Reform IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

WASHINGTON, November 2, 1855.
To THE EDITOR: Your remarks AZ TO the multi.
pllcty OF studies In public schools, etc., In your
Issue OF November 1, meet with The hearty approval
OF those who have given most thought to the matter
and who have had experience In schools elsewhere
az well as here. II was to remedy that, with other
Objectionable practices, that Trustee Blrney made
the effort last season, and yet, see what storm 1t
brought about his cars do not say that the man
In which he sought to apply the remedy was the
best, but ] know that his Idea ana object was to
bring about the very reform that you suggest among
others. The fact is, this matter OF reform I'm the

studies or the teachers lie s pitched into not only by

The building inspector is doing excellent
work in notifying the owners Of the worst
rookeries which disgrace and disdgure
Washington that these eyesores must be
removed. Some of them have already
obeyed and others are obeying, and a mani
fest Improvement is already the result. II
is astonishing to find among the names of
the notified those Of wealthy and prominent
citizens, amply able to lose the petty income
derived from such tenements, or to replace
these by substantial houses. This is sad
instance Of the heartlessness that ton often
accompanies wealth. and 1t is fortunate that
the force OF law can.be invok ed where other
motives fail to secure the performance of a
plaiu duty to humanity. Washington has
been afflicted ever since the war with the
shanties small and large that sprang up at
that period TO accommodate the influx of
refugees and other waits They are worse
than unsightly, for they are breeding places
OF disease aud shelters sfor low crimin ais.
There is no charity in letting them stand as
harbor for their wretched Inhabitants, who
are much better of when turned out TO seek
better quarters or exert themselves in honest
industry. The Government could do much
by purchasing for It's own use some OF the
squares worst afflicted in this way, such as
those southwest from the Capitol, and the
one west Of the Post Office Department, but
while II hesitates to do 80, the District au-
thorties are making the best Of the situation.

1t is not necessary to praise Mr.. Hill for
his splendid victory by attempting to depre-
ciate President Cleveland. Mr.. Hill received
almost exactly the same number of votes
this year that Mr.. Cleveland did last year,
and his plurality is larger only because
Davenport received fewer votes than did the
Blaine electors. When Mr.. Cleveland was
running for Governor his plurality was sew
eral times larger than Mr.. Hills this year
or anybody else's that ever ran in the State

so when they stopped counting. Nothing is
more deceptive than the arbitrary compari-

Congress will soon convene, and one of
the most important matters for action in
reference to this District is the long sought
increase in the police force. The recommen.
dation of the chief Of police for an addition
of thirty patrolmen is taken up and strongly
urged by the Republican and other journals.
The SUNDAY HERALD has repeatedly pre-
sented the question to every Congress for
years. 1t is poor policy to wait until some out.
break of violence or crime beyond the abilities
of the present force to cope with takes us una
wares and reveals the danger at time when
1t cannot be remedied. The ten.mile cir.
cults, or mile-sguare districts of many of
the present force, and therefore constant in
security to life and property, should be sufi-
cient argument for change. The Govern
ment reservations alone, especially after
nightfall, require the attention of a larger
orce. The farce of the employment of spe-
cial'police at the last inauguration, in con-
nection with their utter ineficiency.
shows another class Of emergencies likely to
arise here often. When several Congress-
men were prostrated with sewer gas hand
some sum was voted for immediate sewer
improvement. We ought not TO have to
wait until several members are robbed OF
perhaps murdered in some deserted streets
or parks before the pay is voted for addi.
tional police.
