The Public School System.

Editor LIGHT:
The state system Of education is sus-
ceptible Of very considerable improve
ment in it's working machinery and what
is obvious to all who have studied this
system, improvement Is badly needed.
The public schools should be kept
open at least nine months In the year,
and to effect this change ia really mat
ter of prime importance to the useful
ness Of the public schools. II there are
now too many public schools, let them
be reduced in number-if the present
school fund is too small, let the legisls-
ture increase 1t by appropriations. The
public school system Is farce, where
the schools are open only six months in
a year, since the habit of attention and
application is soon lost by children that
attend school only few months in the
year.
The same text books should be used in
every public school in the state. and the
state superintendent should prescribe
these text books.
There should be county superiHtend-
ent OF education in each county, with
authority to examine and license teach
ers-and to revoke them for good cause, :.
after an impartial Investigation into any
alleged misconduct, or incompetency.
Ii should be made obligatory on such
county superintendent TO visit and in
spect each public school at least once
during every session. and to correct any
thing that may be amiss in
the mode of conducting such school.
AS one bad, vicious and unmanner-
ly boy will ruin dozen boys,
the county superintendent should be
authorized to exclude such boys from
the public schools in his county until
they give satisfactory proof of reforma-
ton. Inasmuch as corporal punishment
has been done away with. exclusion of
vicious and manageable children from
the public schools seems to be a neces-
sitv, unless it be the determination 10
suffer them to COntaminate the entire
school by their evil example. Probably,
their public exclusion from the public
schools might arouse their parents TO
tirmer exercise of parental control and
be followed by excellent results. Teach
ers can accomplish but little. unless the
parents of the pupils maintain the pro.
per control and authority over their
children In the home circle.
The legislature should endeavOr to in
crease the usefulness of the public
schools in Texas; and the first step In
this direction is to have scholastic
term of ten months in each year and to
employ none except competent teachers.
The efficiency and usefulness of the
public schools is a matter of deep con-
Germ to every citizen of the state-more
especially to poor men, and happily ii
is nOn-pOlitical question above par
tizan prejudices and animOsities.
