TO children the Dene
fits OF an elementary education" These reports gener
ally show that steps in this direction nave been taken
and that this law in the cities Is not ehorced Wi1
perhaps tho EXCEPTION of the city OF New- YORK have
given instructions to the school officers 10 the other
school districts Of the State to prepare schedule giving
tho names of all the children OF school age resident
therein together with their ages This schedule Is at
tached the regular annual reports OF the trustees
which reports are required by law TO be finally He'd In
the offices OF the county clerks
The law still remains on the statute books
and now here comes Commissioner Peck, OF the
State Bureau of Labor Statistics who reports
that @the compulsory education law of the
State has not met the expectations OF Its franz
sers. 1t is to all intents and purposes dead
aletterr We commend these words to the
consideration of the citizens of New York who
have n patriotic regard for the common wei
fare. The non reinforcement of the act in ques-
ton can only result in serious public injury.
Ignorance has well been styled the mother OF
vice. The report of the superintendent of
Public Instruction for this year presents some
figures which may prolltaby be studied by one
wishing to get at the size of New ork's crop of
ignorance and idleness. The number of chill
dren of school age in the State at the date of
the report was 1855, 1O0 while the number
attending the common schools was but
1,041 ,0S9.
If the compulsory education act contains de-
fleets so serious as to defeat its purpose let it be
repealed and It's place filed with one that is
sound in every section. If it is not open to
criticism, let it be enforced. There is one thing
which even so rich and prosperous Common
wealth AS ours cannot afford. 1t cannot afford
to have portion of the population grow up in
ignorance. Some of our legislators have given
n good deal of attention of late to measures de.
signed to improve the school system. What is
more needed is the adoption CT some plan which
shall result in the more general diffusion OF the
system as it is.

10 appears that out of about 10000 post
offices in the country, nearly 1000 have under.
gone reform since the Senate adjourned.
Out of 1882 Presidential Offices the postmast
els have been changed at i57, and out of
1921 fonrth-class post-oilices, tho post
masters have been changed ut G,4OO. IL will
be Observed by those who still believe in the
sincerity of President Ccyclands Professions
that nearly onc-tbird Of the changes IN the
small pOst-olices namely 2,OJO. nave been
made since March 1 in four States in which
elections are to take place this fall, namely.
6lS in Ohio, JJS in New York, i39 ia Virginia
and 40 in Pennsylvania. IL might be well
for the Civil Service refOrmcrs 10 explain this
performance if they can, in harmony with the
resolution indorsng the Presidents course.
But question of such importance is happily
not lef, to an irresponsible ASSOCIATION which
has shown a considerable lack OF judicial apti-
tude 1t will come before the Senate aud that
body will be called upon 10 consider whether
the reasons given for this great numDcr of
changes justify the action of the President
The Senate will properly ask, hpt. how many
of these men were removed for Incompetence,
uuftness or proved misconduct. 1t will ap-
pear, in all probability, that out of nearly 1000
postmasters removed, scarcely more than one
IN a thousand. if 80 many have been removed
for reasons which genuine reform of the Civil
Service recognizes. II will appear that in
nearly all the 6,s37 cases the old men have been
turned out because they were Republicans,
although known to be efficient and honest. 1t
will appear that the new men have been nut i'm
because they were Democrats, although it was
known that all were inexperienced and there
is remarkably good reason to believe that not
few are unworthy-for instance, the post
master in Maine who was appointed while in
jail If Republicans were put out because of
partisansbip, the Senate will inquire, and it
ought to inquire, whether the Democrats in
their places were put in because OF PARTISAN
